I'll posit for the sake of argument that transgenderism is not a single specific syndrome, but a catch-all for genetic abnormalities where the gender part of a person's mental development diverges from their physical development.
Lemme paint a picture for you. A woman and her husband come to the doctor because they can't conceive a child. The doctor does a genetic screen and finds out to everyone's shock that the wife is genetically male, even though she has a vagina. She has the rare genetic condition "Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome." You see, human embryos default to becoming female in the absence of signals from a Y chromosome. In utero and puberty these signals are carried by male hormones, aka. androgens, the most well-known being testosterone. In complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, the receptors for androgens are defective so the signal can't "plug in" and the body and mind continue to develop in the default female setting. The result is a person completely physically and mentally female from the outside, but lacks a uterus and has undescended testicles instead of ovaries. The lack of androgen receptors also has the side effect of a complete lack of underarm or pubic hair because normal females have some androgen activity.
Not all people are lucky enough to have their bodies completely match up with their brains, there are also people with partial androgen insensitivity syndrome who end up with various half and half combinations, like Bailey Jay who looks completely female without hormones (the boobs are implants) but has male genitalia:
No amount of therapy is going to change Bailey Jay's androgen receptors into a functional shape. |
