I honestly believe transgenders are just extreme transvestites/tomboys that latch on to the idea and convince themselves they must be the opposite sex. Or are gay/lesbian but unconsciously rejecting their sexuality and seek an alternate option... being transgender.

Maybe an ignorant view. Maybe a wrong view. But its my opinion on what I know of it.

I've wondered that. Whether a lot of them are people who don't like the "gay" tag and so think they should be the opposite sex.

But I think the gender disorder can sometimes have nothing to do with their sexuality. I mean there was a woman in the paper's who was a straight woman but wanted to be a man, thus making her a gay man. It is confusing.

I still can't quite believe this 5 year old though. I mean one of my cousins went through a small phase of playing with dolls when he was 4 or 5. His mates always poke fun after they saw photos. But he's grown up, got married and had kids. What if they'd slapped a tag on him at 4 years of age? Just a disgrace, the parents should be ashamed.
