The last ten years of research seems to support the prevailing theory among researchers and doctors, that gender dysphoriea [Transsexualisum] is not a mantel disorder, but rather a birth defect. Much the same as being born with a bad heart valve.
There is an anatomical difference between a male and a female brain. It possible to hand a medical student a human brain and ask the student; "Is this brain male or female?" and by checking certain structures IN the brain the student can say that the brain is either male or female. but the student may not be able to say if it's from a man or a woman it MAY be from a gender dysphoric person.

IF this research turns out to be right… Will you reevaluate your personal position regarding transsexuals?

Dear Patti C,
The most compelling and thorough research was performed postmortem on the brains of 18 Male-to-females. In ALL 18 cases the brains were anatomically female.
As fair as I know that particular study has yet to be repeated [For lack of specimens.] Nor have I fond any evidence of a like study on female-to-male brains. However I believe there IS a study presently underway at U of M involving CAT scans of the brains of volunteer transsexuals.

Well, I never considered transsexualism to be a mental disorder. So, it would not really make any difference to me except in knowing the real cause.

I support equality for transsexuals, so that would not change either. On a personal note, I've always thought it would be very hard to be transsexual, even more difficult than being gay. That will not change until society changes.

I would have to read the research to see how the studies were made to see if I even believed it to be valid.

However to answer your last question, I am certain I would have second thoughts on my position regarding sex change operations.
