| Research Abstract |
In this study, on the background of increasing number of Gender Dysphoria (GD) peoples in the world, the validity of the current gender-reassignment-medicine were discussed and verified by deducing possible etiology of GD from narrative analysis of GD peoples by using a method of medical anthropology through practicing as a trainee doctor in the major hospitals in Thailand that gender-reassignment-surgery had been being carried out as a medical tourism, and then basic knowledge for care and understanding of GD peoples were presented. Our medico-anthropological study seems to suggesting that GD might be a universal phenomenon inherently crossing their gender, and their moral and human experiences might be treated justly with well-defined etiology that was described and discussed in this medical-anthropology studies.
