Open publisher page 93 citations

Abstract

The difficulty in calculating the incidence and prevalence of transsexualism is obvious. Those figures which can be arrived at are always minimal values, and a group of persons with transsexual symptomatology, which are most difficult to assess, will always elude the calculations.
