Abstract
Gender identity is a person concept of self as being male or female, or ambivalent sex. Trans-sexuality or gender identity disorder was given that name by Harry Benjamin since 1940. The treatment should be multi and inter-disciplinary through a process of a gender reassignment. A case is presented of a 50 year-old patient with a diagnosis of male to female (MTF) gender dysphoria, who felt dissatisfied since childhood with her gender assigned at birth, thus being a candidate for hormone replacement therapy, surgical feminisation treatment, and gender assignment.
