Transsexuality – What is it ?

Transsexuality – What is it and why should we be aware of it?

Transsexuality is a condition in which a person identifies as belonging to the opposite sex. The term is often used for people who have had surgery and hormone treatments to alter their physical appearance to align with their gender identity, but not all trans people undergo these procedures.

A transsexual person can be heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual or asexual. Transsexuals are usually diagnosed by psychiatrists or psychologists and then given medical advice and/or treatment.

A brief understanding of the different types of transsexuality

Transsexuality is a term used to describe people who experience a mismatch between their sex assigned at birth and their gender identity. There are three different types of transsexuality:

1) Female-to-Male Transsexuals: Women who experience distress because they feel male or because society expects them to be male. They may take hormones and undergo surgery to alter their physical appearance and bring it closer to the male side of the spectrum.

2) Male-Female Transsexuals: Men who feel like women, or society expects them to be women. They may take hormones and undergo surgery to alter their physical appearance and bring it closer to the female side of the spectrum.
