[Transsexualism as an interdisciplinary phenomenon].

The authors express their criticism on the currently prevailing Polish diagnostic and therapeutic criteria of transsexualism. Relying on their clinical experience and expertise (opinions for the court) as well as current literature, they point to the necessity of a discussion between specialists from various medical fields (psychiatry, sexology, urology, surgery, endocrinology, genetics) and humanistic sciences (psychology, sociology, law, ethics) on this interdisciplinary phenomenon.
