Transsexualism - how a parent and his child experience his or her gender reassingment
LABURDA, Michal
This bachelor's thesis focus on the experience of children whose parents have gone through or are going through the process of gender reassignment and at the same time focuses on the parents themselves who have undergone or are undergoing the process of gender reassignment. The aim of the work was to map how children experience the gender reassignment of parents, especially how they feel about this situation, whether the relationship between the child and the parent has changed and also what difficulties they face due to the change of parents. A partial goal was also to find out what assumptions of transgender parents themselves about the experience of their children in relation to their transition. Data collection was performed using semi-structured interviews. These data were then analyzed using content analysis and processed in the form of case studies. The results show that most children did not experience their parent´s sex change negatively. However, they faced a number of difficulties, which greatly affected their experience.

Transsexuality in law
Nguyenová, Nikola ; Šustek, Petr (advisor) ; Hendrychová, Michaela (referee)
Transsexuality in law Abstract Gender reassignment is a topical issue that concerns only a relatively small number of people and is not given the necessary attention in the Czech legal environment, although the legislation is insufficient for a long time and does not comply with internationally recognized human rights standards. The legal system is based on the binary concept of gender and trans people are often unable to place themselves within it. The title of the thesis reflects the legal situation of trans people in the Czech Republic, as the legislation pays attention only to transsexuals and allows them to achieve life in the official gender they identify as. The law forgets other trans people who, for various reasons, do not wish to undergo surgical gender reassignment and, due to unfavorable legislation, have to deal with unpleasant and humiliating situations and discrimination. The thesis provides an explanation of the terminology of the issue, a description of the process of gender reassignment and an analysis of the legal status of transgender people in the Czech Republic with an emphasis on a critical analysis of key aspects of gender reassignment. In addition, the provisions of the Czech legislation in the Civil Code, the Act on Specific Health Services, the Act on Registries and the Act on...

Approaches to Dream Reality and Content of Transsexual Peoples' Dreams
Šubrt, Miroslav ; Hrubý, Radovan (advisor) ; Doubek, David (referee)
The subject of this study are dreams, specifically their content in transgender people. The study asks if the content of their dreams could be interpreted in the context of their lives. It submits a summary of historical approaches to dreaming and views of the major psychological schools. The presented empirical research has a character of a triple case study while the mixed design was used and it is based on assumption of Hall's continuity hypothesis. The core of this work is use of a dream content analysis created by Hall and Van de Castle on dream series produced by one transgender FtM person in order to seek differences in many indexes from norms. Analysis revealed many differences from male norms, especially in the Familiar Setting Percent and Dead and Imaginary Percent. The quantitative part is accompanied by a qualitative content analysis which was applied to the dreams of already mentioned person and remaining two MtF participants. It showed themes related to confusion of mental and physical identity,doubts and interpersonal conflicts which are, according to the author, directly related to transsexuality.

Transsexualismus
ČERNOHORSKÁ, Lucie
This bachelor thesis deals with the issue of transsexualism, also known as gender dysphoria. The theoretical part tackles the questions of gender identity and role, which are followed by the introduction of the historical development and the definition of the term transsexualism. Following the summary of the psychological and biological perspectives on the problematics, the thesis approaches the questions of trans people in the population, the differences between the selected states of the world and the phases of gender reassignment. The theoretical part is then concluded by summarising the legal aspects of transsexualism. The empirical part of the thesis offers insight to the lives of trans people by using semi-structured dialog. Its aim is to present individual processes of recognising and dealing with gender dysphoria by each of the respondents, their views on the transgender people community and the reactions of others. Furthermore, it strives to compare trans men's and trans women's answers.

Distribution of intelligence and of the personality traits in FtM and MtF transsexuals
Novák, Marek ; Weiss, Petr (advisor) ; Kebza, Vladimír (referee)
The thesis deals with the differences between Female-to-Male (FtM) and Male-to-Female (MtF) transsexuals, focusing on their intelligence and personality traits. The aim of the study was to compare the results between male and female transsexuals in these two areas and to recognize if the distribution of given personality traits corresponds more to their biological sex or to the gender identity. In the theoretical part of the work, studies about males and females in the population are presented and put into a broader context of the studies concerning FtM and MtF transsexuals, while using all accessible literature. The research comprises of data comparison of 200 transsexuals (100 MtF and 100 FtM) using Raven's Progressive matrices and DOPEN questionnaire. The results were evaluated by the statistical analysis and were later compared to the norms for men and women in population. There were found no differences in intelligence in both groups of transsexuals. Both groups' intelligence (IQ 117) is slightly above-average. Using the Raven's Progressive matrices, higher variability of results was measured in the MtF group. Male-to-Female transsexuals reached significantly higher scores in neuroticism compared to Female-to-Male group. This scale was identified as significantly higher in both groups when...
