@kaydee my dear, your comments are always, always so impressive! They are like evaluative reviews of my posts :D It just makes me so happy. Thank you!

Well, it seems like after all we share the same queries regarding Camille and the certainty children her age appear to have regarding their own sexuality. Even though there is research that indicates that the transgender brain present some differences, the MRIs taken in these studies were those of adult transgenders. The issue with this is that, as you know, an adult brain has been highly influenced and therefore shaped by the individual's experiences and behaviour! Therefore, it would be impossible to propose, accoring to such findings, that they are born like that.

The question then still remains, and until we find the answer for it (if there is one) we can use the understanding that we have managed to obtain so far to fight discrimination and bullying. After all, it is well-established now that who we become in life is not a result of our biology only, but rather a combination of biological, sociological and psychological factors :)

All the best to you always !!
