Following a definition of transsexualism, the acknowledged medical treatment and the groups of persons who may require sex changes are considered. The medical and surgical procedures involved in a sex change and the dangers inherent in such procedures are then briefly discussed. The legal implications of a sex change in various countries are touched upon with reference to several cases. The discussion is then extended to human rights aspects, with a report of a case considered by the European Commission of Human Rights and the European Court of Human Rights. The paper closes with a summary of some of the problems facing a transsexual after surgery.
在对易性癖进行定义之后，我们将考虑公认的医学治疗方法以及可能需要进行性别转换的人群。接下来将简要讨论性别转换所涉及的医学和外科手术程序以及此类手术固有的风险。文中还将参照若干案例提及不同国家性别转换的法律影响。随后讨论将扩展至人权方面，并报告欧洲人权委员会和欧洲人权法院审议的一个案例。本文最后总结了变性者术后面临的一些问题。
