There is a push for more research into the causes of transgenderism. Some medical professionals lean towards it being psychiatric in nature. Some medical professionals believe it may have biological roots. And many feel that it may be a combination.
Jimbone is correct in that not all medical professionals agree when it comes to the causes of transgenderism and how to best treat it. There are differing opinions about it within the medical community and the general population, as is the case amongst the Mock members posting in this thread.
However, I don't believe that amongst a group of multi-disciplinary doctors collaborating in a room that any one of them would insist that all transgender-identifying individuals are lying about their self-identification being in conflict with, or extending beyond, their at-birth biological gender categorization.
I also don't believe that any credible medical professional would suggest that transgenderism should cease being recognized in the medical community, or cease being addressed with specific treatments as advocated by the American Medical Association.
Further, since it's an undisputed fact that a portion of the transgender population is not gay and has no desire to have sex change surgery, I would be shocked if any credible medical professional would suggest that those who identify as trans should all be forced into either L, G, or B categories and treated as a bunch of bullshitting, deceitful, self-loathing gays.
