Research Study: Relationships Between Transsexual Parents
and Their Children
Amanda Veldorale-Brogan of Florida State University is conducting
research on this topic. If you are living full-time in the gender role
opposite that of your birth sex and your child was between ages
4 and 18 at the time of your transition, you are encouraged to complete the
Adaptation to Parental Gender Transition, Parent Survey.
There is a parallel questionnaire for children of transsexual parents,
with the same eligibility criteria:
Adaptation to Parental Gender
Transition, Child Survey.
In this commentary in Archives of
Sexual Behavior, I conclude that autogynephilic men who desire sex reassignment
do have a mental disorder and that the DSM-5 should include an appropriate
diagnosis.
