Abstract

This is a first report of the aeromedical implications of an airman undergoing gender transformation. It is clear that during the period of instituting high-dose hormones to undergo sexual transformation appropriate observation periods should be implemented due to the strong effects of these drugs on the psyche.

Keywords: Gender dysphoria, aeromedical certification.
