General practitioners (GPs), obstetrician-gynecologists, urologists, psychiatrists and clinical psychologists (total N = 202) were randomly surveyed to assess their knowledge of the syndrome of transsexuality and their attitudes toward transsexual patients and sex reassignment surgery. A low return rate, though, requires that the present data be interpreted prudently. Where possible, the current findings were compared with the attitudinal data published in 1966 by Green, Stoller and MacAndrew. Over this interval an increasingly liberal and favorable trend in attitudes was noted amongst all medical specialties. 'Liberal' refers to a willingness to recommend a surgical remedy and 'favorable' refers to a less psychopathological perspective of the syndrome and greater social acceptance of these individuals. In the present sample GPs tend to hold the most conservative views, while clinical psychologists consistently endorse the most liberal positions. No differences emerged among the five groups of health care professionals on the factual knowledge assessment.
我们随机调查了全科医生（GPs）、妇产科医生、泌尿科医生、精神科医生和临床心理学家（共202人），以评估他们对易性癖综合征的了解程度，以及他们对易性癖患者和性别重置手术的态度。不过，由于回复率较低，目前的数据需要谨慎解读。在可能的情况下，将当前的调查结果与格林、斯托勒和麦克安德鲁于1966年发表的态度数据进行了比较。在这一时期，所有医学专业领域的态度都呈现出越来越开放和支持的趋势。“开放”是指愿意推荐手术治疗方法，“支持”是指对该综合征的心理病理学观点减少，以及社会对这些人的接受度提高。在当前样本中，全科医生倾向于持有最保守的观点，而临床心理学家始终支持最开放的立场。在五组医疗保健专业人员的事实性知识评估中没有出现差异。
