Abstract
Manhood and womanhood, and all shades in between, are part of medicine. While solutions are mostly technical and based on insights into biomedical science, issues in medical care arise that cannot currently be satisfactorily solved on the basis of biomedical science alone. Disorders of sexual differentiation and the phenomenon of transsexualism require a different approach. The self-experience of belonging to one sex or the other weighs on the medical decisions to be made for the well-being of subjects in these situations. This marks the point where medicine becomes an art as well as a science. Some may conceive statements of this nature as woolly. It goes without saying that no treatment procedure is beyond verification by biostatistical methods. Increasingly, studies prove that the above approach helps people to live fuller lives.7, 21, 22, 23, 24
