“…The co-occurrence of GID and ASD has been reported in several case histories (Kraemer et al 2005;Landen and Rasmussen 1997;Mukaddes 2002;Tateno et al 2008), observations from sexual disorder clinics (Robinow 2009) and recently, in a larger sample of adolescents and children (de Vries et al 2010). There is evidence of similarities between girls with ASC and girls with GID.…”

The 'extreme male brain' theory suggests females with Autism Spectrum Conditions are hyper-masculinized in certain aspects of behavior. We predicted that females with Gender Identity Disorder (who are masculinized) would have elevated Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) scores. AQ scores from five groups were compared: (1) n = 61 transmen (female-to-male transsexual people); (2) n = 198 transwomen (male-to-female transsexual people); (3) n = 76 typical males; (4) n = 98 typical females; and (5) n = 125 individuals with Asperger Syndrome (AS). Transmen had a higher mean AQ than typical females, typical males and transwomen, but lower than individuals with AS. Transmen have more autistic traits and may have had difficulty socializing with female peers and thus found it easier to identify with male peer groups.

“…Mukaddes [23] described two natal boys with a diagnosis of high functioning autism who showed persistent gender identity incongruence, that continued throughout a four year follow up period. And finally, Perera et al [24] reported the case of a 20 year old natal female who was followed up since the age of nine with diagnoses of Asperger's and OCD and who presented with GID.…”

“…Out of the 19 articles, eight were case reports [13,21,22,23,24,25,26,27] and four were cohort studies. The first cohort study explored the development of gender identity in children with Autism [28], the second established the co-occurrence of ASD and Gender Dysphoria [12], the third attempting to establish predictive factors for autism spectrum traits [29], and the fourth reviewed the overrepresentation of adolescent developmental problems in minors with Gender Dysphoria [30].…”

“…Çocuklarda ise başta anksiyete bozukluğu olmak üzere, depresyon, karşıt olma karşıt gelme ve otizm spektrum bozukluğu (OSB) ile birliktelik görülmektedir (Landen ve Rasmussen 1997, Mukaddes 2002. Cinsel kimlik bozukluğu ve OSB arasındaki ilişki "aynılığın korunmasındaki ısrar" ve "obsesif kişilik özellikleri" ile bağlantılı olabileceğini düşündürmektedir.…”

ÖzetYapılan epidemiyolojik çalışma verileri daha çok cinsiyet değiştirme ameliyatları için başvuran kişilerden elde edilmiş olsa da, transseksüalitenin geçmişte düşünüldüğü kadar nadir olmadığı ve gerek psikolojik gerekse toplumsal sonuçları nedeniyle üzerinde önemle durulması gerektiği bilinmektedir. Etyolojisi tam olarak aydınlatılamamış olup biyolojik ve psikososyal faktörlerin etiyolojide birlikte rol oynadığı düşünülmektedir. 3-4 yaş civarında yerleşen cinsel kimliğin bu yaştan sonra değiştirilmesi olanaksızdır. Bu nedenle uygulanacak tedavilerde amaç cinsel kimliği değiştirmek değil kişinin kimliğine ve yaşantısına uyumunu arttırmak olmalıdır. Dünya Profesyonel Transseksüel Sağlığı Birliği (The World Professional Association for Transgender Health [WPATH]) bakım standartlarını (Standards of Care [SOC]) içeren bir kılavuz yayınlamıştır ve bu kılavuz transseksüel bireylerin takip ve tedavilerine dair öneriler sunmaktadır. Medeni kanunda cinsiyet değiş-tirme ile ilgili madde oldukça ayrıntılı olmakla birlikte maddeye sıkı sıkıya bağlı kalındığında kullanım alanı oldukça dardır ve bu konuda yeni bir düzenlemeye ihtiyaç duyulduğu açıktır.Anahtar sözcükler: Cinsel kimlik, transseksüalite, cinsiyet değiştirme, yasal konular. AbstractAlthough the epidemiological data is generally obtained from the patients that applied for gender reassignment surgery, it is known that transsexualism is not seen as rarely as it was estimated in the past and should be evaluated in detail because of its psychological and social consequences. Etiology remains to be unclear and biological and psychosocial factors are thought to be responsible for its development. Gender identity stabilizes approximately in 3-4 ages and it is impossible to change it after these ages. For this reason the aim of treatment approaches is to improve the conformity of individuals to their identity and life, but not to change the gender identity. The World Professional Association for Transgender Health [WPATH] published a guideline including standards of care [SOC] and SOC provide clinical guidance in follow-up and treatment of transsexual individuals. There is a detailed code in civil law about gender reassignment but when this code implemented strictly, the use of it is very limited and it is clear that a new arrangement is needed in this issue.
