Transgender

Interesting topic. We spent some time on it in school as T/G, like addiction, comes under the umbrella of mental health issues. As part of the overall suitability psych evaluation to take part in a T/G program there should be a substance use assessment. That leads me to believe the fellow who called me hadn't had it or hadn't been upfront and honest about his use / abuse of alcohol to those assessing him.

One thing the doctors don't want post-surgery if for someone to come out of the ether asking, "You let me do WHAT? Couldn't you tell I'm crazy? alcoholic? addicted?"

Apparently the surgical advances in recent years put the results light-years ahead of what things were like when they began doing these surgeries.
