If you're going to discount any possible psychological explanation for the perception of being "in the wrong body", I guess this is the best we'll do.

Are there any telltale signs, like a particular neurochemical being out of balance? I mean, can you imagine going through permanent surgery when just an appropriate medicine would have corrected the disturbing perception of being "trapped in the wrong body?"
