   Actually, there are four types of "Trans" that I know of, two of them   
   immutable and with little to no introspection.   
      
   There's what was called Gender Identity Disorder, or G.I.D., and it   
   starts at a VERY young age. Absent early intervention, it should be   
   considered immutable. Another type of "Trans" would be schizophrenics.   
      
   Growing up, I can't say I paid much attention to such issues but like   
   most people I was exposed to it in the media -- talk shows, printed   
   pieces. And I recall several sources talking about the lengthy process   
   of receiving a "Sex Change Operation," as it was popularly called. One   
   of the causes of the delay was screening for schizophrenia. No, not   
   because they hated them or anything, but because schizophrenics are   
   known to flip back & forth. Something as simple as a change in   
   medication could result in a change in gender identity. And then   
   there's the example of the "Intersexed" or what we used to call XXY.   
      
   You know that woman have two x chromosomes and a male has an x and a y.   
   So, yes, an "Intersexed" person (XXY) has the sex chromosomes of both   
   the male and the female. I don't know about today but certainly, not   
   too long ago, as a rule they never screened for this at birth. So a   
   child could be identified as one gender only to get older and identity   
   as the other. And this is without the complication of ambiguous   
   genitalia!   
      
   Did you know there are U.N. resolutions BANNING surgery to "Correct"   
   ambiguous genitalia? Because let's say a child is born with both a   
   penis and a vagina. And they decide that the child will be raised as   
   a girl and   goes the penis. Good intentions but what if   
   that child grows up to identify as a boy? You can't just glue the   
   penis back on!   
      
            ...of course the divisive narrative doesn't allow us to   
   acknowledge these things. Think about it:  We can't medically   
   intervene in the case of ambiguous genitalia on children, it's way   
   to harmful, but you're a monster if you believe it wrong to   
   medically intervene in the case of a perfectly normal body?   
      
   In both cases, wait until they're adults...   
      
   There is one more type of "Trans" that I am aware of, and you can   
   do the Google on this if you want:  Socially Acquired.   
      
   Yes, there are "Trans" people, "Trans" children whose identity is   
   socially acquired. Some associate this with autism -- children on   
   the autism spectrum -- and others associate it with homosexuality.   
   Meaning, they're gay and lesbian and somehow extrapolate that into   
   being "Trans." Ironically it's rather homophobic!  "Men like   
   woman, I like woman so I'm a man!"   
      
   Again, do the Google.   
      
   The problem here is that, in the case of the socially acquired   
   group, being "Trans" is a choice. It's not like growing up with   
   G.I.D. or growing up gay or lesbian. It's not even like   
   schizophrenia, where the "Trans" identity can change but there is   
   no choice involved, no soul searching.   
      
   NOTE:  The identity in schizophrenics can result in soul searching,   
   your introspection, but it never results from it. This is very   
   different from the "Socially Acquired" trans kids.   
      
   So, interesting but what does this tell us about human evolution?   
      
   Well it doesn't tell us HOW we evolved but it does tell us how   
   variable we are today. Schizophrenia has a genetic link, but it's   
   also linked to trauma... there was certainly "Trauma" a thousand   
   years ago, and 80 thousand years ago and even a million years ago.   
   So how did this impact us?   
      
   Of course, once civilization emerged I don't think it had much   
   impact. In a lot of cultures women never had much of a choice,   
   so regardless of their identity and sexual orientation they were   
   going to be baby factories. And if you can socially acquire a   
   "Trans" identity, what if you were socialized within a society   
   that valued producing children, particularly sons?   
      
   Yes, having sons is an import "Accomplishment" in many societies   
   even today, even in our enlightened times...   
      
   So, even if you were born gay or trans you were probably duty   
   bound to knock out some puppies....   
      
   I guess what I'm saying is sexual identity and attractions were   
   probably not much of a factor, at least not since the advent of   
   human SOCIETIES.   
      
   NOTE II:  I am hesitant to use the word "Culture" because   
   WokeTardia has co opted it. It's even applied to animals today,   
   so "Culture" may have a lot of confusing and WrONG   
   connotations. But if you can focus exclusively on human   
   culture, and what it means to us, then it certainly existed   
   prior to the advent of civilization, and undoubtedly resulted   
   in behavioral pressures & identities as well.
