HARRY BENJAMIN SYNDROME
}}
Harry Benjamin’s Syndrome is an intersex biological condition developed in the early stages of pregnancy affecting the process of sexual differentiation between male and female. This happens when the brain develops as a certain sex but the rest of the body takes on the physical characteristics of the opposite sex. The difference between this and most other intersex conditions is that there is no apparent evidence until much later after the baby is born or even as late as adolescence.
This Syndrome was known in the past under many different names; the most common being transsexualism and by some even as a sub-set of transgenderism. Neither of these is appropriate since one deals with just trans sex and the other lists under its umbrella many sexual variances and elements; none deal with the actual condition of Harry Benjamin Syndrome which is an intersexed anomaly.
As you might imagine, this dichotomy of having a brain of one sex and a body of the other causes great stress in the affected individual.
Since medical science is powerless to realign the brain to match the body, the only way to relieve this stress and allow the individual to live a more normal life, is to surgically alter the body to match the brain.
Today this Syndrome is still wrongly classified as Transsexualism by the ICD-10 or Gender Identity Disorder by the DSM-IV-TR.

Redirect to:

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
  • From the plural form: This is a redirect from a plural noun to its singular form.
    • This redirect link is used for convenience; it is often preferable to add the plural directly after the link (for example, ]s). However, do not replace these redirected links with a simpler link unless the page is updated for another reason (see WP:NOTBROKEN).
    • Use this rcat to tag only mainspace redirects; when plural forms are found in other namespaces, use {{R from modification}} instead.
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
