This study aimed to analyze rumination levels of transsexual women before and after gender affirmation surgery (GAS). Rumination scores may represent a broader measure of GAS success and an alternative to patient-reported satisfaction, quality of life, well-being, or the presence of "caseness" for anxiety or depression as previously established in the literature. Thirty-nine transsexual women were recruited. The participants completed the rumination scale of the Response Styles Questionnaire (RSQ) and were divided into three subsets according to the treatment time. The rumination scores were lower in the transsexual women who had undergone surgical procedures on primary sexual characteristics and gradually decreased with each additional procedure completed with respect to secondary sexual characteristics. Rumination appears to comprise an important marker of improvement in post-GAS transsexual women.
本研究旨在分析变性女性在性别确认手术（GAS）前后的沉思水平。沉思得分可能代表了对性别确认手术成功与否的更广泛衡量，并且是患者报告的满意度、生活质量、幸福感，或者如先前文献中所确立的焦虑或抑郁“病例状态”的替代指标。招募了39名变性女性。参与者完成了反应方式问卷（RSQ）的沉思量表，并根据治疗时间分为三个亚组。接受过原发性特征手术的变性女性的沉思得分较低，并且随着每一项继发性特征手术的完成而逐渐降低。沉思似乎是变性女性性别确认手术后改善情况的一个重要标志。
