| Abstract: | Two Chinese brothers who underwent sex-change surgery to female status are described. Early life experiences of the two siblings differed from those of their non-transsexual brothers and sisters. The pre-transsexual males were raised primarily by the maternal grandmother, whereas the others were reared by their parents. Feminine role orientation began during childhood and continued through adolescence. Sex-change surgery was performed during adulthood in two stages, and both patients are currently living as women. With the exception of another article in this journal issue, there are no other reports of transsexualism in male siblings. |
