Cure
From Susan's Place Transgender Wiki
Although many aspects of transgenderism are deemed medical conditions, there are no cures, as such. Further to that, a large number of transgendered people do not want a cure that forces them to live as the assigned birth gender.
There is, however, medical treatment that is possible and available.

[edit] Treatment for Transsexuals
An index of treatments for Transsexuals is available here
[edit] Treatment for Intersexed People
Many intersexed people are treated (usually via surgical operation) during infancy. In adult life similar choices to Transsexuals exist (i.e. Gender reassignment surgery).
[edit] Treatment for Cross-dressers
Therapy is the only currently recognised treatment for cross-dressers (who do not subsequently go on to transition). It is likely that demand for treatment among cross-dressers is very limited - although often socially unacceptable cross-dressing tends to be harmless.
Although aversion therapy has been used on cross-dressers in the past this author lacks the medical knowledge to report on its effectiveness. By definition it is however an unpleasant experience.
[edit] Treatment for other Transgendered People
Other members of the Transgender community are limited to the treatments mentioned above.
