TRANSSEXUALISM AS A SUBJECT OF SCIENTIFIC CULTURE RESEARCH
Abstract
The sexual culture of the world's peoples is multifaceted, and its study poses a number of sensitivities for scholars in Muslim societies, including the problem of non-public discussion. The rise of sexuality research is interconnected with the globalization of information technology, feminist ideology, and human rights and freedoms. In the 1980 s, it became the subject of heated debate among dozens of physicians and psychologists, with the adoption of a law on transsexuality, the "ghosts" of which are already haunting the countries of Central Asia. However, the issue of gender dysphoria (sex reassignment disorder), diagnosis, and treatment remains an unresolved global problem. Non-traditional sexual orientation is viewed as a personal matter, a right to change one's innate gender, and a psychological disillusionment with one's own gender and a sense of comfort with the opposite sex. Transsexualism is most common among middle-aged men who readily renounce their natural male gender and adopt the lifestyle and thoughts of the opposite sex. The popularization of transsexualism in the "new waves of post-industrialism" poses serious challenges to social progress, threatening the fundamental foundations of family and marriage, and the hybridization of feminism and masculinity. The sexual deconstruction of masculinity and femininity in the structure of social life eliminates traditional narratives of the biophysiological and social identity of men and women, manifesting in a profound social crisis of the entire societal system. The need to find answers to the global challenges of transsexualism is driven by the exclusion of transsexuality from the list of mental disorders in the International Classification of Diseases, 11th edition, which contradicts the lifestyle, thought, and culture of Muslim society. The purpose of this article is to analyze transsexualism in the context of the social and human sciences as a psychological disorder, an antisocial phenomenon characterized by the loss of ethno-confessional identity. The development of prevention principles for this disorder is a central part of the government's social policy. The authors outline the main principles of diagnosis and prevention of sexual pathology and recommend treatment for sexual addiction in the public health sector.
