    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Linguistics
    • Gender Studies

    Background:

    • Understanding gender identity and expression is crucial in psychological research.
    • Vocabulary and language use can reflect underlying cognitive and psychological characteristics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate potential gender-related differences in vocabulary among male transsexual individuals.
    • To compare the linguistic patterns of male transsexuals with those of cisgender males.

    Main Methods:

    • Administration of gender-discriminating vocabulary tests to 53 male transsexuals.
    • Utilized tests including the Slater Selective Vocabulary Test, Cohen's factors, and the Terman-Miles Attitude Interest Analysis Test (M-F).
    • Interpreted results in comparison to normal control groups.

    Main Results:

    • The Slater Selective Vocabulary Test, Cohen's factors, and Terman-Miles (M-F) test indicated a higher degree of feminization in male transsexuals compared to controls.
    • The Wechsler-Bellevue Vocabulary Test and Wechsler M-F Test yielded less clear results regarding feminization trends.

    Conclusions:

    • Male transsexuals demonstrate a vocabulary that differs from cisgender males, showing a tendency towards feminization.
    • Specific vocabulary tests can reveal subtle gender-related linguistic differences.
