[Legal basis for ontogenetic sex judgment in sex disapproval syndrome in the form of transsexualism. Comparison of the situation in Poland and in some other countries].

Sex disapproval syndrome in the form of transsexualism is characterized by incompatibility of biological and psychically-emotional sex. This incompatibility leads to a discrepancy between one's social role and his or her biological sex. The aim of this paper is to present and compare the legal basis for ontogenetic sex judgment in the sex disapproval syndrome in the form of transsexualism in Poland and in some other countries. Poland, contrary to some other countries, does not have any appropriate legislation for determining the above issue. So far all judgment has been based on exponential activities, in anticipation for the so called transsexual act. This act may be created on the basis of existing legislation in other European countries, which is briefly presented in the work.
