Most people, at some point in their life, feel out of place. Like they don’t belong. Perhaps they are alienated for the way they look, for where they live, their parent’s finances or really anything and everything. Every single person can probably detail a story of feeling left out or being bullied (often extensively). There are even individuals who feel like they identify themselves as the opposite sex.
The selection of genetics as an embryo develops into a baby is fascinating. Taking from the mother and father while developing a brain and genitalia. Sometimes this development does not match up, so what the brain thinks the body may not match up. This can lead to individuals who are born male identifying themselves more as female due to mental tendencies.
Transgender is not a cross dresser. A cross dresser is someone who wears the clothing typically associated with the other sex. A transgender individual is someone who is using hormone injections in order to alter their body (a woman taking testosterone injections will begin to grow more body hair and develop more pronounced muscles while a man taking estrogen shots will see the opposite effect).
