Transgender : becoming your opposite sex twin?

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?

Healing (17) Being female in a male kind of way

The biology of being a woman is about far more than just giving birth and rearing children. Women are essential for holding communities together; socialising the children and caring for the sick, old or weak. Women are sociable, talkative and enjoy being in a group.

With other women, the female uses feminine energy for negotiation of space, emotional support, caring for children and improving the home environment. With men, female energy is used to foster in the male a sense of his own dominance in the group and to ensure that he provides and cares for her adequately, in return for which her sexual favours are made available, from time to time.

A woman is a natural behavioural psychologist, placing reward and punishment in just the right places to achieve exactly what she wants. There is no need for her to shout or rant, all she has to do is wait for the right moment.
