Résumé

Introduction The objective of this work is to compare the cases of transsexuality studied in the Forensic Medical Clinic of Madrid with those published in other series. Material and methods A retrospective, descriptive, cross-sectional, and observational study was carried out by collecting a series of data from the reports issued by forensic doctors attached to the Forensic Medical Clinic of Madrid, from 11 January 1995 to 4 May 2007. Results A total of 52 reports were obtained in relation to transsexuality, of which 29 were from male to female (55.76%), and 23 from female to male (44.23%). It was noted that the majority lacked psycho-pathological disorders (72.4/65.2% male/female, respectively), the early onset of transsexual sentiment (86.2/100%), the age of re-assignment surgery (male between 18 and 41 years of age; female, between 22 and 43 years old), and its proximity to the application for change of registration. Conclusions The study emphasises the high incidence of absence of psycho-pathological problems (observed in approximately one-third of the cases), the precociousness in the appearance of the transsexual feeling and the proximity between the surgery and the application for registration, conditioned by the current legal requirements. The results obtained in the present study are compared with other series, taking into account the difference in the procedures used.
