Trans people have always existed. In some cultures there are excepted gender categories for them.

I wonder if this is purely a homosapiens phenomenon, or if it's found in other mammalian species as well? I'm going to have to look into it.

Gender is a reflection of how society sees each of us. And how we'd like to be seen. To treat someone as a different gender to their biological sex then you'd have to understand what it complies in the first place.

Would you expect an ape to do that? Let's face it, there are so many people in this forum that cannot grasp the concept...
