Subject field(s)
  • Names of Special Years, Weeks, Days
  • Phobias
  • Sexology
OBS

Homophobia is an insidious phenomenon that has succeeded in taking hold in a subtle, discreet and often invisible manner. Nobody is really immune from hostile manifestations toward homosexuality. And, suprisingly, some homosexual persons are adopting homophobic behaviour to shield themselves from negative reactions that others might have. The National Day Against Homophobia will try to reach out to everybody regardless of sexual orientation.

OBS

L'homophobie est un phénomène insidieux qui a su se frayer des chemins subtils, discrets et habituellement invisibles. Il n'y a personne à l'abri de manifestations hostiles envers l'homosexualité. Et, fort surprenant, certaines personnes homosexuelles elles-mêmes adoptent des comportements homophobes pour se mettre à l'abri de réactions dont elles pourraient être l'objectif de la part de leur entourage. Une Journée nationale de lutte contre l'homophobie cherchera à rejoindre toutes les clientèles indépendamment de leur orientation sexuelle.

Subject field(s)
  • Psychology (General)
CONT

Primary transsexualism is demonstrated by a life-long fixed and consistent cross-gender identification, whereas secondary transsexualism is generally associated with self-stigmatized, ego-dystonic, homophobic homosexuals or guilt-ridden transvestites, seeing sex reassignment as the only solution to their dilemma. It is estimated that 30-35% of sex reassignment applicants are self-stigmatized, homophobic homosexuals or guilt-ridden transvestites. [Pauly, I. "Gender identity disorders. "In Farber, M.(ed.). Human Sexuality : Psychosexual Effects of Disease. Macmillan, New York, pp. 295-316(1985) ;Pauly, I. and Edgerton, M. T. "The Gender Identity Movement : A Growing Surgical-Psychiatric Liaison, "15(4) Archives of Sexual Behavior 315(1986), cited in INTERNET]

CONT

Anatomically normal males who do not fit the clinical description for primary transsexualism but who nonetheless request sex reassignment on the basis of feeling a powerful feminine urge are classified as secondary transsexuals.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Psychologie (Généralités)
CONT

La seule justification des interventions endocrino-chirurgicales étant le bien-être et l'adaptation psychosociale des patients, il est essentiel de suivre longuement et de façon systématique tous les patients opérés. Les premières séries publiées étaient trop favorables et de peu de valeur méthodologique. C'est seulement récemment que plusieurs revues de la littérature ont essayé de faire le point [...] Lothstein est très critique et estime qu'il est quasiment impossible de tirer des conclusions valables des publications actuelles. Il y aurait trop de flou et il serait impossible de savoir si les patients ont présenté un transsexualisme primaire ou secondaire.

CONT

Primary transsexualism is the most extreme form of gender reversal. Anatomically normal males who know that they are anatomically normal nonetheless feel within themselves that they are somehow female, and therefore, they make every effort to arrange that their bodies conform with their gender identity.

Précisons que ce transsexualisme primaire du type Stoller est certainement une rareté. La plupart des autres cas entrent dans le cadre de la "dysphorie de genre".
