'''Sexual Reassignment''' is a choice individuals make to their bodies both physically and mentally. The physical component entails removing (or creating) an approximation of the genitals of the opposite sex. The mental component can be as simple as dressing as a member of the opposite sex.
* Crossdressers: Previously known as "[[transvestite]]s," this group of individuals is content with their birth gender, but chooses to dress up as and use the mannerisms of the opposite gender.
* Drag performers: Drag performers, the male half of which is sometimes referred to as "drag queens," are individuals who dress up as and use the mannerisms of the opposite sex for the purpose of entertaining an audience.
* Transsexuals: This group of individuals was born into one gender but identifies emotionally and psychologically with the other.
* Intersexed: An intersexed person is someone who was born with ambiguous genitalia, so doctors assigned him/her a specific gender at birth. Sometimes this assignment doesn't correlate with the biological XX or XY gender. These children are socialized as a certain gender, but as they grow older, they might not necessarily identify as they were assigned and would want to switch to the opposite gender.
