Thirty-five partners were identified in a group of 72 transsexuals. Six male-to-female transsexuals continued to live with their marriage partner, but the remainder of the total group cohabited with a member of the same biological sex. Two of the female-to-male transsexuals had undergone a marriage ceremony with their present partner, but the remainder had not. In most cases the social class of the partner was the same as that of the transsexual. In one case two transsexuals were living together, and this case and three others out of a total of six who were interviewed are described in more detail. The partnerships described support the view that transsexualism is best regarded as an overvalued idea which may be accepted or shared by a partner. The extent to which the idea is shared is related to the bond of affection between the partners, the pattern of dominance between them, and the sexual needs of the partner.
在72名变性人中确定了35名伴侣。6名男变女的变性人继续与他们的婚姻伴侣生活在一起，但整个群体的其余人则与相同生理性别成员同居。2名女变男的变性人与他们目前的伴侣举行了结婚仪式，但其余人没有。在大多数情况下，伴侣的社会阶层与变性人相同。有一个案例是两名变性人生活在一起，在总共接受采访的6人中，这个案例以及其他3个案例将被更详细地描述。所描述的伴侣关系支持这样一种观点，即变性最好被视为一种被高估的观念，伴侣可能会接受或认同这种观念。这种观念被认同的程度与伴侣之间的情感纽带、他们之间的主导模式以及伴侣的性需求有关。
