Doing almost anything can result in death. There are plenty more people who have had a sex change an came out happy than people who haven't. If they think it's worth that risk, more power to them.

I think this matter is a product of environment above anything else. Notice how one of our users quoted a study where scientists can predict at age 5 with 90% accuracy? Why not at age one? Because the mind is still developing and they're environment, at this period of life, will have the most significant impact on their overall development moving forward. You want to prove its not a product of environment? Let's see a study that has >50% accuracy at birth. Let's see what the cat scans tell us then.

with that being said, I do not blame, condone, or dismiss anyone based on how they perceive themselves. We work with what we got

In my personal opinion. Perhaps a fact. It is a psychological disorder. Man needs to be raised like a man and go to cafe with dad and be a man that he is. Problem is in the modern climate kids get raised by babysitters and mainly join a female circle. So man are thought to be like females. Father nowadays has no time. Momma is busy smartphoning. Plus the fact that the media is womanising the man. And it is promoted intensively. I dont fall for that. But i think this combo creates a chaotic mind of male and female kids. Be what u r is the natural message. The media message and climate how you raise kids has changed. And in this unfortu'ate the arabs are better than us. They make kids. They raise them acccordingly. And they make more kids then us. In the long run we the west will become history. And the arabs wil triumph without war. It is my opinion. U dont have to agree

And I don't agree.

I could rant about your flawed logic in a wall of text, but I'll try to keep it very short.

That the west is currently "dieing out" is because families are not having as many children as 50 years ago, because there is something called birth control.

So that doesn't have anything to do with men not being raised like "men", whatever that is supposed to be.

Raised like man raised like women is the transgender topic
Birth rate is the demograph.

The west is distorted. And as arogant as we are. The fact is we are a dying breed. Arabs do 3 to 5 kids. We do one or none.

 It has nothibg to do with birth control. Its greed and selfishness. We want smartphones fast cars games. And any individual thing. No time for kids. People fear marriage for divorce and giving half of their property. The topic is complicated. 

My opinion is there would be a whole less transgenders if the kids are raised properly. Man be man. Woman be women

Humans have been greedy in the past, but they didn't have the tools to prevent a pregnancy. More divorces happen because women aren't as dependent on a man and his income anymore and put up with far less then they used to, because they had to.

Sure the topic is complicated, but I don't see men not being raised as men as the issue here.

Men are as horny as they've always been, and transgenders most possibly also existed for as long as mankind existed, eventhough I can't prove that. That these minorities are being noticed today has a lot to do with society opening up and accepting them to an improved degree.
In times (or places) when (where) people were (are) being "raised properly" transgenders would be (are) forced to live a lie, hide or be prosecuted or killed, so of course it would seem like there were less transgenders, but there weren't (aren't).

As with sexual orientation, sexual identity cannot be explained by hard science (see this for lots of thesis that went nowhere : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_transsexualism )

I guess you could look at psychology and sociology for an explanation about the mindset, mabe anthropology and looking into the societies that have a tradition of transvestism (lots of them, through theatre mostly).

History (yet another "soft" science) shows this mindset is not new : Georges Sand, born Amantine-Lucile-Aurore Dupin,  famous french novelist and one of Chopin's lover, was described as "dressing up like a man, walking like a man and speaking like a man".

I don't pretend to be an expert, but I'll offer my experience.

One Monday morning, one of my female colleagues shocked everyone by announcing that she'd changed her name legally, and that her name was "not the only thing that would be changing".

While we were all initially gobsmacked by this news, after thinking about it, none of us were surprised. She always wore a skirt to work to 'fit in', but her femininity pretty much ended there. I remember she would never go to our Christmas parties because you were expected to wear eveningwear, and she said she felt too uncomfortable wearing an evening dress. She talked and acted like a man. Her partner was female, but she didn't consider herself to be gay.

She had gender dysphoria - a medically recognised condition where there is a mismatch between biological gender and gender identity. There's no conclusive proof as to how gender dysphoria comes about, but in her case, it was something to do with her chromasomes.

Over the next 24 months, she dressed and lived like a man. She was prescribed hormone therapy. Her voice broke; she grew facial hair. A year into this therapy, she had a series of operations to remove her female organs and construct male ones. After 2 years, she was a man.

As someone who knew the person from beforehand and witnessed the transition from start to finish, I can honestly say that he had not changed one bit as a person. While all the physical change was going on, the personality was always the constant. As a female, he always seemed to be a bit of an oddball, a bit out of place. As a male, everything about who he was as a person seemed to make sense.
