Original title: "As Transexuais!" (The Transsexuals!) by Maria Helena Guedes.Transsexuality refers to the condition of the transgender individual who suffers from gender dysphoria, a feeling of discomfort or impropriety from their own anatomical sex, and wishes to transition to a gender other than the one imposed at birth, with some medical help (gender reassignment therapy) for their body.The stereotypical explanation is of a woman trapped in a male body or vice versa, yet many members of the trans community, as well as people outside the community, reject this formulation.
