"There is no such thing as transsexualism.
Hear me out. I mean this much the same as "there is no such thing as cancer, dementia, depression, intersex," etc. There is no UNITARY THING. There are several smaller related concepts which are put under that umbrella but no unifying thread between them in terms of causation, and thus treatment.
For both males and females there are three potential causes of "trans" phenomena. These are OCD, homosexuality, and paraphilia.
I will explain each of these in consecutive posts so I don't hit the character limit."
