Homosexuality has genetic factors which can be seen in the correlation between same sex relationships and left handedness, as well as testosterone exposure in the womb - aka why homosexuals often have index fingers longer than their ring fingers - but with trans people of either gender (aside from Bruce Jenner), they're rarely regular looking individuals pre-bodymod.

Is it genetic, social, psychological, cultural, a mix?

Serious answers please, there's nowhere else to talk about this shit intelligently.

I don't understand how anyone can "feel like they are a woman." How do you know what it feels like to be someone else?

Whenever you ask for more details, the majority of these men just want to look "pretty" and "sexy" like the women they desire IRL or in media. But as soon as they put on a dress, they get labeled as "transgender" and often get addicted to the feeling of being "sexy" and "special."

They need help breaking the addiction and realizing that there's nothing special about putting on a dress and makeup. Some realize this years later, when life isn't magically better and the endorphin rush from wearing women's clothing is gone.

How do people feel like they are a fruit or some other ridiculous thing. Its mental illness. Personally i think it is possible to "feel like a woman" but i also think its incredibly rare and most of these people are enacting some kind of fetish without using enough introspection to figure out what is happening.

And it seems like either people embrace their fetish or shun them for it. It starts young, and I don't think parents know how to deal with it effectively. A therapist or psychiatrist will probably only encourage it, and never get to the actual problem.

Indeed. Theres no healthy answer provided. Which is, of course, by design.
