Background: Gender identity disorder (GID) is considered as a very complicated clinical case and there are usually various variables in the inside-family-communication atmosphere. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine attachment styles in people with GID and compare them with normal people in Fars province, Iran. Materials and Methods: This case-control study with accessible sampling was conducted in Fars province, Iran, in 2014 using 60 visitors to the Fars province forensics head office who had been diagnosed as having GID by the commission of psychology (the case group) and 204 individuals in dispose, whom psychologists diagnosed as having no psychological disorder and in synchronization with the sample group (controls). The demographic questionnaire and Collins and Read attachment style questionnaires were used in both groups. Data were collected and then analyzed using the SPSS software version 18, Kormogrov Smirnov's normality test and Pearson's correlation coefficient. A significance level of P < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: Findings showed that the highest frequency (71%) in terms of secure attachment and the lowest frequency (0%) in terms of avoidant attachment were observed in patients with GID who had been operated and the highest frequency of avoidant attachment (62.1%) and the lowest frequency of secure attachment (0%) were observed in patients with GID who had not been operated. Conclusions: According to the findings of this study, GID patients who have been operated are more secure in attachment styles than those who have not been operated, and there is a significant correlation between age, education and gender with attachment style among these individuals.

“…The distinctive characteristic defining GD encompasses persistent discomfort with one's gender and a wish to get rid of their sexual characteristics and acquire sexual characteristics of the other gender. [ 6 ] Gender identity likely reflects a complex interplay of biological, environmental, and cultural factors. [ 7 8 9 ] Transgender is an adjective to describe individuals with an affirmed gender identity different than their physical sex characteristics.…”

“…Researches comparing clinical, biochemical profile and personality characteristics among GD subjects had generated mixed results, with dissimilar patterns for MTF and FTM transsexual subjects. [ 6 ] There is paucity of endocrine literature in general and specially from India. In our study, all GD subjects had normal karyotype according to their biological sex.…”

Context:There is paucity of scientific data from India on gender identity disorders (GIDs) or gender dysphoria (GD).Aims:To study the clinical, biochemical profile, personality characteristics and family support of GID subjects.Settings and Design:A retrospective and cross-sectional study at an endocrine referral center in Kolkata in Eastern India between 2010 and 2015.Subjects and Methods:Seventy-three GID subjects who presented to the center were included in the study. Clinical, biochemical profile, personality characteristics (cross-dressing), and family support were investigated. The protocol was presented to the Ethics Committee who felt that given the retrospective nature of the study, informed consent could be dispensed with. GD was diagnosed by Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Fourth Edition).Statistical Analysis Used:Unpaired t-test has been used to find the significance of study parameters between two groups of patients. Chi-square/Fisher Exact test has been used to find the significance of study parameters on categorical scale between two groups.Results:Out of the total 73 patients, 55 (75.34%) patients were male-to-female and remaining 18 (24.66%) were female-to-male. Around 11% of GD subjects practiced cross-dressing. In spite of median age of onset of GD was 9 years, the mean age of GD at presentation was quite late at 25.77 ± 6.25 years due to lack of social and informative support. It is difficult for transgender to express their sexual identity in family or in society as only 10.96% of our GD subjects had family support, leading to delayed presentation and delayed endocrine consultation. This delayed endocrine consultation have accounted for a significant proportion of GD subjects having unplanned and ill-timed castration (16.36%) or mastectomy (16.67%) even by nonmedically qualified person (66.7% of castrated subjects). All GD subjects had normal thyroid stimulating hormone, testosterone, estradiol, and karyotype concordant with their biological sex. No significant differences were demonstrated between any of the studied parameters namely age at presentation, onset-age of GD, hormone profile, family support, and cross-dressing preferences.Conclusions:Social taboo and lack of informative, family support leads to delayed medical consultation and have accounted for complexities in presentation indicating a huge need of awareness programs in our country. Social and informative support can be improved by awareness programs, which might lead to an early endocrine evaluation and proper treatment with improved outcomes.

“…Transsexual is typically used to describe individuals who use both hormonal and surgical therapy to augment their bodies (Tierney & McCabe, 2005). Gender identity disorder (GID) has been characterized by a strong and persistent identification with the opposite sex and discomfort with one's own sex (Hatami & Ayvazi, 2013;Terada et al, 2012). It revolutionizes the path of the individual's life, causes numerous problems in all physical, mental, social, economic, and family aspects, and may result in an enhanced feeling of dependence, a lessened sense of self-confidence with belitteled, social asset, and an increased sense of vulnerability among patients (Mousavi, Habibollahi, & Ghasemnejad, 2015).…”

A trans identity is now available almost anywhere, and to anyone who does not feel comfortable in the gender role they were attributed with at birth, or has a gender identity at odds with the labels 'man' or 'woman' credited to them by formal authorities. These people face widespread prejudice and discrimination and may be at heightened risk for violence because of their gender identities and expression and there is a pervasive pattern of discrimination and prejudice against trans-people within society. Existing researchers overwhelmingly support that the media play an important role in both legitimizing and determining how issues are framed. The main scoping of the current study aimed to shed some light on different themes that are portrayed in the documentaries in order to analyze the social and personal characteristics of transsexual people in Iran.
