This series of programmes about seven transgender people on Channel 4 has sparked an interesting debate.
No one knows why people want to change sex, but the Womb Twin Project seems to suggest that when opposite-sex twins develop in the womb and one dies before birth, the survivor may carry some of the opposite sex hormone that was once their twin's. Watch this and see what you think:
I am preparing some diagrams to explain this clearly, ready for my new book " A Healing Path for Womb Twin Survivors."
Let me know what you think of this idea. Does the transfer of hormones between dizygotic twins in the womb - which we know can happen - help to explain why people want to change sex?
When a twin dies before birth, the sole survivor needs help and understanding. Womb twin survivors are the sole survivors of a twin or multiple pregnancy. This group, 1 in 10 of the population, includes survivors of a stillbirth, miscarriage, abortion and a "vanishing twin" pregnancy. It is a story of a twin bond broken by death, leaving a lonely survivor.

Healing (16) Being male in a female kind of way
Evolution of sex differences
If we look at the last million years of evolution during which humans have lived as hunter-gatherers, the last eight thousand years or so which saw the first signs of civilisation were only a few minutes ago in terms of geological time. Men and women are still expressing in the way they live their lives the characteristics that have prevailed for millennia and have enabled the human species to thrive.
Regardless of the events of history and the rise of civilisation, male and female energy is still used according to the biological role of the man and the woman. The formula that works and has stood the test of time for many thousands of generations is this: the woman bears and raises the children, the man protects the woman and children from danger, fights battle on their behalf and is prepared to risk his life for the family. The woman is always busy in and near to the home with preparing food, teaching the children about society and keeping the home together. The man goes out from the home- often covering huge distances which he navigates with ease, and obtains food and goods to nourish and protect his family.
Whether you like it or not, this is the arrangement that works best in a family.
