Yes. The chromosomes, usually, determine the born gender. There are some exceptions though. This most often occurs in those born as women, when the chromosomes were originally that of a male, and during the very early stages of development the genetic information isn't carried over correctly. This does not cause these women to be transexuals though. It does however cause a form of Gonadal Dysgenesis, a common one which is called Sywer Sydrome, or XY Gonadal Dysgenesis.I may have misunderstood, and correct me if I'm wrong, but is a person born as a male who feels they should be a female have the male chromosone makeup?
Yep, it's as Luke Wolf says. There are also genetic conditions like androgen insensitivity syndrome, where an individual has XY (male) chromosomes, but their body develops as female because their body can't process male sex hormones. Such individuals usually don't realize there's an anomaly until they don't start menstruating.Hi Jaymes, I may have misunderstood, and correct me if I'm wrong, but is a person born as a male who feels they should be a female have the male chromosone makeup?
To be honest the only thing I know of from my interaction in the FTM community is that some people were (or are) anorexic or bulimic and may think of surgery and hormone therapy as a further way to control their bodies. In my experience that is extremely rare, though. Nothing comes to mind for me beyond that. :sorry1:I understand that not all people who desire a *'sex change' are *'true transsexuals' and that they may have a *'mental condition' that must first be ruled out prior starting the 'sex change' process by medical professionals. Can you explain just what those mental conditions are? If someone has such a mental condition wouldn't it do more damage to them to encourage them in their thought that they are a true transsexual?
You know, I'm not sure what to say. I don't think I have ever heard of a mental condition that could lead one to want sex reassignment surgery (SRS) without being transgendered. Also, it is my understanding that one cannot even undergo SRS without first going through the therapy. It's like any other surgery: you can't get it unless you've been medically cleared for it. SRS is a medical procedure, not cosmetic surgery. All of the transsexuals I know that have or are going through the process had to see a psychotherapist regularly and had to have another therapist consult, evaluate and sign off on the surgery before it could happen.
Again, I'm not sure what you're getting at. If you could provide more specific information I think it might help. Also, if you haven't already done so I would recommend visiting some of the sites linked in this thread. Jaymes has done a wonderful job gathering resources for people who are curious on the topic and you may find the answer you are looking for at one of the linked sites. If so, please be sure to come back and share it with us!
Most often, it is due to medical conditions, if SRS is denied, as such a surgery, and even replacing the bodies natural hormones with artificial hormones of the opposite sex, is EXTREMELY traumatic to the body. Even just changing ones hormones can cause alot of complications, such as blood clots.Why? In some cases it is because the patient it not a true transsexual but rather has a metal disorder or condition in which he or she feels that being someone or something else will solve all the problems of their life. I would like to know more about those who are *'rejected' for the SRS due to that reason alone.
