Extensive media coverage of a prisoner in the United States being allowed to have a six change paid for by the taxpayers and a U.K. man having a six reassignment surgery on the NHS has brought the operation back into the public’s awareness.
Anyone considering this surgery should understand that changing one’s six only works out well over the long-term for people with realistic expectations. Most surgeons insist upon a barrage of medical and psychological tests to ensure a person is a good candidate for surgery.
There are medical risks with the surgery as well. Complications can range from minor infections to permanent uncorrectable damage. Once the surgery is finished, there is after-care. Anyone considering having the operation done overseas to save money should find a skilled doctor in their native country wiling to oversee the after-care before making arrangements for surgery.
People also need to understand that once the change their six surgically, and discrimination, intolerance and harassment they once experienced will not go away, it may intensify. six reassignment surgery changes nothing about a person’s life expect what six they may legally call themselves.
Finally, having the government pay for this surgery is extremely rare. The entire process, including counseling, hormonal therapy, the surgery, and after-care is very expensive. There have been cases of people who have run out of money, some because they were fired from their job, while having hormone therapy. Stuck with a changing body and unable to find work, they were at the mercy of friends and family. Never attempt even the first steps without support and careful planning and budgeting.
