Research Abstract	Heterosexual genital organ transplantation is one of the functional reconstructions for Gender Identity Disorder. We developed a new super-microsurgical testis transfer not sacrificing aorta. In the cases of homosexual testis transfer we recognized testosterone secretion and sperm formation and estrogen secretion and pregnancy in ovary transfer. In the cases of heterosexual testis transfer we recognized testosterone secretion, but we could not recognize cell trafficking phenomenon.
