Scientists try to solve the myth of transgendered humans through surgery which changes a man into a woman (or vice versa). And in the old days, they used to perform lobotomies with not much more than a vague hope that stirring a wire in the brain would help "fix" someone.

I really don't like the idea of surgery as a solution to a psychological state.

To be fair, in some cases involving clearly bizarre nervous system activity, doctors have been able to pinpoint a hypothetical trouble spot in the brain by means of slight electrical stimulation at various places until the bizarre activity reappeared. With the trouble spot identified, brain material could be removed at that precise location, usually without producing lasting harm and often alleviating the problem. This is not their grandfathers’ loop of wire (or worse, screwdriver) lobotomies.
