Twenty female transsexuals were assessed for sexual reassignment surgery in Singapore. This gives a prevalence of 1 in 36,000 for females aged 15 and above. The age ranged from 18 to 31 with the mean at 24.9 years. Fifteen had received secondary education and 19 were employed. There was no history of serious anti-social behaviour. They were closer to their mothers, some of whom encouraged their cross dressing behaviour during childhood. Their behaviour became more masculine as they grew older. All were unmarried. Eighteen had girl friends and 10 indulged in sexual activities with their girl friends. They sought the sex change operation because they wanted to live as males so that they could marry their girl friends. Eight are at present undergoing the multi-stage operation.
在新加坡，对20名女性变性者进行了性别重置手术评估。这表明15岁及以上女性中，患病率为三万六千分之一。年龄范围在18至31岁之间，平均年龄为24.9岁。15人接受过中等教育，19人有工作。她们没有严重反社会行为的历史。她们与母亲关系更亲密，其中一些母亲在她们童年时鼓励其异装行为。随着年龄增长，她们的行为变得更加男性化。所有人均未婚。18人有女性伴侣，10人与女性伴侣有性行为。她们寻求变性手术是因为想以男性身份生活，以便能与女性伴侣结婚。目前有8人正在接受多阶段手术。
