transsexual – מילון אנגלי-אנגלי
transsexual
n.
one who has changed his gender, one who has undergone a sex change
Transsexual
Transsexual people experience a
gender identity that is inconsistent with, or not culturally associated with, their
assigned sex, and desire to permanently
transition to the
gender with which they identify, usually seeking medical assistance (including
hormone replacement therapy and other
sex reassignment therapies) to help them align their body with their identified
sex or gender.
Transsexual is generally considered a subset of
transgender, but some transsexual people reject the label of
transgender. A medical diagnosis of
gender dysphoria can be made if a person expresses a desire to live and be accepted as a member of their identified sex, or if a person experiences impaired functioning or
distress as a result of their gender identity.
