    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Psychiatry
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Transsexualism, a complex psycho-behavioral condition, involves gender dysphoria and a desire to live as a gender different from one's assigned sex.
    • Understanding the biological underpinnings of transsexualism is crucial for comprehensive patient care.

    Observation:

    • This study investigated ten individuals diagnosed with transsexualism.
    • All participants exhibited gonadal lesions, alterations in physical characteristics (morphotype), and minor hormonal irregularities.

    Findings:

    • A significant association was observed between gonadal lesions and the psycho-behavioral aspects of transsexualism.
    • These findings suggest that gonadal abnormalities may play a role in the development of gender dysphoria.

    Implications:

    • Transsexualism could be understood as a disorder affecting the entire process of post-gonadal sexualization.
    • Further research into the interplay between genetic, hormonal, and developmental factors in sexual differentiation is warranted.
