Gender reassignment for carefully assessed transsexual patients is now an established and accepted practice in many parts of the world. In other areas customary attitudes to those with sexual differences prevents consideration. A large number of autobiographies by reassigned patients have been published and all throw light on the experience of the writers. The one which may be recommended is that by Morris (1974). For the interested lay-person enquiring about the nature of transsexualism the brief book by Hodgkinson (1987) may be recommended.
对于经过仔细评估的变性患者进行性别重新认定,如今在世界许多地方已成为一种既定且被认可的做法。在其他地区,对那些有性别差异者的传统态度使得这种做法无法得到考虑。大量变性患者的自传已经出版,所有这些都揭示了作者们的经历。其中值得推荐的一本是莫里斯(1974年)所著的。对于有兴趣了解变性欲本质的普通民众,霍奇金森(1987年)所著的简短书籍或许值得推荐。
