Pesquisas que apontam para evidências biológicas da transexualidade.

Alguns trechos dos artigos nos links abaixo são especialmente esclarecedores.
Evidentemente, há mais estudos apontando para esta direção e só uma pesquisa mais aprofundada poderá cobrir a maior parte deles. Aqui são dadas apenas algumas sugestões.

"...This paper represents the first comprehensive review of the scientific evidence that gender identity is a biological phenomenon," explains corresponding author Joshua D. Safer, MD, FACP. "As such it provides one of the most convincing arguments to date for all medical providers to gain the transgender medicine skills necessary to provide good care for these individuals," he added. ..."

"Imaging the Transgender Brain"

"...Except, that is, for one area, the putamen, a deep brain structure that forms part of the basal ganglia – known for its wide range of functions and connections to the frontal lobes and action control areas.

Because we know so little about the neuroscience of self-image and gender-identity it’s almost impossible to draw any conclusions for the fact that this specific area seems more ‘feminine’, or that the majority of the other areas seem more ‘masculine’ in terms of size.


What this study does do, however, is add to the increasing evidence that there are some detectable neurological differences in the brains of transgendered people. We’re just not in a position to say much about the significance of this yet. ..."
