Transsexualitat

Una dona trans amb les lletres "XY" escrites al seu palmell

La transsexualitat és la condició segons la qual les persones transsexuals experimenten una identitat de gènere que és inconsistent o no associada culturalment amb el seu sexe assignat, i desitgen una transició permanent al gènere amb el qual s'identifiquen, normalment mitjançant assistència mèdica (incloent la teràpia de reemplaçament hormonal i altres teràpies de reassignament de sexe) per ajudar-los a alinear el seu cos amb el sexe o gènere amb què s'identifiquen. Transsexual és generalment considerat com un subconjunt de transgènere,^[1]^[2]^[3] però algunes persones transsexuals rebutgen l'etiqueta de transgènere.^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7] Es pot fer una diagnosi mèdica de disfòria de gènere si una persona expressa el desig per viure i ser acceptat com a membre del sexe amb què s'identifica,^[8] o si una persona té una malestar per la seva identitat de gènere.^[9]

[Consulta: 5 juliol 2016]. «Transsexualism is often included within the broader term 'transgender', which is generally considered an umbrella term for people who do not conform to typically accepted gender roles for the sex they were assigned at birth. The term 'transgender' is a word employed by activists to encompass as many groups of gender diverse people as possible. However, many of these groups individually don't identify with the term. Many health clinics and services set up to serve gender variant communities employ the term, however most of the people using these services again don't identify with this term. The rejection of this political category by those that it is designed to cover clearly illustrates the difference between self-identification and categories that are imposed by observers to understand other people.»
