Did anyone see Oprah today?
Now this was a fascinating Oprah show. 3 pairs Identical twins and one twin each had a sex change. 2 went from woman to men and one went from man to woman. They are doing studies to see what in the brain(genes or environmental) could make this happen.

3. Possibly to help others out there.
They may want to reach out to people who are suffering from the same kind of pain, doubt and torment they underwent.

6. I agree with left is Write
It's no different than any of thousands of Oprah's shows over the years. This must be very lonely and most families don't make it easier. I actually understand this better than homosexuality. Being Gay can be attributed to nature of nurture....not this is absolutely nature created at time of conception or in the womb while mom was carrying. Are you old enough to Remember christine Jorgensen?

4. It is most likely
an enviromental or stress based effect on the mother during gestation. Resulting in a brain wired contrary to their genetic gender designation.
