title: What to do when non transsexuals seek sex reassignment surgery.
abstract: A request for sex reassignment by a non-transsexual frequently leads to a serious confrontation between the patient and therapist. Therapists should explore and resolve the specific issues that have lead to such requests. As those issues are resolved, the non-transsexual usually drops his/her demands for sex reassignment.
