Nobody knows for sure. We do know that it spikes during times of war, civil unrest, and famine, and we know that some medications and other chemicals may be to blame. It is suspected to happen during the first trimester of pregnancy.
A good number of genuine transsexuals who are not transgendered are over 50 or 60 years in age, and they may suffer other health anomalies as well. One possible explanation is that their mothers took a synthetic estrogen called DES that was commonly prescribed to women at risk for miscarriage.
Also, several drugs for prostate problems and hair loss have warnings for women likely to become pregnant to not take them nor even to touch or go near broken tablets. Apparently, that can cause transsexualism and intersex conditions if the woman is exposed during the first trimester of pregnancy.
Keep in mind that people flush medications down toilets and excrete medications in their waste, and that not all the drugs get filtered out when the sewage is treated. Estrogens and similar compounds are hard to eliminate from waste, though there are experiments such as adding cattail marshes to the sludge pool, since the plants will absorb the estrogens and some of the other chemicals. Then the plants can be harvested and sold as biomass for making ethanol.

Can someone be born a transsexual?
Yes. Most with transsexualism are born that way, they usually knew they had it before age 6, and they get the surgery to stop having transsexualism. The condition of transsexualism is not the same as the lifestyle of transgenderism. Transgender is mostly a choice and is a fairly recent concept. Transsexualism is a diagnosis while transgenderism is mostly a self-identity.
Is transsexualism illegal?
No, it is not illegal in most of the world. Transsexualism is a condition, not a crime nor behavior. If being with the opposite genitals of what you were supposed to have is a crime, then why isn't cancer, heart disease, and diabetes considered crimes?
Do you agree with transsexualism?
yes because in that way the men deserves to be happy.
Why do transsexuals exist?
Well, to put it simply: we exist because we exist. There is no "why", but we can explain how it happens. During the mother's pregnancy, something happens and causes hormonal imbalances and tells the brain to become one sex and the body to become the other. Gender Identity: brain's gender (inside). Physical sex: body's gender/sex (outside). When the two do not line up, as a condition of birth, you get a transsexual baby. Transgenderism, on the other hand is caused more by developmental issues, milder predisposing issues than born transsexualism, or personal choice in some cases. The idea that transsexualism refers to post-ops is a hurtful myth. A person is born with transsexualism and eliminates it with surgery. Nobody gets surgery to become a transsexual, but to stop having transsexualism. True-transsexualism has nothing to do with the lifestyle, choice, or third-gender state of transgenderism. People who are born in the wrong body are not the same as people who choose to dress up and live as what they are not.
Can estrogen pill make a man into a transsexual?

Can bipolar disorder cause transsexualism or vice-versa?
Psychology uses terms such as 'bipolar disorder' and 'transsexualism' to refer to specific symptoms, not diseases or disorders (despite the word 'disorder' in 'bipolar disorder'). As a result of this, they cannot possibly cause each other. However, there could possibly be disease(s) that lead to both bipolar disorder as well as transsexualism. An example is post traumatic stress. Post traumatic stress could lead to either bipolar disorder or transsexualism or both. The truth is, psychology has not been sufficiently developed to answer this question accurately and with certainty. It is philosophy, and statistics, not yet a hard science.

What is the belief of the Mormons about transsexualism?
"Mormons" (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) believe that transsexualism is wrong, and that gender is a unique trait given to each of us by God. God does not make mistakes! While we hold this belief, we recognize and appreciate the freedom of belief and expression. We believe that we should love all people because God loves all people. Therefore, although we thing transsexualism is wrong, we strive to be kind and loving to those who are struggling with this issue in their lives.
How is transsexualism a good thing?
It is neither a good thing nor a bad thing, but a fact of life. Some people are born with genitals that do not match who they were born to be. So in that sense, being born with transsexualism is no better than having cancer or being born with some deformity. True-transsexualism is not a choice nor something anyone does, but it is something to get rid of so you can be fully what you believe you were meant to be. So the good thing here is the corrective surgery to allow persons born with transsexualism to lead normal lives. Think of sex-reassignment like any other surgery to eliminate a deformity. Of course, some folks get the surgery in error, such as transgendered persons who would be better off without surgery thinking they have transsexualism when they don't. They may get the surgery to try to make others like and respect them or for other reasons than becoming whole. But nothing changes, and they find they didn't really dislike what they had before, and they feel stuck and more miserable than before.
