yes.
A bilateral orchiectomy is commonly performed as one stage in male-to-female (MTF) gender reassignment surgery.
Patients requesting gender reassignment surgery must undergo a lengthy process of physical and psychological evaluation before receiving approval for surgery.
I don't think health insurance covered sex reassignment surgery, but you do need a "transgender" lawyer to help you with legal issues.
Kate Snow never had sex reassignment surgery. She was born female.
I am transgender female and I was born with a penis. Assuming that you understand a trans woman is a male to female transsexual. Before they have Genital Reassignment Surgery trans women have the penis that they are born with. After the surgery the tissue from the penis has been used to create a neovagina that looks and functions just as a natal females vagina. It takes an expert to recognize the difference. Trans women do not have periods and cannot get pregnant, they do not have a uterus.
I'm not sure if one exists.
a lack of preexisting psychopathology
As a Male to Female transsexual I am being administered estrogen and an androgen blocker (stops testosterone) before my gender reassignment surgery. After my surgery I will have to continue to take the estrogen for the rest of my life.
I believe it is in countries such as America, but i do think both your parents/guardians have to give consent and you have to see a psychologist first.
They both had gender reassignment surgery, and are hanging out with Chaz Bono in Copenhagen......
Yes - especially in legal issues.
If surgical candidates are socially or emotionally unstable before the operation, over the age of 30, or have an unsuitable body build for the new gender, they tend not to fare well after gender reassignment surgery.
