Gender identity

Transsexuality or transgenderism is becoming an increasingly discussed topic. But there is still some misunderstanding about this subject. The difference is that transsexual people are changing their gentials actually. On the otherhand transgenders has only the feelings of being a man or woman or something between in. They don't do operations.

In a new study researchers has found gender identity depends on how the brain networks is structured. The researchers found significant differences in the structure of the brain connections between male and female control participants. They also discovered that the transsexual participant's has other brain connections than male and female participants. Gender identity can also be identified by biological sex, sex hormones and sexual orientation, that means not only by pshycial appearances.

In my opinion transsexuality and transgenderism will be more acceptable by society if they know the facts about this subject. Fortunately, it's already become a more accepted thing, but I think most people have still no idea what transsexuality or transgenderism comes from. They judging only on physical appearances. So the results of the research should make it clearer for them.
