A Special Case of Gender-Identity Difficulty
Transsexualism
- The fact that the “other sex” happens to have the same genitals as they do makes it difficult to find a partner.
- Heterosexuals and homosexuals can generally find willing sex partners who match their orientations, but transsexuals most desired partners are likely to reject them for making such advances.
- Psychotherapy, without accompanying biological alterations, has generally been unsuccessful in helping transsexual adjust to their bodies.
