Re: The Transexual Phenomenon
Small amount of research, nothing big time or anything. Mostly just observing and listening and seeing what I see. Which at some point recently made me start to wonder how so much of this can be happening now (or what I thought was now, compared with earlier) and thinking something has to be up.
I guess I was sort of wondering, thinking it could be environmental changes, chemicals we are exposed too, so on. But I have no real clue obviously.

Re: The Transexual Phenomenon
i can see this being true for someone (especially those involved in the sex industry) but not others.
there are a great number of transsexual women who aren't in the public light slowly and painfully transitioning. i don't believe they do it just because they can.
and then there are those who find it easier (and possibly more financially beneficial) to assume a different identity.
as to why there are more transsexuals "coming out"? there are just more people in the world.

Re: The Transexual Phenomenon
hormones in the food and BPA
but seriously, besides us being tampered with our souls are androgynous and it seems that a lot of us have the issue of not being what we were labelled as from birth. I know I'm one. I'm more Pansexual or as I say "try"sexual
too much french fries, not enough shakes...

Re: The Transexual Phenomenon
Here are two good studies that you may want to read if you are truly are interested in this:
http://www.newscientist.com/article/...rain-scan.html
http://jcem.endojournals.org/content/85/5/2034.full
I believe a possible reason for what you labeled "a transexual phenomonon" is that in recent years the medical community has been more inclined to support the transition of individuals rather than label them with mental disorders as was common place in prior years. The reason for the shift in treatment, according to the studies I linked, is based on recent medical research on the brain structures of transgender individuals showing that some transgender individuals have the brain structures that resemble their desired sex even before hormone treatment. Additionally, there are more possible causes for gender dysphoria than previously understood by the medical community stemming from genetic reasons and prenatal exposure to hormones, as well as many other psychological and behavioral factors.
In addition, even though we are not totally accepting of transgender individuals in our society, I believe we are evolving into a more accepting/tolerant society which IMHO is also a factor that may make it a little less difficult to start transitioning.
