For several years, Western societies have failed to offer adequate avenues for men to fully express and/or harness their effeminate side, and for women to fully express and/or harness their masculine side.
Hence, the need has always existed to compensate for this deficiency by taking on the persona of the opposite gender, i. e. permanently (or routinely) modifying one's physical appearance to conform to what is customary for that gender as defined by those inflexible social norms.
When there were only a few openly transgendered individuals, this was harder to do as there was more social pressure against crossdressing. Now, as it has become more accepted, the bottle containing this pent up psychological need has been uncapped.
But since this need exists in everyone, transgenderism will inevitably become the norm, and individuals doing it will no longer be labeled "LGBT."

You don't seem to have a clue as to what transsexuality is about.
In her defense, no one does.
Actually, I work with transsexuals and have a pretty good understanding of what it's about.
I'm a man, and I don't have an effeminate side. I never wore a dress, nor did I ever try on a bra. To me, tampons are icky, but tits are pretty. What does that make me?
Do share.
This has to be one of the stupidest and insulting posts to transsexuals I've seen in quite some time. You don't seem to have a clue as to what transsexuality is about.
A transsexual is a person in which the sex-related structures of the brain that define gender identity are exactly opposite the physical sex organs of the body. Put even more simply, a transsexual is a mind that is literally, physically, trapped in a body of the opposite sex.
What
common
The Anima is the personification of all feminine psychological tendencies within a man, the archetypal feminine symbolism within a man's unconscious. The Animus is the personification of all masculine psychological tendencies within a woman, the archetypal masculine symbolism within a woman's unconscious.
Anima/Animus
The anima and animus can be identified as the totality of the unconscious feminine psychological qualities that a man possesses or the masculine ones possessed by a woman, respectively. It is an archetype of the collective unconscious and not an aggregate of father or mother, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, or teachers, though these aspects of the personal unconscious can influence the person for good or ill.

That is not what one poster thinks. But his answers are no better than anyones elses. Remember most doctors think it is a mental disorder.
Really? You can show that most doctors think this, significantly more than 50%?
The pro-transgender advocates do not want to know, said McHugh, that studies show between 70% and 80% of children who express transgender feelings “spontaneously lose those feelings” over time. Also, for those who had sexual reassignment surgery, most said they were “satisfied” with the operation “but their subsequent psycho-social adjustments were no better than those who didn’t have the surgery.”
Here's your clue...
And the only way one's mind could perceive an incongruence between its body is if society attached artificial meanings to what being a biological man or woman entails, and there were clear, non-trivial distinctions in those meanings.
In the absence of those distinctions, the incongruence wouldn't exist, and therefore, there would be no need for transsexualism.
I recommend that you research the concept of socially constructed gender identities to learn more about the relationship between societal values/norms and transsexualism, instead of just listening to Caitlyn Jenner speeches.
You have posted information from ONE doctor, a doctor who's positions are not only biased, but have been debunked. Firstly, the 70%-80% figure is inaccurate. It's about 30% which is why, from an ethical standpoint, it is poor practice to give any minor HRT or perform SRS. Next, over 90% of people who have had SRS express satisfaction. There is also definitive evidence that their psychological adjustments are significantly improved. Don't listen to McHugh. He has an agenda and all of his information is from more than 25 years ago, completely outdated.
So your claim is false. You have no evidence whatsoever to support your claim. I am surprised.
