low testosterone you describe in that paragraph is not implicated as a cause of transgender behavior

What about low testosterone in utero (or high testosterone for f->m)?

What do you think the most probable cause of transgender behavior is?

I'm not sure about KaceyNow, I suspect transgender behavior is basically a culture bound syndrome.

Wikipedia lists a large amount of evidence for differences in genetics and brain volume. I know its possible that culture could cause changes in brain structure to some extent, but it can't influence genetics.

Given Wikipedia's editorial biases (and academia's publication biases) on these kinds of topics, it's almost certainly filtered evidence.
