How deep congenital sex-inversion roots may be gathered from the fact that the pleasure-dream of the male Urning has to do with male persons, and of the female with females.

These are people who, even at birth, had a craving for the opposite sex. It is possible that they were switched at birth or their parents did not know what to do with them.
