What happens during the disease - transsexualism
Transsexualism is a gender identity disorder where an individual experiences a strong and persistent desire to be of a gender different from their assigned sex at birth. this can be caused by a variety of factors, such as biological, psychological, and social influences. biologically, differences in the hormones and structures of the brain may lead to a feeling of being trapped in the wrong body. psychologically, a person may have difficulty accepting their assigned gender due to a lack of gender identity formation or a negative self-image. socially, a person may be pressured to conform to gender norms or be exposed to gender stereotypes, leading to feelings of dysphoria. together, these factors can cause a person to experience a strong desire to transition to the gender they identify with.
