Medical Anthropology for Transgender Health in Thailand and Japan.

本研究在全球性别焦虑（Gender Dysphoria， GD）人群数量不断增加的背景下，通过在泰国各大医院实习医生的实践，运用医学人类学的方法，从GD人群的叙事分析中推断出GD可能的病因，探讨并验证了目前性别重置医学的有效性，性别重置手术作为一种医疗旅游一直在进行。然后介绍了护理和了解GD人群的基本知识。我们的医学人类学研究似乎表明，GD可能是一种固有的跨越性别的普遍现象，他们的道德和人类经历可以用医学人类学研究中描述和讨论的明确的病因来公正对待。

In this study, on the background of increasing number of Gender Dysphoria (GD) peoples in the world, the validity of the current gender-reassignment-medicine were discussed and verified by deducing possible etiology of GD from narrative analysis of GD peoples by using a method of medical anthropology through practicing as a trainee doctor in the major hospitals in Thailand that gender-reassignment-surgery had been being carried out as a medical tourism, and then basic knowledge for care and understanding of GD peoples were presented. Our medico-anthropological study seems to suggesting that GD might be a universal phenomenon inherently crossing their gender, and their moral and human experiences might be treated justly with well-defined etiology that was described and discussed in this medical-anthropology studies.
