How Do You Consider Sexual Reassignment Surgery If You Are Male To Female Transgender?
Sexual Reassignment Surgery (SRS) for a male-to-female (MTF) transgender person involves removal of the testicles and reconstruction of the penis into a vagina. Of course, this is a huge step meant for someone who suffers from gender dysmorphia: having been born in the body of the sex that is opposite from the one they identify with. Not every transgender person has SRS but most consider it at some point. Undergo long-term therapy with a counselor who can support you through the many stages of transition-from acceptance to hormone therapy to coming out to contemplating surgery. Live as a woman full time. Many take hormones in order to grow breasts and redistribute body fat. Often, therapists and surgeons require clients to be on hormones and live full-time for 1 year as a female before undergoing surgery. Interview surgeons and ask to speak with past clients who have undergone SRS. Consult your insurance company; most do not pay for any part of SRS. Out-of-pocket costs range from $10,0
