Applications for Sex Change Rising
A growing number of transsexuals are applying to courts for gender switch....
The number of gender change applications is expected to grow further, as it is estimated there may be up to 30,000 transsexuals in the nation.

The Californian (or maybe Los Angelos) government now pays for sex changes using American tax dollars. It's included under the health care now.

There's more to it than just that.

There's a very lengthy process to it and you must PROVE that you really are trapped in the body of the wrong sex. (however it is people do that) hahaha.

Real Reality does this stuff all the time Smile People purposly take his topics off-topic just for that reason. Actually, we are still trying to figure out if RR is actually a programmed AI that searches the internet for articles on Korea.

Actually the test is very simple to administer. The doctor puts his head against the patient's abdomen and says, "knock three times if you can hear me. OK, good. Now, knock twice more if you want me to start the genital incision."

I go back on topic after this, but it's 2 years of maintaining the persona and being on either testosterone or estrogen. You then need a psychaitrist to OK it.

I've heard that the process is quite easy in Korea since a good number of men are most of the way there already. In fact, this might be the only country where it is an out-patient procedure. They give the guy a tube of lipstick and a set of heals and send him on his way.

Especially if an English teacher has sex with one and posts pics on the net.
