Change Sex / Changer de sexe: Illusion et r?alit?

""There have always been men and women who refused to live in the body in which they were born. We entered a new era when advances in surgery and hormonology made possible a certain transformation of the body. However, we do not change a biological man into a biological woman or a biological woman into a biological man: we change the appearance and the marital status. A biological man can build himself as a social woman and a biological woman can build herself as a social man, and then live happily. To help them in this long and painful path, we advocate for the improvement of care by an increase in the resources allocated to the multidisciplinary teams that ensure this transition."" C. C. A university professor, Colette Chiland taught child and adolescent psychology and psychopathology, then clinical psychology at the University of Paris-Descartes. A psychiatrist, she worked at the Alfred-Binet Center (Paris) and is honorary president of the International Association of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Associated Professions. A psychoanalyst, she was a training member of the Paris Psychoanalytic Society. She has published, among others, Sois sage, ? ma douleur.
