With few exceptions, a solution to any problem will bring new difficulties. These may or may not be worse than the original problem, and one must decide, not between problem and answer, but between degrees of difficulty. Is the new situation really going to be better than the last? This is undoubtedly the situation with the transsexual. It is undeniable that in the majority of cases the treated transsexual is an infinitely happier person than the one who has not undergone therapy, but as a result of this treatment there arises a host of new difficulties. Using personal experience, it is my intention to illustrate the problems which beset the transsexual before, during and after treatment. It will then be possible to ascertain whether or not, in spite of these difficulties, there is in fact a dilemma. Is there indeed any choice?
几乎无一例外，任何问题的解决都会带来新的困难。这些困难可能比原来的问题更糟，也可能不会，人们必须做出的不是在问题与答案之间抉择，而是在不同程度的困难之间抉择。新情况真的会比上一种更好吗？变性者的情况无疑就是如此。不可否认，在大多数情况下，接受治疗的变性者比未接受治疗的变性者要幸福得多，但这种治疗也引发了一系列新的困难。我打算结合个人经历，阐述变性者在治疗前、治疗期间和治疗后的种种问题。这样就能确定，尽管存在这些困难，实际上是否存在两难困境。真的有选择吗？
