ABSTRACT
A convenience sample of 91 self-identified transsexuals of majority age completed questionnaires that assessed the quality of their family relationships, indices of their well-being (life satisfaction and self-esteem), and demographics. The results indicate mostly favorable family relationships, general satisfaction with their lives, and some potential difficulties in areas related to self-esteem. There were significant relationships between higher perceptions of the quality of one's family relationships and healthier levels of life satisfaction and self-esteem. Implications for practice, education, and research are discussed.
