Even though transgenderism may seem like a relatively new situation there is documentation from many cultures showing people in gender roles different than birth gender. In many of these early cultures this variance was seen as a blessing being one born of both the worlds of male and female, life and death. giving these individuals the ability to see more than one side of a situation. These people often held positions of medican men/women ,shamen and handlers of the dead.

The future of medical treatment may rest in gene therepy. Scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany and the Medical Research Council's National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) at Mill Hill, UK have discovered a specific gene located on a non-sex chromosome in female mice which if turned off causes cells in the ovaries to convert to cells normally found in the testes. If this line of research could be applied to humans the potental is there for male testes or female overies to self produce the hormone needed for feminization or masculization to occur
