1, changing sex through surgery
A "transgender" refers to a person who has changed the original biological sex through surgery. In medicine, people who want to change their biological sex, whether they are transgender or not, are called transsexuals.
Transsexualism refers to the psychological denial of one's sex, thinking that one's sex is opposite to that of the external genitalia, and demanding a change in physical gender characteristics. Therefore, it is also called transsexuality or transsexuality, which belongs to gender identity disorder.
2. the reason
Generally speaking, sex has obstacles to gender identity since childhood, and the psychological reversal in adolescence constantly feels the contradiction or disharmony between one's physical gender and psychological gender, and strongly demands that one's sexual anatomical structure be changed through transsexual surgery. When the requirements of transsexuality are not met, it will often be extremely painful because of inner contradictions, and even lead to self-harm and suicide.
Transsexualization is widespread all over the world, which can be seen in different nationalities and occupations, and patients' life experiences, cultural backgrounds and social conditions are also different.
3. Wrong sex education
30% of transgender people received wrong sex education in early childhood. There are five types of people who have undergone sex-change surgery in the gender reshaping center: congenital transsexuality, yin-yang malformation, acquired transsexuality (wrong gender designation), people with ambiguous sexual characteristics caused by trauma, and people with ambiguous congenital gender characteristics. Among them, 30% transsexuals are caused by the wrong gender designation from childhood.
Some parents raise their children according to their own preferences. For example, if a boy is beautiful, he will dress up as a girl, or if he likes his son, he will dress up his daughter as a boy. Although adults think it's fun.
However, some studies have shown that human beings' self-enlightenment on gender begins at the age of 2 to 3, so parents' special hobbies often lead to unhealthy gender induction for their children, and when they grow up, they are easy to become patients with psychological barriers to gender identity-acquired transsexuality.
Transgender people are protected by law.
On June 24, 2009, the Ministry of Health issued the Technical Management Standard for Sex-change Surgery to all localities, which not only stipulated strict preconditions, qualification requirements and implementation standards for medical institutions to carry out sex-change surgery, but also made it particularly clear in Section III, Article 5, Paragraph 4 that hospitals should "issue relevant medical certificates for patients after surgery so that patients can go through relevant legal procedures".
This provision echoes the provision of the Ministry of Public Security in an official reply last year 10 on changing the gender identity of household registration after surgical transsexuality, and lists the hospital's gender identification certificate and surgical notarial certificate as the premise of gender change registration; At this point, the ambiguity of legal status brought by transsexual surgery, as well as the inconvenience and embarrassment caused by it, is expected to be eliminated from the system.
