Are transsexuals schizophrenics

If so, then it is two different situations. Transsexualism and schizophrenia are two different issues, but it is possible for a person to have both.

The transsexual person has a life-long conviction that they were born with the wrong body. They seek transition and surgery to treat it, and such treatment relieves them of their distress. Schizophrenia is an acquired mental health condition that rarely occurs before adulthood, which means a person has a hard time perceiving reality as it is and may have delusions and paranoia.

In one case history of comorbidity of transsexualism and schizophrenia, a patient had a rather normal life until their late teens or so, and they even went onto have some medical training. While they expressed the desire to get sex-reassignment, they also exhibited delusions, hallucinations, paranoid thoughts, etc. The doctors ignored the transsexualism and assumed the gender dysphoria was just another symptom of his main illness. After being ignored on the transsexualism, this person took matters into their own hands and performed surgery on themselves in the basement of their mother's house. This person was discovered unconscious and bleeding and was taken to the hospital. There a surgeon thought this person was intersexed and help with hormones and surgery. As long as they stayed on their medicine, the schizophrenic characteristics could be controlled. She had days where she was inserting objects into her vagina where she claimed to be trying to "reach [her] uterus," and more lucid days where she claimed she was only trying to stretch her vagina to keep it from closing, and that she might be able to get pregnant if they ever figured out how to transplant a uterus inside her. So the female identity was stable and remained as her mental health varied.
