Yes I am! Having done a huge amount of research on the subject there are too many inconsistencies to support the general "born in the wrong body" assumption. One can only assume that research stopped in the 1950's, because there has been little objective research done ever since. The current evidence is exceptionally subjective and carried out in the main by transgendered people. Research into early childhood development prior to (the magic age ) 4 years of age would indicate an image realtionship with the main parent as being at the root of the delusional event that often arises in the late 30's to 40's. Males dominate this age group as most of the caring parents were their mothers.
Children that express gender maladaptation in their pre-teen period often do have a maladaptive body brain situation and these are possibly genuine transsexual candidates.
