Traditionally, individuals who are classed or who identify themselves as "transgender" or "transsexual" are said to possess a desire to become the opposite sex. However, many such individuals reject this categorization, insisting that they are in some meaningful sense a member of the opposite sex already. While acknowledging that this is not true by any genetic or anatomical definition, transgender individuals insist that such physical markers as sex chromosomes, or the possession of male or female reproductive organs and/or sexual characteristics, have nothing to do with whether a person truly is male or female; that it is a matter of personal identity or self-perception and thus not subject to biological reality. To this end, transgender individuals will frequently insist that they were "born in the wrong body" and that they are simply changing their outward appearance to reflect this inner truth.

Those who identify as transgender over the long term frequently assert that they have had feelings of gender confusion from the ages of 3-5, the period in which males and females typically begin to be socialized differently and to become aware of these categories. They further state that these feelings intensify significantly during puberty, and persist throughout their adult lives. Some seek to compensate by engaging in behavior that overly exaggerates the stereotypes associated with their sex (some "male-to-female" transsexuals, for example, previously took up hobbies such as bodybuilding, or joined the military). Many, however, experience feelings of failure and depression, and suicides or attempted suicides are not uncommon. The transgender movement strongly implies that this depressive state is the inevitable endpoint for all transgender persons, unless they are given the opportunity to live as the opposite sex; in this context, such behavior is represented as literally a matter of life and death. Although this is far from universally true, as many transgender individuals never do act on their desires, it has become part of the popular image surrounding transsexualism in recent years.
