Within psychology and psychiatry, gender identity has developed at least two distinguishable meanings: awareness of anatomy and endorsing specific traits that are stereotypical of different gender groups. However, neither existing approach has considered gender identity to be a self-categorization process that exists within personality science. In this book, gender identity is examined as a disorder, along with developmental perspectives and social implications. Some of the topics discussed include gender identity as a personality process; the intersection of gender and sexual identity develop

The birth of a baby with ambiguous genitalia triggers a chain reaction of difficulties that rapidly spread to the entire family and most medical attendants, leading to lasting effects on the gender identity, personality, and sexual functioning of the unfortunate individual.  The rapid advances in medicine over the last 50 years have totally changed the outlook for children with disorders of sex development (DSD), but there is still much to learn.   This book crystallizes the combined experience of a leading dedicated unit over 25 years in delivering expert medical and surgical care to children with DSD in a holistic environment.  It documents the most recent advances in the molecular biology and embryology of sex development, and describes each disorder in detail.  The clinical presentation and approach to diagnosis are described both for babies and for children presenting later in childhood or at adolescence.  The chapters on management highlight all the latest knowledge and include the shared wisdom of the authors on current controversies, such as the timing of surgical treatment.  Finally, the authors describe their short-, medium-, and long-term outcomes, which demonstrate the strengths of holistic team management.

Het subjectieve gevoel 'ik ben een jongen, een man' of 'ik ben een meisje, een vrouw' is voor de meesten onder ons vanzelfsprekend. Sommige personen ervaren echter een conflict tussen hun biologische geslacht en de genderidentiteit. Het woord 'gender' weerspiegelt de psychosociale aspecten van het geslacht. Een transgender persoon ervaart een vorm van genderdysforie, een gevoel van onbehagen dat wordt toegeschreven aan de kloof tussen de genderidentiteit en zijn of haar genitale kenmerken. Vaak vergt het bereiken van het gewenste geslacht psychologische en/of medische begeleiding, het onderwerp van dit boek. De hedendaagse begeleiding van transgenderpersonen wordt gedetailleerd voorgesteld, met beschrijving van de diagnosestelling, de hormonale therapie, de geslachtsconfirmerende chirurgie, de nazorg en de effecten van behandeling op de levenskwaliteit. Omdat genderdysforie bij de meesten niet plots ontstaat op volwassen leeftijd, wordt de recent aangeboden begeleiding van kinderen en adolescenten met een genderidentiteitsvraag eveneens beschreven. Daarnaast wordt aandacht besteed aan de sociale context: arbeidsparticipatie, discriminatie, levensstijl maar ook aan juridische aspecten. In de referentiecentra voor transgenderzorg wordt opgemerkt dat het aantal nieuwe aanmeldingen de voorbije jaren steeds toeneemt, mogelijks een teken van meer openheid rond dit onderwerp in onze maatschappij. Dit boek is bestemd voor transgenderpersonen, hun familie en nabije omgeving, hun hulpverleners en iedereen die zich wilt verdiepen in dit fascinerende onderwerp.

The formation of gender identity is a singularly complex part of an individual's development. When this process is further complicated by conflict between experienced gender and assigned gender or by medical conditions affecting sex development,lifetime consequenses can result. Gender Dysphoria and Disorders of Sex Development offers up-to-date understanding and interventions in one comprehensive volume featuring expert coverage of developmental trajectories, comorbid conditions, current medical and psychological treatments, and an instructive history of professional conceptualizations of gender dysphoria (GD) and disorders of sex development (DSD). Introductory chapters analyze the roles of sex hormones and genetics in brain organization and introduce an integrative biopsychosocial model of gender development. A framework for age-appropriate treatment for children (including guidelines for working with infants), adolescents, and adults is the book's core. And as sex reassignment continues to prove a viable option for some individuals, the latest endocrine-based and surgical interventions for adults are discussed as well. Throughout, this groundbreaking reference work emphasizes empirical knowledge, compassion, a strong ethical base, and coordinated interdisciplinary care. Among the topics covered: Genetic aspects of gender identity development and gender dysphoria Psychosexual development in individuals with disorders of sex development Gender identity diagnoses: history and controversies Early medical intervention in adolescents with gender dysphoria Psychiatric comorbidity in adults with gender identity problems The impact of stigma on transgender identity development and mental health For researchers and clinicians, including psychologists, psychiatrists, endocrinologists, and surgeons working in the field of GD and DSD, Gender Dysphoria and Disorders of Sex Development provides a unique view of the state of the field and recommendations for future research and care.

As a child, he played with trucks and action figures and wanted to be a firefighter. As a youth, he began dressing up in his mother's clothes and becoming sexually aroused. When he started dating, he dreamed of being his girlfriends. "What am I?" he asked his therapist. "A transsexual? A transvestite? Something else?" This vignette describes a man who experiences autogynephilia: a paraphilic disorder in which men who are attracted to women are also erotically aroused by the idea of being women and sometimes want to undergo sex reassignment and live as women. Men Trapped in Men's Bodies explores the phenomenon of autogynephilia, arguing cogently that it accounts for many cases of male-to-female (MtF) transsexualism in Western countries. The book demonstrates that not all MtF transsexuals conform to the familiar stereotype of women trapped in men's bodies: Many resemble—and even describe themselves as—men trapped in men's bodies. Sometimes at odds with conventional wisdom about the interrelationships of sex, gender, and sexuality, the book examines the manifestations and clinical implications of autogynephilia, based on narratives provided by over 300 autogynephilic MtF transsexuals and transgender persons: stories of shame and confusion, courage and self-acceptance. The final chapter examines current and possible future treatment options for autogynephilic gender dysphoric men. Included in this important volume are: • Narratives by autogynephilic transsexuals • Developmental histories of autogynephilic transsexuals • Descriptions of different types of autogynephilia • Autogynephilia's relationship to heterosexuality • Narratives by nontranssexual autogynephiles • Contrasting views of the meaning of autogynephilia For researchers who study gender dysphoria, MtF transsexualism, paraphilias, and related conditions, and for clinicians who treat patients with these conditions, Men Trapped in Men's Bodies provides an essential resource for understanding an underappreciated aspect of MtF transsexualism. For MtF transsexuals and transgender persons, as well as their partners, family members, friends, and associates, the book is a welcome new source of information and validation. .
