Transsexual marriage

 

transsexual 變性人

 

例子：A Hong Kong transsexual, identified as “W”, has won the right to marry her boyfriend.

transvestite 易服人士

(noun 名詞)

 

 

 

1) Trans-: on or to the far side of something (i.e. across)

gender change surgery/operation 變性手術

 

例子：“W” underwent gender change surgery at a public hospital a few years ago.

 

要留意的是，雖然 surgery 是手術的統稱，但是「給某身體器官動手術」和「進行傷患手術」應該配搭不同的介詞，看看以下例子：

 

surgery ON body parts

例子：Transsexuals require a long, invasive and painful surgery on their genitals 生殖器官.

 

surgery FOR injuries

例子：The victim is now undergoing a surgery for his chest injuries.

 

IN surgery 接受手術

例子：She was in surgery for two hours on Thursday.

 

surgical (adjective 形容詞)

 

• surgical mask　　　手術口罩
• surgical equipment  手術設備
• surgical treatment　手術治療

 

cosmetic surgery/ plastic surgery 整形手術

例子：South Korea is famous for its cosmetic surgery.

 

gender dysphoria性別不安症/ gender identity disorder 性別認同障礙

 

其實不少變性人都受性別不安症或者性別認同障礙之苦，當中不乏「男人身，女人心」、「女人身，男人心」的例子，又或難以接受本身的性別角色；接受變性手術，是一個出路。

 

例子：Most transsexuals suffer from gender dysphoria which is discontent with the sex they were assigned at birth or the gender roles associated with that sex.

 

 

• gender differences/ distinctions 性別差異
• gender roles 性別角色
• gender inequality/ bias 性別偏見
• gender discrimination性別歧視
• gender stereotype 性別定型

 

pre-operative transsexuals (Pre-op) vs. post-operative transsexuals (Post-op)

 

Pre- 和 post- 兩個前綴分別解「之前」和「之後」，故此 pre-operative transsexuals 是指「手術前變性人」，而 post-operative transsexuals 便是「手術後變性人」了。

 

例子：The Court of Final Appeal ruled that Hong Kong’s current law, which barred post-op from marrying his/her partner, is unconstitutional. Then what about the marriage for pre-op?

 

Court of Final Appeal 終審法院

Unconstitutional 違憲的

 

 

radical change 本質上的改變

 

例子：Including post-operative transsexuals in the definition of “man” and “woman” will be a radical change of the traditional concepts of gender and marriage.
