This happens when the brain develops as a certain sex but the rest of the body takes on the physical characteristics of the opposite sex. The difference between this and most other intersex conditions is that there is no apparent evidence until much later after the baby is born or even as late as adolescence. Genetic etiology for this condition has been proved by very recent medical research.&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over 60 years of medical research regarding Transsexualism (modern HBS) specify that there is NO evidence whatsoever that any psychological or environmental factors cause Transsexualism-HBS. All of the medical research done to date indicates conclusively that physiological (neurological, genetic) factors are the sole cause of Transsexualism-HBS.&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Transsexualism (HBS) is now regarded by the world&amp;#39;s leading experts in the field as another of the many biological variations that occur in human sexual formation -an intersex condition- where the sex indicated by the phenotype and genotype is opposite the morphological sex of the brain. People with the condition of transsexualism (HBS) are therefore born with both male and female characteristics and, like many others with atypical sexual development, seek rehabilitation of their phenotype and endocrinology to accord with their dominant sexual identity; an identity which is determined by the structure of the brain. Transsexualism (HBS) is about being a particular sex, not doing it. It is also about recognising gender norms, not challenging them.&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Transsexuality&amp;quot; is a phenomenon that occurs in the animal kingdom (e.g. certain amphibious, birds, oysters) that consists of a change of natural sex in the species. Popularly, we apply it also to humans when speaking of people who &amp;quot;change their sex&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;Transsexuality&amp;quot; is a generic term that applies to all kinds of species and variations, while &amp;quot;Transsexualism&amp;quot; is a much more precise medical term, which we should use exclusively for people with the condition of&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Transsexualism&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;- more&amp;nbsp; properly&amp;nbsp; defined&amp;nbsp; today&amp;nbsp; as&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Harry Benjamin&amp;#39;s Syndrome&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, as it follows the naming conventions of intersex conditions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore,&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Harry Benjamin&amp;#39;s Syndrome&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;should not be confused with transgenderism or transsexuality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We the undersigned demand you full recognition of Harry Benjamin&amp;#39;s Syndrome as a genuine inborn intersexual condition, not linked to transgenderism or transsexuality, as well as the removal of this condition from the psychiatric classification, in order to advance in the human and medical understanding and treatment of this condition world-wide.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;La sindrome di Harry Benjamin&lt;/a&gt; (HBS) &amp;egrave; una condizione intersessuale congenita che ha origine durante lo sviluppo prenatale, e coinvolge la differenziazione delle identit&amp;agrave; di genere maschile e femminile nel cervello. L&amp;rsquo;incidenza stimata della HBS &amp;egrave; di 1 su 100.000 nascite.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;word-spacing: 0px; font: 16px &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; text-transform: none; color: #000000; text-indent: 0px; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; border-collapse: separate; orphans: 2; widows: 2; webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px&quot; class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt; &lt;p&gt;In parole povere, una ragazza con HBS avrebbe un&amp;rsquo;identit&amp;agrave; di genere neurologica femminile, mentre i genitali sarebbero maschili. Allo stesso modo, i ragazzi con questa condizione hanno genitali femminili associati con un&amp;rsquo;identit&amp;agrave; di genere neurologica maschile.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Al momento, non &amp;egrave; possibile diagnosticare questa condizione al tempo della nascita. Cos&amp;igrave;, i bambini vengono cresciuti nel ruolo di genere opposto a quello della loro identit&amp;agrave; neurologica di genere. Questo spesso porta a problemi psicologici non collegati alla HBS stessa.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;L&amp;rsquo;identit&amp;agrave; di genere &amp;egrave; una funzione puramente neurologica, senza fattori psicologici annessi.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Perci&amp;ograve;, sono fattori neurologici a determinare l&amp;rsquo;identit&amp;agrave; di genere, non le strutture anatomiche dei genitali. La struttura fisica del cervello, come il sistema nervoso centrale, fissano l&amp;rsquo;identit&amp;agrave; di genere. Dato che non c&amp;rsquo;&amp;egrave; evidenza palese al momento della nascita, &amp;egrave; difficile per i dottori diagnosticare la condizione, abbastanza diversamente da altre condizioni intersessuali.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;La sindrome di Harry Benjamin non &amp;egrave; una malattia o un disordine, e non dovremmo considerarla tale, ma piuttosto una variazione fisiologica della costituzione sessuale umana, come nel caso di altre sindromi intersessuali. Quando, su questa pagina, parliamo del &amp;ldquo;soffrire della HBS&amp;rdquo;, ci riferiamo alla sofferenza causata dall&amp;rsquo;incongruenza fisica che le persone nate con questa condizione subiscono, e non ad una spiegazione patologica per la HBS.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#a01133&quot;&gt;Deutsch:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;word-spacing: 0px; font: 16px &#39;times new roman&#39;; text-transform: none; color: #000000; text-indent: 0px; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; border-collapse: separate; orphans: 2; widows: 2; webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px&quot; class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial&quot; class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;times new roman,times&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Harry Benjamin-Syndrom&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;ist eine Bedingung von entwickeltem&amp;nbsp;intersex in den fr&amp;uuml;heren Phasen von der Schwangerschaft dass sensibilisieren den Prozess von Geschlechtsem&amp;nbsp;differenzierung zwischen Feder und Nut.&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.shb-info.org/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/etiology-definition.pdf&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;times new roman,times&quot; color=&quot;#000066&quot;&gt;Dieser gescheht als der Gehirn entwickelt wie ein bestimmt Geschlecht, aber der Rest vom K&amp;ouml;rper &amp;uuml;bernimmt die physikalischen Merkmale vom gegen&amp;uuml;berliegenden Geschlecht&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;times new roman,times&quot;&gt;.
