The Taqua of Marriage

In addition to the Transsexual category is an anomaly now called the ‘Third
Sex’:

Prior to recognition of transsexualism as a disorder deserving medical and

psychiatric attention many patients self-mutilated or committed suicide out of

despair. Transsexual patients are helped by sympathetic assessment and

intervention ... A recent development in the pattern of patients presenting clinically

are those with a transgendered identity popularly known as ‘the third sex'. These

males or females do not request ‘sex change'. Rather, they want, if male, to be

demasculinized and, if female, to be defeminized. Thus males want castration and

penectomy but no oestrogen treatment and no neovagina, and females want

mastectomy, perhaps hysterectomy, but no androgen treatment and no neophallus.

These patients pose a dilemma for clinicians. The crux of patient management for

gender identity disorder [Transexual] is the ‘Real Life Test' including cross-sex

hormonal treatment, the prelude to possible surgical alteration. Reversible

procedures precede those that are irreversible in this management strategy. But

with these third-sex patients , no ‘Real Life Test' is possible. They do not have a trial

period. Guidelines for testing the rationality and stability of their requests need to

evolve from the body of clinicians currently attempting management of this unique

population.^50

developmental form and function—
which predisposes us towards pity and
compassionate support for these
profoundly handicapped victims—it appears we must similarly position our
perspective towards sufferers of heterodox sexual orientations after
considering causes of relative hormonal deficit or excess below.

In addition to and notwithstanding the valid entities just described as victims
of bio-errors, are several sexual digressions that are indeed socially
