Psychological identity

Theories of the known which are described by different physical ideas may be equivalent in all their predictions, and are hence scientifically indistinguishable. However, they are not psychologically identical when trying to move from that base into the unknown. For different views suggest different kinds of modifications which might be made, and hence are not equivalent in the hypotheses one generates from them in one s attempt to understand what is not yet understood. 

Marcia is one of about 10,000 American male-to-female transsexuals.1 The number of parallel female-to-male transsexuals in the United States is much less, about 3000 in the American population.2 Not all transsexuals choose to undergo surgery to make a complete genital transition.

Here, individual concerns are paramount, and the most immediate response must be a humane one.
