Von Intergeschlechtlichkeit oder Varianten der Geschlechtsentwicklung (VdG) spricht man, wenn sich die geschlechtsspezifischen Merkmale des Körpers untypisch entwickeln. Im Rahmen der VdG können bei Sportler_innen erhöhte Testosteronspiegel vorliegen. Da Testosteron im Sport als leistungssteigernd angesehen wird, gilt für Athletinnen mit VdG aktuell ein Testosterongrenzwert von 5 nmol/l. Bei Überschreitung dieses Grenzwertes schreibt der Internat…

The participants with CAIS (n = 12) was older, showed a lower wish for a child and was less distressed about their infertility compared to participants with MRKHS (n = 49). Our data indicated an "indifferent" attit…
Health-related quality of life in transgender adolescents: Associations with body image and emotional and behavioral problems
Background: Transgender adolescents who apply for treatment often experience a marked increase in body-related distress when entering puberty, accompanied by internalizing problems and poor peer relations. Although adolescence is a time of considerable psychosocial and physical change, generally associated with a decline in health-related quality of life (HRQoL), research on HRQoL in transgender youth and possible predictors is sparse. This study…

The aim of this study was to compare body satisfaction with perceived appearance by others in various GD subgroups. Data collection was part of the European Network for the Investigation of Gender Incongruence. Between 2007 and 2012, 660 adults who fulfilled the criteria of the DSM-IV gender identity disorder diagnosis (1.31:1 male-to-f…
Religiosity, sexual myths, sex taboos, and pornography use: A cross-national comparison of Polish and German university students
The study aimed to compare pornography use of students in two culturally different European countries – Poland and Germany, and to investigate associations with religiosity, sexual myths, and sex taboos. Data were collected in an online survey among German (n = 1303) and Polish (n = 1135) university students aged 18-26 years. Polish students were more religious, showed a greater acceptance of sexual myths, and reported a higher level of sex taboo…
Gender Role, Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation in Cais (“XY-Women”) Compared With Subfertile and Infertile 46,XX Women
The perception of gender development of individuals with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) as unambiguously female has recently been challenged in both qualitative data and case reports of male gender identity. The aim of the mixed-method study presented was to examine the self-perception of CAIS individuals regarding different aspects of gender and to identify commonalities and differences in comparison with subfertile and infertil…

Intimate Partnerships and Sexual Health in Gender-Dysphoric Individuals Before the Start of Medical Treatment
Objectives: This study focuses on sexual health aspects in partnered gender-dysphoric individuals at the start of medical treatment by examining their partnership constellations, sexual experiences, and reports of psychological problems. Methods: As part of the cross-national European Network for the Investigation of Gender Incongruence Study, 168 adult male-to-females (MFs) and female-to-males (FMs; MF:FM sex ratio = 1:1.2) were surveyed by mean…
Gender experience and satisfaction with gender allocation in adults with diverse intersex conditions (divergences of sex development, DSD)
The aims of this mixed-methods study were to: (1) describe the gender experience and level of satisfaction with gender allocation of intersex persons and (2) explore the spectrum of their gender identities. Of the 69 participants with a number of divergences of sex development (DSD), gender allocation at birth was female in 83% and male in 17%. Seventy-five per cent were satisfied with gender allocation. As adults, 81% lived in the female gender …
Tertium non datur – either/or reactions to transsexualism amongst health care professionals: The situation past and present, and its relevance to the future
According to the principle of the excluded third (tertium non datur) the gender binary divides our social life into two options only: male or female. Similarly, either/or reactions also seem to be applied by people dealing professionally with issues of transsexualism, transgenderism or related statuses. For instance, the history of transsexualism is characterised by attempts to classify transsexual people hierarchically and descriptively. The pri…
Should Disorders of Sex Development be an Exclusion Criterion for Gender Identity Disorder in DSM 5
The DSM-IV-TR category of Gender Identity Disorder (GID; American Psychiatric Association, 2000) is limited to persons with typical somatosexual development who experience "strong and persistent cross-gender identification" as well as a "persistent discomfort with his or her sex or sense of inappropriateness in the gender role of that sex." The presence of a concurrent "physical intersex condition" rules out the unqualified diagnosis. However, a …

Gender identity and recalled gender related childhood play-behaviour in adult individuals with different forms of intersexuality
The concept of intersexuality subsumes a wide variety of phenomena with very specific underlying causes. In all these cases, an untypical development takes place during the prenatal sex differentiation process becoming clinically manifest, either at, or soon after birth or at the time of puberty. It subsumes conditions in which biological sexual characteristics (e.g. chromosomal sex, gonadal sex, hormonal sex, morphological sex) differ from each …
