Transsexual genetic research lines up with personal reporting
Transsexual genetic research lines up with personal reporting Genetic researchers have discovered a repeating sequence of genes among transsexuals that affects the sexual development of the brain. And while it has long been postulated that it is a "hormonal flush" of the brain - or lack thereof - before birth that could cause the development of transsexuals, guess what? The genes in question appear to be responsible for just that. The new study, even though it has its flaws, may prove to be one of the more dominant theories about the cause of transsexuality. Gwen Smith, pictured, calls the research encouraging "proof" of what people have been saying all along, that transsexualism is more of a physical, genetic variance, rather than a mental health issue. �[Date: 10-Jun-05 ]
