"This is an evaluation of the therapeutic effect of sex reassignment surgery on 36 female-to-male transsexuals and 105 male-to-female transsexuals in the Netherlands. Data were collected by means of structured interviews. The evaluation was made on the basis of subjective data only, that is on what the persons themselves reported on their gender identity, gender role, and physical condition. Allowing for the restrictive methodology of the (ex post facto) study, it is concluded that there is no reason to doubt the therapeutic effect of sex reassignment surgery. No specific differences were found between those who were still in medical treatment and those who had completed treatment. The findings obtained in the female-to-male transsexuals compare favourably with those obtained in male-to-female transsexuals. Finally, the conclusion is drawn that more attention ought to be paid to psychosocial guidance in addition to medical guidance."
这是对荷兰36名女变男变性者和105名男变女变性者进行性别重置手术治疗效果的评估。数据通过结构化访谈收集。评估仅基于主观数据，即这些人自己报告的性别认同、性别角色和身体状况。考虑到（事后）研究方法的局限性，得出的结论是没有理由怀疑性别重置手术的治疗效果。仍在接受治疗的人与已完成治疗的人之间未发现具体差异。女变男变性者的研究结果与男变女变性者的研究结果相比更有利。最后得出的结论是，除了医疗指导外，还应更多地关注心理社会指导。
