Over 60 years of medical research regarding Transsexualism (modern HBS) specify that there is NO evidence whatsoever that any psychological or environmental factors cause Transsexualism-HBS. All of the medical research done to date indicates conclusively that physiological (neurological, genetic)
factors are the sole cause of Transsexualism-HBS. -Dr Henk Asscheman, MD, PhD

"Transsexualism (HBS) is now regarded by the world's
leading experts in the field as another of the many biological variations that occur in human sexual formation -an intersex
condition- where the sex indicated by the phenotype and genotype is opposite the morphological sex of the brain. People
with the condition of transsexualism (HBS) are therefore born with both male and female characteristics and, like many others
with atypical sexual development, seek rehabilitation of their phenotype and endocrinology to accord with their dominant sexual
identity; an identity which is determined by the structure of the brain. Transsexualism (HBS) is about
being a particular sex, not doing it. It is also about recognising gender norms, not challenging them." -Karen
Gurney & Eithne
Mills. 2005. Murdoch University Electronic Journal of Law, Vol
12, No #1 & #2
"There should be no escape for medical and legal authorities that
these definitions ought to be corrected and updated when new information becomes available, particularly when our outdated
definitions bring suffering to some of our fellow human beings." - Professor
Louis Gooren, MD. 2004, regarding current terminologies still in use for Harry Benjamin's Syndrome (old Transsexualism).
