Proposed integrative concept of sexual identification disorders genesis is based on studies by many scientists and own data, considering multiformity and complexity of mechanisms of sex determination (from genetic to psychological and social).

A thorough collected data analysis served as a base for own concept, as well as a systemic approach based not only on the directly related to sexuality concept of brain sexual differentiation, sexual identification process and disotogeneic concept of psychosexual orientations disorders, but also on the evolutional biological theory of sexual dimorphism and on the etiological approaches having a valuable potential to discover logics and mechanisms of sexual identification disorders genesis.

Ontogeneic periods from conception to sexuality formation completion served as a core for the concept.

Unconditionally, it is impossible to exclude probable minor lesions on a genetic level or during formation and development of a fetus and brain sexual differentiation. But they cannot be proven having opportunities of the modern science. A genealogical analysis also does not exclude or confirm this, since the incidence of various inherited deviations in people with sexual identification disorders is not higher than in common population.

A certain role, as it can be seen from the study and which coincides with other authors’ opinions, could be assigned to different pathogeneic influences during gestation and labor in mothers of such patients. These influences are incapable to change physical sex determinants that cause sex itself, but they can serve as a base of the twisted perception by an individual of sociopsychological determinants that provide certain forms of sexual behavior.
