Case Report of a Female-to-Male Transsexual Homicide Offender

Pages 661-665 | Published online: 08 Jun 2010
 

Abstract

A 22 year old female-to-male half-Aboriginal transsexual had been exposed to gross neglect and violence, separation and inconsistent cultural supports during childhood. Her mother had also been convicted of homicide in a context of alcohol and violence. Transsexual identification, antisocial behaviours, self mutilation, substance abuse and unmet dependency needs were evident from childhood or early adolescence. The killing was a confrontational peer group stabbing in a brawl under influence of alcohol - the male mode of homicide. This is the first known case in world literature of a female-to-male transsexual guilty of homicide.
