Sex reassignement with or without surgery. New ethical and juridical pathways.

CONCLUSIONS: The authors point out that critical issues and obstacles to the full implementation of the right to gender identity remain, in that this right is still subject to the authorization of a judge. This approach does not seem to be in line with the recent World Health Organization (WHO) decision to remove the "gender incongruity" from the list of mental and behavioural disorders (as it is in the current International Classification of Diseases-10, so far), to decrease the stigma surrounding such a condition. KEY WORDS: Gender identity, Sex reassignment, Surgery, Stigma, Transsexualism, Transgender. PMID: 31182698 [PubMed - in process]
