据卫生部网站昨天发布的通知,中国已经开始发行关于变性手术的临床指南。
卫生部正在征集公众意见草稿和专业的指导。即将到来的方针旨在规范变性手术,这是一种为变性人进行的性别错位症的治疗。
专家估计,近2,000名中国人已经历了变性手术而10~40万人仍在考虑之中。然而,并无相关的官方报道。在草案中卫生部为进行手术的候选人和医疗机构制定了最低标准。
起草方针中规定手术候选人必须超过20岁,并且单身。他们还要求要对性变化有持久的热情,生活至少连续五年的新性别角色,并从事心理疗法至少一年。
在手术开始之前和一系列有关治疗的方案讨论完之后,候选人必须要接受心理学家对手术提出的建议。
同时,法律或法规中的条文也必须遵守。
手术候选人必须向警察提供证据,证明进行变性手术的他或她过去并无任何的犯罪行为。
