Abstract
Transgenderism is a difficult issue in medicine, although it has accompanied humans almost since the beginning of mankind. It includes transsexualism – incompatibility of mental sex and registered sex. Transgender people seek to change their gender through hormone therapy and surgery. In their work, physiotherapists may encounter transgender people at various stages of therapy. In order to avoid causing additional psychological burden for transgender patients, it is necessary for physiotherapists to know the specifics of transsexualism and the issues they should pay attention to while practicing their profession. The aim of the work is to show what transgenderism is and how a physiotherapist should work with transgender people.
