What is transexualism?
Transexualism is a gender identity disorder in which a person assumes the characteristics and permanently acts the part of the gender opposite to his or her biological sex. It is an intense disturbance of a person’s sense of sexual identity, where there is a deep desire to be the opposite sex. The person may also believe that he or she is “trapped” in a body of the wrong sex. Transexualism affects men to a greater degree than it affects women.
