Transgender people: Health at the margins of society
Recognising the needs of gender-variant children and their parents
Gender variance confronts widely held assumptions that children born as males will act like 'boys' and children born as females will act like 'girls'. This imposed binary has the effect of perpetuating negativity towards people who express themselves with gendered variations in attire, behaviour or preferences. Despite the existence of gender-variant individuals in every culture and throughout time, many people are unaware that diversity in gende…
Transsexuality Among Twins: Identity Concordance, Transition, Rearing, and Orientation
The relative contributions of genetic and environmental factors to the development of gender identity have been debated. Twins were studied that are concordant or discordant for gender identity status in order to provide clarification of this issue. An extensive library search yielded reports of 27 male and 16 female sets concordant or discordant for transsexuality. An Internet bulletin board search and clinical contact requests for participants …

Parents of children with gender-variant behavior, while doing their best to handle their child's preferences and needs, are forced to contend with societal bias and assumptions that allow their children to be marginalized. This exploratory investigation aims to provide a basis for supporting all children with gender variance and their parents by identifying their needs. An Internet survey was designed to elicit the experiences of parents with gen…

Pornography and Sex Crimes in the Czech Republic
Pornography continues to be a contentious matter with those on the one side arguing it detrimental to society while others argue it is pleasurable to many and a feature of free speech. The advent of the Internet with the ready availability of sexually explicit materials thereon particularly has seemed to raise questions of its influence. Following the effects of a new law in the Czech Republic that allowed pornography to a society previously havi…
Dichotic Listening, Handedness, Brain Organization, and Transsexuality
This study investigated the functional brain organization of 68 male-to-female (MtF) transwomen and 26 female-to-male (FtM) transmen by comparing their performance with 36 typical male and 28 typical female controls on two indicators of cerebral lateralization: dichotic listening and handedness. A sex-differentiating dichotic test and a handedness questionnaire were administered. It was hypothesized that the MtF participants’ dichotic performance…

Biased-Interaction Theory of Psychosexual Development: “How Does One Know if One is Male or Female?”
IV. Sex and Gender: Same or Different
Along the primrose path of childhood children learn something fundamental. At a most basic level they incorporate that Dads and Moms are designations with very different implications. Up front, it is accepted that Dads are men and Moms are women; that Dads and Moms do different things at home and elsewhere. Simultaneously children learn that boys play rough and girls play nice and they usually like to do different things. Then kids learn that boy…

Sex Reassignment at Birth: Long-term Review and Clinical Implications
This article is a long-term follow-up to a classic case reported in pediatric, psychiatric, and sexological literature. The penis of an XY individual was accidentally ablated and he was subsequently raised as a female. Initially this individual was described as developing into a normally functioning female. The individual, however, was later found to reject this sex of rearing, switched at puberty to living as a male, and has successfully lived a…
Sexual identity and sexual orientation in children with traumatized or ambiguous genitalia
It has long been proposed that the development of sexual orientation and sexual identity is due to an interaction of both constitutional and social forces (Diamond, 1965). A great deal of evidence has been accruing that nature sets a predisposition for these sexual developments and within such limits the environment works. Cases are presented in which individuals, because of trauma to their genitals or because their genitals are ambiguous, have b…

Sexuality, birth control and abortion: A decision-making sequence
A matched group of women who conceived during a 2-month period in 1971 was used to trace some parameters involved in their decision to carry their pregnancies to term or to seek an abortion. Several specific indices to the decision were considered: whether coitus was anticipated; whether the pregnancy was planned; whether birth control methods were used; and how the pregnancy ended. The effects of age, marital status, religion, reasons for the ab…
