    Background:

    • Explores a case of a biological male diagnosed with transsexualism.
    • The individual lived as a female for an extended period.
    • The case involves a decision to return to the original male gender role.

    Observation:

    • Genital surgery was imminent but canceled due to hospital policy changes.
