It's important to recognise that sex and gender must be treated

(with apologies to Professor Milton Diamond)
David Skidmore’s article “Gender reassignment surgery does not help in our gender-divided society”,
demonstrates that being gay does not provide an understanding of the complex affairs of people born
with transsexualism. There is a gulf between us that he does not, or does not want to, comprehend.
In a recent Amicus Curiae brief it provided to the US Supreme Court, the Harry Benjamin International
Gender Dysphoria Association (comprising the world’s experts in the field of transsexualism) stated:
Transsexuals experience themselves as being of the opposite sex, despite having the biological
characteristics of one sex... The present findings of somatostatin neuronal sex differences in the BSTc
and its sex reversal in the transsexual brain clearly support the paradigm that in transsexuals sexual
differentiation of the brain and genitals may go into opposite directions and point to a neurobiological
basis of gender identity disorder.
