The existence of transsexuality is beyond dispute, as evidenced by the large absolute numbers of people who are hormonally reconstituted, surgically corrected, and successfully transitioned into society.

Gender theorists obfuscate, blog posters dispute, and tradition-bound academic scientists dither in career-driven timidity. Nonetheless, research into the causes of the transsexual birth condition has moved beyond simplistic behavioral analysis, which often misconceives it as sexual behavior. The best among us keep an open mind and pioneer new tools to account for data that does not yield to easy off the shelf explanations.
