Transgender
People live in this world come from different background and culture. Social
process in their live sometimes shaping their own gender identity which until now
they cope and make a diverse community, representing all racial and eth
nic backgrounds, as well as faith background. Transgender is the one of the most
popular community which create many complaints about their living. Harassment
and even discrimination sometimes put out their step which make them ended in
self destruction. So, why would people want to be a Trans even thought they have
to spend their entire life above society bad stereotype. Transgender happens
because of three reason, that are transexual brain, their body genetics, and parents
rearing.

In This case, transexual brain is the most highly impact. It could be seen from the
slightly different in their structure, although there is tremendous individual
variability. Several studies have looked for signs that transgender people have
brains more similar to their experienced gender. Spanish investigators led by
psychobiologist Antonio Guillamon of the National Distance Education
University in Madrid used MRI to examine the brains of 24 female-to-males and
18 male-to-females both before and after treatment with cross-sex hormones.
Their results, published in 2013, showed that male-to-female subjects tended to
have thinner cortical regions in the right hemisphere, which is characteristic of a
female brain. Guillamon says. “It is simplistic to say that a female-to-male
transgender person is a female trapped in a male body. It's not because they have a
male brain but a transsexual brain.”

In addition, genetic plays a critical role in the forming of primary and secondary
sex characteristic. A 2008 study compared 112 male-to-female transsexuals
mostly already undergoing hormone treatment, with 258 cisgender male controls.
Male-to-female transsexuals were more likely than cisgender males to have a
longer version of a receptor gene for the sex hormone androgen or testosterone,
which reduced its effectiveness at binding testosterone. The research suggests
reduced androgen and androgen signaling contributes to the female gender
identity of male-to-female transsexuals. The authors say that a decrease in
testosterone levels in the brain during development might prevent complete
masculinization of the brain in male-to-female transsexuals and thereby cause a
more feminized brain and a female gender identity.

Moreover, gender of rearing is the gender in which Parents rear a child.

Transgender refers to the development of a gender identity which is different with
gender of rearing and genital anatomy. In 2015, the American Academy of
Pediatrics released a webinar series on gender. In the first lecture Dr. Sherer
explains that parents' influence through punishment and reward of behavior can
influence gender expression but not gender identity. For example, a Canadian man
named Davied Reimer born biologically male but reassigned as a girl and raised
female following medical advice and intervention after his penis was accidentally
destroyed during a botched circumcision in his childhood. This gender expression
could built a transexualism which is a kind of emotional disorder caused by
psychological and environmental factors and personality conflict.

In conclusion, the importance of each cause of transgender can be debated, but

the fact is, we can’t resist these there main factors which make this ‘has been viral
topic’ happens in some people’s body; transexual brain, body genetics, and
environmental factors, such as rearing. One merely possible solution is indeed in
this kind of gender issue. Provide emotional support for the transgender and
gender non-conforming people you know, especially when they are struggling
because of rejection from family members and friends, or struggling because of
discrimination out in the world. As more and more transgender people share their
stories, the public should understand the gender identity and expression builds in
each people instead of avoiding them.
