Hello Vickie, I´m Gerti from Germany, a transsexual woman, one of your followers. This time I have a question. I want to know, how is it with the legal way of changing the sex from man to woman? How is the prcedure in your country. In Germany we have two possebilities: 1. the "little way" - you get hormones and later you could change your first name and 2. the "big way" - you gethormones too, later you could make operation on your genitals and than you could change your sex to "woman" in all documents. The problem is. It is a very long way with many legal procedures and one need a lot of nerves. How is it in the United States? Are there possibilities to change your sex more quickly by a shorter way? Many Trans-people are interested to know about this. For your answer I would be thankful perhaps. All the best for you and your friends. Gerti.
It is about the same way here, but I have never heard it described that way before. It is imposable to get government to pay for surgeries and hard to get the insurances companies to pay also. Most go to private clinics and doctors and pay the cost themselves. There are good doctors here, Canada and in Thailand where most go.
It is not really that difficult to transition here if you have the money to pay the doctors and shrinks.

Gerti,

I hope that helps.
