Disease relevance of Transsexualism

• These genes could pre-dispose the sons to feminization and subsequent development of either homosexuality or transsexualism [1].

Psychiatry related information on Transsexualism

• Western concepts of transsexualism, gynemimesis, transvestism, and homosexuality are not distinct categories by the Burmese [2].
• The empirical evidence of psychosexual functioning does not support Money's schema which suggest that sexual variation (homosexuality), transsexualism, and transvestism are incongruities of gender identity [3].

High impact information on Transsexualism

• Childhood sexual identity, childhood religiosity, and "homophobia" as influences in the development of transsexualism, homosexuality, and heterosexuality [4].
• Our findings support a biological etiology of male-to-female transsexualism, implicating decreased prenatal androgen exposure in MFT [5].
• Sex steroid-related genes and male-to-female transsexualism [6].
• The relevance of H-Y antigen for the aetiology of transsexualism is discussed [7].
• We speculate that PGDH activity was raised in the uterus of transsexual women because of the prolonged androgen therapy they received for the management of female-to-male transsexualism [8].

Chemical compound and disease context of Transsexualism

• Psychoneuroendocrine studies linking homosexuality and transsexualism to the type of LH response to estrogen administration should be viewed in the light of these results [9].
• Transsexualism and Slater's Selective Vocabulary Test [10].

Biological context of Transsexualism

• Other studies showed that late maternal age was associated with homosexuality, but not with transsexualism [11].
• This paper takes a critical look at the hormonal basis of sexual behavior and concludes that it plays no part in determination of sexual activity or sexual preference in any of its forms including homosexuality and transsexualism [3].
• Recent reports have implied that patients with transsexualism exhibit H-Y antigen phenotypes at variance with those of normal males and females and, thus, that H-Y serology might provide a tool for the diagnosis and study of the transsexual condition [12].
