why a person become transexual ?

Answer 1

It's because he/she wants to, it's none of your business.

Answer 2

I am a transsexual and some of the answers given by others need to be addressed-

Rumpranger714- it's having to deal with a seemingly interminable condition that causes the emotional and psychological problems, not being transsexual.

CrashD- you said:

A LOT of different reasons...

-Just f'd up mentally

*actually, according to all the psycholgical tests that have been administered to me, I have a completely normal female mind in a male body.

-Pleasure -- want both male and female parts

*maybe, but those are fetishists and she-males, not true transsexuals.

-Feel like they're a man trapped in a woman's body / vice versa

*Trite description- kind of true, but considered too simplistic.

-They're gay and feel more comfortable w/ genitals of the other gender

*NO gay man wants to get a sex change- they are comfortable with being male and have no desire for a sex change. Some transsexuals may think that they ARE gay, but later discover that they are really transsexual.

MiD- WTF!?!? I think you have been educated WAY beyond your intelligence- or to put it your way- glaff blarbley garbley gloop.

Cut and Paste much?

Dragonfly hit the nail on the head- either you are transsexual, or you are not- the changes to the mind happen before the baby is born and the condition is set for life. Some may fight it, but it is always there, just under the surface.

Answer 3

People become transexual because they don't feel they are in the right body.

Answer 4

First, let's make a distinction between sex and gender. Sex is physical; gender is mental, it is what you feel that you are. Hence, homosexuality is SEXual orientation and transgenderism is GENDER identity.
It's because the hypothalamus, which controls gender identity, is set up for the opposite gender. Humans are basically set up on the female frame (hence the nipples on men), but with the introduction of testosterone and other hormones, the physical sex is switched from female to male. But when the hypothalamus is not in sync with the rest of the body, you can mentally be one gender while physically being the opposite sex. Between the two, the mental gender will beat out the physical sex, but since most of the population doesn't know what it feels like to be transgendered, they simply have no concept of what transmen and transwomen go through in life.

Answer 5

what choice do i have? i didnt want to become a woman or fe
male transsexual, and regardless to what others might say or
think. i know that i was born with this situation, and i refuse to
allow someone who knows nothing at all about the subject, to
draw me into an arena of public debate, just to prove what i al
ready know what is true and real about myself? but if i did hav
e a choice during my childhood, or now, i would surely vote to
be a girl or woman, and to be in the right body, insted of bein
g trapped in this mans body, like i am right now? yes, i do ha
ve a choice, and that is to live as i must, or are assigned to liv
e and survive, or to give up and committ suicide, and die? bei
ng a woman or female transsexual, is just as real as anything
else, or anybody else that you may come in contact with today
thank yall for giving me the time to once again speak a little m
ore about myself, and what i know to who and what i am, insid
e and out.

Answer 6

Because they want to.

*Why DOES a person become A transexual?*

Answer 7

I don't think people "become" transexual. I believe people are born that way.

Answer 8

A LOT of different reasons...

-Just f'd up mentally
-Pleasure -- want both male and female parts
-Feel like they're a man trapped in a woman's body / vice versa
-They're gay and feel more comfortable w/ genitals of the other gender

The reasons can be endless and infinate. They may be one, all, or even other reasons besides the reasons given above.

Answer 9

Because they are messed up in the head. If a person ever went to a doctor and requested a sex change the doctor should just pull out a revolver and plug them saying "Not in this life."

Answer 10

Stage VII autogenic discharge.

These are the seven states of autogenic discharge. You can look up autogenic training on the Internet to see what causes it.

W. Luthe has tried to bring some order to the process by describing the differentiation of the visual phenomena into seven states (Luthe, 1970).

Stages Of Brain-Directed Visual Elaboration During Autogenic Training And Autogenic Abreaction

Stage I. Static Uniform Colors
Elementary stage characterized by one-tone color filling the entire visual field (mostly dark shades). Frequently described as "just nothing", a "blank", or "as if my eyes are closed". Less frequently are lighter shades (e.g., silvery gray, yellow, pink, or light blue).

Stage II. Dynamic Polymorphic Colors
Elementary stage with more differentiated elaboration of chromatic, structural (e.g., cloud-like, shadows, vague forms), and dynamic features (e.g., various simple movements).

Stage III. Polychromatic Patterns and Simple Forms
Elementary stage with more differentiated and specific elaborations of forms (e.g., discs, ovals, rings, dots, lines, textile patterns), colors (e.g., purple, brown, blue, green), and dynamic features (e.g., turning, coming close, getting bigger, undulating, "flying" or "falling").

Stage IV. Objects
Further structural and chromatic differentiation of mostly static objects (e.g., utilitarian, ornamental, symbolic, faces, masks, monsters) which appear on a background of mostly dark shades or colors. Realistic or unrealistic dynamic features (e.g., "a turning coffee pot", and "a moving candle") may occur.

Stage V. Transformation of Objects and Progressive Differentiation of Images
Development of differentiated images (e.g., interiors, outdoor) of progressively increasing complexity with gradual transformations, displacements and polychromatic features. Realistic components may be distinguished. "Self-participation" rare.

State VI. Filmstrips
Highly differentiated and complex elaborations of structural, dynamic and chromatic elements. During advanced phases of this stage the trainee may occasionally change from the role of a "passive observer" into an "active participant" (e.g., "Now I am looking out the window"). Realistic and unrealistic features are distinguished.

Stage VII. Multichromatic Cinerama
Highest level of elaboration with prolonged periods of "self-participation" (e.g., "I am choking my father", " I am being eaten up by a huge monster", "I am driving along a road"). Realistic and unrealistic developments may alternate. Luthe, (1970) notes regarding this stage:

The highest level of differentiation of visual elaborations is usually associated with correspondingly high degrees of functional flexibility, providing optimal conditions for differentiated and multithematic processes of brain-directed neutralization. Spontaneous age regressions and spontaneous age progressions, transsexual transformation, engagement in violent dynamics of aggression or all imaginable activities of a sexual nature occur at this level of differentiation. Material of experiential nature (e.g., fight with a teacher) and disturbing material of non- experiential origin (e.g., suffering in hell, dying) may participate in highly complex and variable cinerama productions. Initially, cinerama patterns are of shorter duration, and functional regressions to state VI tend to occur easily. Later these cinerama elaborations may continue for one or two hours or even longer.
