In the case of an "infamous" association of mine who is an FtM, he had congenital adrenal hyperplasia, so the hormones were off from the beginning. Many of the FtMs and third-genders I know have PCOS or related conditions. I have PCOS and I can tell you that I am not the stereotypical female, I tend to be somewhat butch esp. if I'm just kickin' it around the house. I don't have the desire to change my gender but I don't feel female, either. I often feel like an androgynous alien. (No, not Ziggy Stardust. Or Siggy Stardust. Er, whatever.)
There's also the case of intersex which happens more often than people realize, babies born with both kinds of equipment.

It's a very, very complicated thing.
