Abstract
Gender discriminating vocabulary tests administered to a consecutive series of 53 male transsexuals showed different results. The Slater Selective Vocabulary Test, Cohen''s factors and the Terman-Miles Attitude Interest Analysis Test (M-F [masculinity-femininity]) showed male transsexuals to have a higher degree of ferminization than normal controls. The Wechsler-Bellevue Vocabulary Test and the Wechsler M-F Test were difficult to interpret, and did not show a clear trend of feminization in transsexual males. Male transsexuals apparently have a vocabulary which differs from that of normal males in the direction of greater feminization.Keywords
