Nah, it's corrective surgery. We don't know what the cause is with 100% certainty, but there is strong evidence. When this woman dies, I'd be willing to lay a large wager on her BSTc being female in appearance.

Also, there's no evidence that transsexuals suffer more often from psychological disorders other than those directly related to their transsexualism.

Don't take this tract with me. I said I wouldn't have a problem with it myself, but others should understand where this feeling comes from. I do think this would be an issue with a highschool age kid because we all know what sexuality is like in highschool and this would be a MAJOR disruption to teaching.
In North America there have been three or four MTF teachers transition on the job, all at the high school level. One quit her job as an art teacher the following year due to stress, but was performing her job adequately at the time. Another transitioned in Canada a few years ago and continues to teach high school English, and one teacher recently did the same in . . . somewhere in the Northeast. It remains to be seen how her case will turn out.

There are others doing so quite quietly in stealth mode.

Several others have attempted transition and been fired, by far the most common reaction.
