I believe it was my proposal essay that I speculated that a cause of transsexualism could be due to how one is brought up during their adolescent years. This was a long shot claim but when researching my topic, I came across a website which mentions my theory (http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A830413). It said that researchers hypothesized the same claim I had although they could not prove it “conclusively.” This means that if it was not conclusive, there were still signs that this could have been a factor; they never actually rejected the whole idea. They also compared the size of dead transsexuals’ brains to that of the “real” sex counterpart and could not find anything conclusive because of the lack of specimens to compare.
