Currently, transsexualism is a widely discussed matter in both the fields of medicine and law. This discussion involves different aspects related to the sexual readaptation of carriers of transsexualism, with special emphasis on the right to sexual identity, which is a fundamental right. In 1997, the Federal Council of Medicine of Brazil passed a resolution establishing diagnostic criteria for transsexualism and for the carrying out of surgery for sex reassignment. The surgery is one of the steps of the process of sexual readaptation.
