The ethical problem of transsexualism

Abstract

The ethical problem of transsexualism provokes our reflection to a global and radical evaluation of human being and action. In fact, it is a problem that involves the profound conception we have of man: the anthropological vision that acts as a frame of reference for our moral evaluations and choices. With transsexualism, the very way of seeing and wanting human existence is at stake. It is therefore a problem that exceeds itself by rebounding on the global conception of the human person, which it itself contributes to changing.
