TRANSGENITALIZATION AND SOCIAL ADAPTATION OF TRANSSEXUAL PEOPLE

Abstract

The mandatory sexual adjustment of people who are non-conformed with their sexuality characterizes the transsexual syndrome as pathology. Transgenitalization is the only efficacious strategy for morphological sex to comply with the psychological one and thus eliminating the cause of repulsion that may lead to self-mutilation and suicide. Surgery is the first phase in the treatment which is complete through the social adaptation of the transsexual person by adjusting the former first name and sex to the body. The main issue of current analysis is the transsexual´s right to social insertion in the face of the relative immutability of public registries and their inquiries on the viability of the intended change. The silence of the law with regard to this issue does not impede solutions that will certainly appear when the impairments contrary to the presuppositions of human rights, the dignity of the human person, the rights of the personality, the objectives of the republic and the inviolability of rights to life, equality and health are overcome.
