How to Get a Sex Change

Many people today aren't comfortable living as their own gender. Due to modern advances, they no longer have to live feeling like a misfit. Sex change operations are available and affordable to almost everyone. Here's how to start your journey to your true self.

Difficulty: Challenging
Step1
Examine why you want to get a sex change. Make sure it's because of long term, deep rooted feelings and not just a temporary issue.
Step2
Realize that a sex change doesn't involve only physical alteration of the sex organs. It requires daily hormone injections to maintain the overall physical characteristics of the desired sex. There are side effects from the surgery and hormone injections.
Step3
Talk to a therapist about your feelings. Consult more than one, if possible.
Step4
Discuss your feelings with your friends, if you feel safe. Ask for their opinions.
Step5
Look online to find clinics that perform sex change operations. There are clinics overseas, especially in Asia, that have reasonable prices.
Step6
Read online diaries of others who went through the operation. It can help you understand what you might face.
Step7
Join a community in your area or online for people dealing with transgender or sex change issues. Establish a network of support.
Step8
Research methods of paying for your sex change operation. Some medical insurances may cover the procedure. Some large cities cover the cost of sex change operations in their medical benefits as well.
