Transsexualism and anatomic sex ratio reversal in Poland
1Department of Sexology, Medical Academy, Krakow, Poland.
Abstract:
Transsexualism has been described in numerous papers as a condition appearing, on the average, four times as often with somatic males than with somatic females. Against this background we consider the situation in Poland, where, during three consecutive observation cycles over 6 years, the results obtained were reversed. Among our transsexuals the ratio was 5.5:1, with the majority being somatic females.
