    We don't know enough about the brain to make definite statements, except to say that at the moment, substantial evidence is absent, etc. If GID can only happen in adulthood, that doesn't add up with evidence considering how most transsexual people identified with their brain-gender well before adulthood.

      As a post operative transsexual, my lived experience was always being stereotypically drawn to the same things as my sisters. I always connected with the stereotypical feminine things. Fashion, hygienic things like hair removal, hair length, and style. I gravitated towards feelings and compassion towards others. My inner thoughts drew me to thoughts of physically having female anatomy at around age 9 or 10 years old even in an extremely masculine household. I always knew one day I would transition physically to female anatomy, and I
      did. After that, I simply have lived in that experience. Quietly and fully in a females world without any agenda. I wish to left alone and to live out my days with my fully informed husband.
