"In this book, a Princeton University-trained physiological psychologist explores
dozens of theories about what may spur transsexual and transgender (TSTG) thinking,
exposes the myths of fetishism, homosexuality, prenatal hormones, or child rearing
as causes, and explains the two causes that are supported by current science. Covering
a breadth of topics that include neuroanatomy, choice, psychodynamics, and transsexual
transition, author Thomas E. Bevan, PhD, synthesizes the pertinent research regarding
transsexualism and transgenderism across 22 scientific disciplines. The book covers
various gender systems from antiquity to historical and contemporary cultures that
support the biological basis of transsexualism and transgenderism, addresses human
development from the time prior to conception through adulthood and potential transsexual
transition, and corrects common myths and assumptions about TSTG individuals, such
as that crossdressing is basically motivated by a desire for sexual arousal. The book
also includes sections that cite definitions of key terms and identify related reading,
organizations for support, and current TSTG events worldwide." -- Publisher's description
