To understand why this happens, one would need to know what exactly is transgender and transsexual, what are the causes of transgenderism and the first signs of transgender. transgender. This phenomenon has existed for a very long time and, due to great misunderstanding, there is great confusion when confronted with it.

The United States has medicalized transgender as a disorder where they face transsexualism. This act of diagnosing transsexualism as a disorder is also dangerous because it would make the child feel like an abnormality. What some parents have recommended to people who have transgender children is to simply let them accept it and help them be happy with who they are. Parents say to do this because the child would feel depression and face problems developing in the future.

They hope their parents will understand them and treat them like the gender they so desperately want to be..
