Gender identity disorder and its treatment with sex reassignment surgery is a profound experience, which can affect the mental, interpersonal, social and religious aspects of one's life.
This was a qualitative content analysis study focusing on the various dimensions of the experiences of seven patients suffering from gender identity disorder in a female-to-male subgroup. This study presents a report concerning the religious aspects of their experience.
The findings of this study were categorized into the four following conceptual categories: sense of guilt; accomplishing a sense of submission to God's will as well as God's pleasing; practical commitment to religion; and rejection by the religious communities.
Diminishing religion to spirituality comprised the core experiences of these patients having intimate relations with such concepts as secularism, stigma, and technocracy.
性别认同障碍及其通过性别重置手术进行的治疗是一种深刻的体验,会影响一个人生活的心理、人际、社会和宗教方面。
这是一项定性内容分析研究,聚焦于女性向男性转变亚组中七名性别认同障碍患者经历的各个维度。本研究呈现了一份关于其经历宗教方面的报告。
本研究结果分为以下四个概念类别:内疚感;达成对上帝旨意的顺从感以及取悦上帝;对宗教的实际承诺;以及被宗教团体排斥。
将宗教简化为灵性构成了这些患者与世俗主义、污名和技术统治论等概念有密切关联的核心体验。
