"‘Gender dysphoria’ is a term suggested by the author to describe the spectrum of patients drawn from transsexualists, transvestites and effeminate homosexuals who are disenchanted with their male, anatomical sex: it has little clinical authenticity to
justify its use and is of dubious value.
The book reviews the biological, genetic and environmental factors that have been identified in the aetiology of male transsexualism and discusses the clinical management and treatment of the condition. There is little in the way of original data to appeal to the specialist and this book would only be of value to those with a casual interest in transsexualism."
