The whole "born in the wrong body" thing is precisely that. It is a "mental" instinct but only in exactly the same way as straight and gay, asexual, bisexual etc people grow up, develop and mature, knowing who they do and do not find attractive. That feeling that a straight person feels about the prospect of falling in love with somebody of the same gender is, I presume, the precise same feeling that someone who needs to change their sex feels - an imovable instinct, the way their brain is constructed.

OK, fair enough. Can you answer the question about what 'living as a woman' or 'living as a man' is. Without any 'wearing dresses' 'being soft and emotional' or any other attributes that society deems to be 'male' or 'female'?
