However, a few guidelines apply. Generally, patients present for surgery during late adolescence or early adulthood - an age group where sexuality must begin to manifest itself physically and the issue is no longer merely one of psychological and emotional conflict with one's sexuality. The sexual urge in this age group of transsexuals is as strong as in those with normal sexuality. This is what causes frustration and depression. Many patients already have a sexual partner when they present for operation. It is important to note that transsexuals do not usually engage in homosexual activity. They would like to change their gender and have peno-vaginal intercourse.Exceptionally, operation is undertaken in older patients. This is usually in those who were unaware of the concept of gender reassignment surgery. When they come to know that it is possible, they turn up for operation. If they fulfill other criteria and psychiatrists give the go ahead, they are taken up for operation.PRE-REQUISITES TO BE CONSIDERED</blockquote>
