Serious questions for a novel

Continued...

Concerning the mind:
7- Is it possible to change the sexual orientation of an individual? To be more specific, from homosexual or straight to bisexual?
8- This one is weird as hell and I really don't want to explain it too much because it can give too much, so let's go for this: if a prepubescent individual is "transitioned" (Sorry don't have a better word), do you think it is possible to make them accept their new body? (Assume this person receives competent help to do so)
9- Another weird one, specially since I should be able to answer it, but I really don’t know how valid my own position is: How (un)desirable is for a straight man to have sex with a trasgender individual? Please asume that trasgender individual is an attractive woman.

Concerning History:
10- How old are hormone replacement therapies?
11- Do we have any records of how Transgender individuals were 100+, 200, etc. years ago?
12- Do we know of any ancient methods used by Transgender individuals?
13- Do we know of any famous (suspected or not) transgender individuals?

>1- Is it correct that the early the transition starts, the better the "results" are?
generally, yes. some people just have better genetics than others too.
>2- Assuming a well controlled and “perfect” transition without surgery, is it possible to achieve "indiscernible" results? (Think all the female physical characteristics outside of the reproductive organs and mammary glands)
yes. google kim petras for example
>3- Is it correct that the male reproductive organ may suffer from atrophy (or at least a severe erectile dysfunction) after a prolonged period of hormone treatment?
yeah this is almost certain
>4- Is it correct that hormone treatment comes with serious health hazards that may lower, considerably, the life expectancy of those that are under it? If that's the case, what are the common health issues knows?
not that i know of, although their probably isnt a lot of data out there.
>5- Is it correct that the current hormone treatments have varying degrees of success on the individual? (In some it may do wonders, in others... not so much)
yep. genetics.
>6- Is it correct that some hormone therapies may have serious, (near) instant health complications on some individuals?
not that i've heard of

Thank you for the answers, friend.

Oh well, I think I'll bump this later or try again tomorrow.

Ah, sorry for the blatant bump.

But I would love more help!

8. Do you mean a kid being transitioned despite not being transgender? That won't go well, look up David Reimer for a famous example. Most prominent detransitioners are people who were never trans to begin with, and suffered as a result of transitioning. Doing that will basically put you through what trans people go through when they're unable to transition.

Put very simply, everyone has a brain-sex. Trans people's brain-sex is at odds with their body-sex, which causes gender dysphoria (the distress/depression that is alleviated by transition).
A cis person (ie, a not-trans person) still has that brain-sex, it just aligns properly with their body-sex. So if you change their body-sex, they'll start to suffer similar distress to what trans people are born with, because the brain and body are forcibly unlinked.

Correct: transitioned individual that is not transgender.

I was asking for something I was reading concerning some infamous individuals with a low reputation among the trans communities (or at least some) and the studies of another not well liked but famous psychiatrist.

Anyway, the basic idea is that some individuals may "identify" themselves as transexuals while in reality they do not suffer from gender dysphoria and their motivations for a transition follow different routes than the ones known.

To expand this idea, the character in the novel would be "accommodated" to his new body in this way.

To be honest, this subject seems to be VERY sensitive and debated... and of course, with plenty of misinformation. (However, any additional info is more than welcome!)
