I'm not sure why your brain jumped to that particular train of thought in response to my post, nor that what you're saying is necessarily even true.

Transexuality is otherwise something that HAS to happen at birth, where you get an abnormal combination of X and Y chromosomes, I believe.
You believe wrong. At least in respect to chromosomes. It may very well be something which happens at birth.

Quote:
Possible combinations are, I believe, XXY, XYY, YY (maybe?), and even rarer, XXYY. You can't modify your own chromosomes, so you're either trans at birth or you're not--there's not much debate there, hopefully.
Chromosomal variation is only one of a number of potential causes for transsexuality. In fact it might not even be a cause, but simply something seen in accompaniment with it. Or it mighty even be that chromosomal variation rarely has to do with transsexuality in the conventional sense; individuals with inter sexed physicality often have a more fluid sexuality than others. At least if I can trust my source on that, but given that the concept of sexual fluidity hails back to a time when psychoanalysis was the dominant theory of human consciousness and the more drastic suggestions of the theory in this area have since been disproven, that may not be the case.

There was a study done in dissecting brains which suggested that there's something in brain physicality, specifically in the hypothalamus which corresponds to sexual identity, but the study hasn't been recreated to my knowledge.

True, that was my mistake. I hope my message was still gotten across, at least.
Somewhat. It's good to start with some level of understanding even in the most general sense as long as you try to refine it.
