Gender identity disorder: a case report

ABSTRACT

We report a case of gender identity disorder in a 22 years old male, who confined himself to his house, dressing, walking, talking and behaving like females. His testes were smaller than normal and his breasts were bigger than the normal size. He was taking estrogens and was reluctant to check his sexual hormone levels.
