The aim of this study was to examine the social and sexual adjustments of Singapore female transsexuals following sex reassignment surgery. All female transsexuals who were operated on since 1989 were interviewed. There were a total of 17 transsexuals with a mean age of 29 years (range, 20 to 41 years) at the time of inception. Before surgery, all were single. After surgery, 6 out of 11 subjects had married abroad. Before surgery, some had problems with identity cards, passports, travelling and work which were resolved with surgery. They were better accepted and had better sexual adjustment after surgery. All were satisfied with the change in sex, but only 65% were satisfied with the surgery. Only 59% said they were willing to undergo the operation again. After a test case in court, they were unable to marry in Singapore. Their primary motive to undergo sex reassignment surgery was to become a member of the opposite sex, so that they could be recognised socially and legally.
本研究的目的是调查新加坡女性变性者在性别重置手术后的社会和性适应情况。对自1989年以来接受手术的所有女性变性者进行了访谈。共有17名变性者，开始研究时的平均年龄为29岁（范围为20至41岁）。手术前，她们均单身。手术后，11名受试者中有6人在国外结婚。手术前，一些人在身份证、护照、旅行和工作方面存在问题，这些问题在手术后得到了解决。她们在手术后更容易被接受，性适应情况也更好。所有人都对性别改变感到满意，但只有65%的人对手术满意。只有59%的人表示愿意再次接受手术。在法庭上的一个测试案例之后，她们在新加坡无法结婚。她们接受性别重置手术的主要动机是成为异性成员，以便在社会和法律上得到认可。
