Abstract

The phenomenon of gender reassignment among youth has spread globally, including cases of gender correction for intersexual individuals. Given the importance of gender correction as a form of treatment and the risks associated with gender reassignment, this study aimed to review the key educational needs of a case involving gender correction from intersexual to male, where medical procedures were conducted to correct the individual's gender. The study utilized a descriptive methodology, specifically the case study approach. Personal in-depth interviews were used as a tool to collect data from the gender correction case under investigation. The study concluded that the most significant educational needs included acceptance of adversity, contentment, and enhancing feelings of psychological security and peace of mind and undergoing procedures to lengthen and modify the penis. The study recommended the importance of sexual education for children from an early age.
