Transgender & OCD

Hypothesis (just a hypothesis!): being transgender is a kind of obsessive compulsive disorder.

This must be distinguished from a form of OCD in which the sufferer is caught up in repetitive suspicions that he or she is actually transgender. 

Under this hypothesis, the people who seek amputations "to feel whole" and transsexuals could both be explained.

This might also explain the obsessive characteristics of transsexualism.
