Welcome to my site
I am a Male to Female transgendered individual . The sex reassignment is not usually covered by insurance. The reason it is medically necessary is that there are a lot of people that are born one gender, but they feel ,growing up, that they were assigned wrong.This can create many psychological as well as medical problems, including severe depression, social disorders, as well as all the physical problems associated with chronic depression such as stomach problems, even kidney and liver problems.
for more information you may wish to visit http://tarasresources.net . This site has a wealth of wonderful information on it to help you or somebody you know to better understand not only the process, but the needs and thoughts of those, like me, going through this.
this site also has a lot of useful links that you can also use or at the very least check out if your a CD/TV/TG, or know someone who is. One of the useful links for just about everybody http://www.rachelmiller.info/linkso3f-tran.htm .
http://tgmedia.enacre.net/ is also well worth a visit it gives you a little bit of information about people who have undergone the surgery, alongside listing famous individuals you may, or may not have known were trans.
for help and friendly conversation www.Karens-Place.org and/or http://tssociallounge.com is worth a visit and if you're looking for a smaller site try http://www.tgchatroom.com which also has a very friendly attitude. Another page that is very helpful http://www.lauras-playground.com/index.htm I found these chat sites extremely helpful.
But a word of caution to admirers these pages are not dating sites they are there for for the support of the transgendered community, to everybody else bring your families and friends let us help you to educate everybody about GID and how this could be a wonderful experience ,
I am currently unable to work due to a disability that I am trying to get taken care of. Enjoy the chat room and invite your friends If you like you can e-mail me at elisa.mckinney@yahoo.com with questions, to offer support or suggestions.
Please remember, this may seem trivial or even frivolous to you, but it is a matter of life and death to a lot of people.
. If you believe you may be transgendered you really need to talk to a therapist as gender issues can have some far reaching consequences that can screw up your life royally if not handled correctly, if you're unsure you may also wish to try tje test at http://www.transsexual.org . This is by no means a replacement or alternative to professional help,but hey we've all got to start somewhere right?
