-This is new to me I must say...
It has been shown that transsexual persons have a brain difference that, for instance, in a MTF transsexual, there is a certain area in their brains that is underdeveloped in females and MTFs but developed in males. And vice-versa.

Of course, this isn't true for all and a lot more study is needed but there may one day be a genetic test for a predisposition towards transsexualism or possibly even homosexuality.

I have the study somewhere...
