Female transsexualism--a child and adolescent perspective

S J Bradley. Child Psychiatry Hum Dev. 1980 Fall.

Abstract

A brief review of the literature on female transsexualism illustrates the paucity of dynamically oriented explanations. The author presents information from eight child and adolescent cases in which the need to change sex appears related to a need to protect mother and herself from a violent or threatening father.
