One can only assume that research stopped in the 1950's, because there has been little objective research done ever since.

Assuming is a dangerous thing to do. Objective research takes money and the only people who make any real money on transsexuals are surgeons and therapists.

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.

Let me see if I understand this. Children who have some sort of dillusional relationship or event with a primary caretaker, will manifest as transsexual in the late 30's and 40's? So males who feel as though they are in the wrong body feel this way because of a skewed relationship with the mother? Or in the case of females, with their father?

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
|
So if they express these feelings in the teen years, they are truely transsexual candidates and therefore deserve to be treated as such?
What of children who express gender identity issues almost from the time they can walk and talk? Or people who were raised in such an environment where things like this were not dicussed and it was not until they were older (say in ther 30's or 40's) that they felt safe enough to even express these feelings?
Much research needs to be done. That goes without saying. some of the research that has been done do conflict with some saying it is social, and some saying it is bilogical.
