“我们现在可以明确给出一个答复,变性人的出现不是由于荷尔蒙分泌失衡。”本文的作者洛杉矶儿童医院的Johanna Olson 博士对此坚定不移。Olson博士和他的同事们进行的这项研究,重点关注的是评估帮助跨性别病人确定性别这一治疗措施的安全性和有效性及变性人的心理问题。处于青春期的变性人可以用促性腺激素释放激素(GnRH)类似物治疗,以抑制并延迟身体在青春期产生的物理变化。当人们觉得自己的性别身份



“我们现在可以明确给出一个答复,变性人的出现不是由于荷尔蒙分泌失衡。”本文的作者洛杉矶儿童医院的Johanna Olson 博士对此坚定不移。Olson博士和他的同事们进行的这项研究,重点关注的是评估帮助跨性别病人确定性别这一治疗措施的安全性和有效性及变性人的心理问题。

处于青春期的变性人可以用促性腺激素释放激素(GnRH)类似物治疗,以抑制并延迟身体在青春期产生的物理变化。当人们觉得自己的性别身份和他们出生时的性别不符合时,他们会觉得焦虑和抑郁,由此每年都有越来越多的年轻人会寻求此类的激素治疗。

Olson博士说:“虽然跨性别的青年人知道他们是出现抑郁症、焦虑症、自杀的高危人群,但是我们对变性青年的心理特征及寻求变性措施的相关数据并不了解。”

为了填补这一知识空白,研究人员招募了101为年龄在12-24岁的变性人参与实验。51.5%的患者出生时被定为男性也被确定为变性女,48.5%的患者出生时被定为女性也被确定为变性男。通过对相关生理参数进行测量,研究人员发现,参与人员的激素水平同普通人(未跨性别)处在同一水平。跨性男同单性人有着相同的激素含量水平,跨性女与同性人也是。研究人员指出,大多数参与者都存在肥胖或超重,因此研究人员认为,参与者很可能是想通过肥胖或超重的外表来掩饰自己的身体特征。

平均而言,参与者在8岁时发现了他们与普通人的性别差异,但是直到他们17岁时才告诉家人。同时研究人员发现,35%的参与者自诉出现抑郁症状,一半以上的人有过自杀倾向,这些发病率显著高于正常人。

“考虑到变性青年要在发现身体变化后10年左右才告知家人,因此他们会采取一些不适用于他们本人的应对机制来封闭自己的内心并深藏这一秘密也不稀奇。”作者写道。因此时刻关注变性人的心理变化,对他们进行心理关怀和心理疏导,时刻警惕他们心理问题的患病率是很有必要的。
现在已经确定参与者的基础心理特征,研究人员将继续进行随访,以评估他们所接受的任何治疗措施的安全性和有效性,同时探究他们所接受的治疗措施对生活的影响。

Olson博士说道:“我们的目标是让那些跨性别的孩子生下来并能够勇敢地活下去。我们希望通过这项研究能够有更多的发现,并找到解决他们心理问题的最好的方法。”

研究人员将现在及后续研究的所有数据都收集下来,并呼吁医疗部门为变性人提供关爱,并将变性人的就诊信息保存下来便于后续研究。
