Body structure of female-to-male transsexuals.
31 female-to-male transsexuals treated in the Department of Plastic Surgery, Medical University of Lódź, were examined. Anthropometric measurements were carried out according to Martin's technique. 23 measured characteristics of the examined transsexuals were studied; they were compared with identical characteristics in males and females of the control group. The results indicate that the somatic characteristics in transsexual women are between the values typical for man and women.
