Transsexuality is a condition similar to trangenderism in which a transsexual person self-identifies as a member of the gender opposite to the one assigned to them at birth. Commonly, a transsexual believes that his or her body does not reflect his or her true 'inner' gender, and often pursue sex-change operations to have their physical body match their mental identification.

It is claimed that Meta-reviews of post-operative transsexuals prior to 1991 reveal a rate of serious regrets of less than 1% for transsexual men and less than 2% for transsexual women, while studies published after 1991 have reported a decrease in the rates for both, likely due to improved psychological and surgical treatments and increasing acceptance from society.[2]While such studies lend support for existing protocols concerning care of transsexuals, post-operative follow-up research is considered to be lacking. However a note on a report in the UK Guardian Newspaper states:
