Male-to-female and female-to-male transsexuals differed with respect to social, partnership, and sexual behavior, independently of whether they had had surgery. Female-to-male transsexuals more often had close ties to their parents and siblings, established stable partnerships more frequently solely with the same biological sex, and were more satisfied sexually. When they first consulted a physician about sex change, they were already more integrated socially. By the time the follow-up assessment took place, male-to-female transsexuals were as integrated socially as their female-to-male counterparts. The differences in partnership behavior between male-to-female and female-to-male transsexuals were not altered as a result of surgery, despite the better surgical match with which surgery provides male-to-female transsexuals in comparison with their female-to-male counterparts. The reasons for the relational differences remain unclear and raise issues in the areas of developmental psychology and genetics.
男变女和女变男的变性者在社交、伴侣关系及性行为方面存在差异，这与他们是否接受过手术无关。女变男的变性者与父母及兄弟姐妹的关系通常更亲密，更常仅与相同生理性别建立稳定的伴侣关系，且对性生活更满意。当他们首次就变性问题咨询医生时，他们在社交方面已经更融入。到进行随访评估时，男变女的变性者在社交融入程度上已与女变男的变性者相当。尽管手术为男变女的变性者提供了比女变男的变性者更好的手术匹配度，但男变女和女变男的变性者在伴侣关系行为上的差异并未因手术而改变。关系差异的原因尚不清楚，这在发展心理学和遗传学领域引发了诸多问题。
