Four black and three whilte families have a male-to-female transexual member surgically reassigned more than 5 years ag. The black families were more open than the white in declaring the reassignment within the family and community. Thereby they relieved themselves and the transexual member of a need for deception, defiance, or defensiveness, and they were less scheming and manipulative. Without the anxiety of concealment, they could feel more positive about sex reassignment as a form of rehabilitation. A formal public declaration of sex reassignment, analogous to a declared change of citizenship, would be advantageous in transexual rehabilitation.
四个黑人家庭和三个白人家庭中有一名变性成员在五年多前接受了手术变性。黑人家庭在家庭和社区内宣布变性方面比白人家庭更开放。因此，他们使自己和变性成员无需欺骗、违抗或防御，而且他们不那么工于心计和善于操纵。没有了隐瞒的焦虑，他们对变性作为一种康复形式会感觉更积极。类似于宣布公民身份变更的变性正式公开声明，对变性康复会有好处。
