Transsexuality , variant of gender identity in which the affected person believes that he or she should belong to the opposite sex . The transsexual male, for example, was born with normal female genitalia and other secondary characteristics of the feminine sex; very early in life, however, he identified with men and behaved in a manner appropriate to the male sex. His sexual orientation is generally one of attraction to other females.
With the development of successful surgical techniques and hormone therapy , several thousand transsexuals, male and female, have undergone a permanent gender reassignment. Although both male and female transsexuals exist, the male-to-female operation is more common because the genital reconstruction is more satisfactory. The male-to-female transsexual’s penis and testes are removed, and an artificial vagina is created; breast implants may be inserted, although some breast development usually is promoted with the use of feminizing hormones. Female-to-male transsexuals may undergo mastectomy and hormone treatments to produce the male secondary sexual characteristics, but attempts to create an artificial penis have not been particularly satisfactory.
