You don't, and you can't. They are the only ones who can know.NoThese people who are born with birth defects have many other physical problems and anomalies. They are not "transgendered" people.
Given your vast experience as a medical assistant, could you determine from looking at a transgender person if they were born a hermaphrodite?
No one can just look at a person and tell
However, the instance of Hermaphroditism is so small that special allotments can be made for such individuals if the need arises.
But for someone transgenderism is different. For instance, how do we know if the person is really transgendered?
And yes, they could be wrong.
Of course, if you suffer from a mental illness, such as body dysmorphic syndrome, you can be treated in other ways besides life changing and dangerous surgeries and hormones.
