摘　　要：随着社会经济和医疗技术的飞速发展,性别变更医疗行为一方面给予了个人选择自己性别的权利的可能,另一方面也给社会带来了诸如性别证明、婚姻、亲属关系、就业、社会福利等一系列法律问题。目前,我国法律对变性手术实施的对象、法律条件、法律程序等缺乏明确的法律规定,如何让“变性”、法律、社会三者相互协调,既保证公民选择自己性别的权利,又保障整个社会的协调发展以达到个人与社会的双赢,是一个值得研究的问题。我国可以借鉴在考察外国相关立法,从性别变更医疗行为的范围、条件和程序诸方面进行规范。Along with rapid development of social economy and medical technology, sex change surgery comes into being. On the one hand, it grants individuals an option to determine his/her sexuality, on the other hand, it presents many legal problems, including sex identification, marriage, kindred, employment, social welfare, etc. Given no express provision can be found in China＇ s existing law concerning the receiver, legal requirements and procedure of a sex change operation, it is of great importance for us to study, while ensuring that society develops smoothly and the mutual benefits of individuals and society are reaped, how to balance sex-change, law and society and how to secure that citizens have right to determine his/her sex. After considering the problems arising out of or pertaining to sex-change surgery and referring to some foreign laws, this paper suggests that we should make a law to regulate sex change surgery in the aspects of its range, conditions and procedures.
