abstract = {Transsexualism describes the condition when a person's
psychological gender differs from his or her biological sex
and is commonly thought to arise from a discrepant cerebral
and genital sexual differentiation. This review intends to
give an extensive overview of structural and functional
neurobiological correlates of transsexualism and their
course under cross-sex hormonal treatment. Research in this
field enables insight into the stability or variability of
gender differences and their relation to hormonal status.
For a number of sexually dimorphic brain structures or
processes, signs of feminisation or masculinisation are
observable in transsexual individuals, which, during
hormonal treatment, partly seem to further adjust to
characteristics of the desired sex. Still, it appears the
data are quite inhomogeneous, mostly not replicated and in
many cases available for male-to-female transsexuals only.
As the prevalence of homosexuality is markedly higher among
transsexuals than among the general population,
disentangling correlates of sexual orientation and gender
identity is a major problem. To resolve such deficiencies,
the implementation of specific research standards is
proposed.},
