Exactly what verification of a psych's letter do you think a surgeon does for a sex change??

Here is a wealth of information//www.transgendercare.com/default.asp

Do this test online: http://transsexual.org/cogiati_english.html

Oh I meant ... I know what I am and I am well and truly ready to have 'the op' ... I have alcohol'd my testes and they are tiny and lumpy/hard. I have been ready for a long time ... I was wondering what verification of the required letter from a psych can occur.... I hate to be dishonest but I really hate been poked around at by mental health people... I scored really highly on the test btw..

Welcome to the club of small lumpy testicles!

If you look at the mental health stuff the will simply go through your background and establish whether you really want this and are a candidate for SRS. I don't think there is anything too scary. There is the insidtence that you live full time as a woman for between 1-2 years depending where you are.

I have spent a lot of time with a gender therapist and it was not at all scary and did me a lot of good. It is taking the first step that is the hardest.

Call a surgeon who does gender reassignment surgery, tell him or her where you are in your travel and ask to be recommended a psych for your clearance letter.

Yes that test should be in a sticky somewhere.

So should the below... Directory of sympathetic Online Therapists ... I think I will actually go have a session with one and see how it goes....

I think the scores are something like this:-

-650 to -389 Class 1 (Definite Male)

-390 to -129 Class 2 (Feminine Male)

-130 to 129 Class 3 (Androgyne)

130 to 389 Class 4 (Probable Transsexual)

390 to 650 Class 5 (Classic Transsexual)

The sexual gratification-based, fetishitic transvestite would fit Class 1

The mostly sexual / fetishistic but slightly gender involved crossdresser fits Class 2

The serious transgenderist fits Class 3

The most common type of transsexual (well over 70%) fits Class 4

The rarest, early onset, 'classic model of early research' transsexual fits Class 5
