title: A transsexual patient searching for adjustment.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Transsexual phenomenon is very complex, which is confirmed in everyday practice with these patients. There are many reasons why we have chosen to present this patient's case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  The aim of this case report was to indicate how our female-to-male (FtM) transsexual patient tried to change her own sexual drive with the purpose of showing high adaptation in social environment as her personal representation of mental health. At the same time, this was an attempt to escape from gender dysphoria by becoming heterosexual escaping from her basic sexual drive. Our patient could not put her erotic attributes in sexual relations, so she had numerous heterosexual, bisexual and homosexual relationships.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  By this case report, we want to present how conviction of belonging to the opposite sex can affect erotic contact with the same and different sex.
