| | First gender transition operation was performed in the beginning of 1930s of last century. In those years, when opportunities of surgery were rather modest and the risk factor of postoperative complications is very high, decision of Danish artist Einar Mogens Wegener to not only acquire the name Lili Elbe, but also the body of the woman, can be compared to a feat. In a desire to become a compete woman, Lili did not stop before unknown but bravely underwent other experimental operations, one of which was uterus transplantation, which ended unsuccessfully.
Today, gender transition operation is completely proven through sex transformation, with precisely outlined opportunities and the person with clear sex differentiation, distinct from anatomic features of brain, can acquire a body, which he dreamt of. However, before the surgeon starts the operation with dissecting knife, the transsexual should undergo series of tests to define the transsexual's condition.
Diagnostics of transsexuality is key stage, since the errors in diagnosis can become fatal and irreparable, because after the gender transition operation, what little can be done if the patient regrets it. In the beginning, it is necessary to obtain conclusion of several psychiatrists and undergo investigations at specialists of other specializations: check of chromosomal complement and assessment of general health condition.
Only after completion of entire procedure, the person is allowed to transsexual program. First stage of this program is that the future patient of surgical clinic is offered to live for one year as the representative of opposite sex. Then, on the basis of this condition, hormonal therapy is used a. Male sexual hormones long-term action (androgens) are used during female transsexualism and cyclic reception female: estrogens and progesterone are used during male transsexualism.
Use of hormonal drugs is combined with "Cosmetic", external effect: disappearance of menstruation periods, voice coarseness, strengthening the hair distribution of body, increase clitoris during usage of androgens or growth of mammary glands, feminine look of body in case of use of female sexual hormones. These changes facilitate in interpersonal relations in society and adaptation of transsexuals in new appearance. And only after several years, if the person did not change the decision to go ahead with gender transition operation, he is allowed to gender transition through surgery.
In accordance with current legislation, change of civil sex is done even before operation. Even this event renders strong positive psychological and readapting (adaptive) effects.
Similar tactics of preoperational investigations and step-by-step preparation of people, willing to change the gender, is accepted in many countries. It allows not only in avoiding mistake of granting the opportunity to change the gender not only to transsexual but also to help the transsexuals gradually instill into social environment even before operation. Long-term postoperative observations over fate of people, who had undergone gender transition operation, show, that gender change is like a "rebirth", acquiring long-awaited harmony between the appearance and actual content. Certainly, everything is not possible through plastic surgery: reconstruction of genitals and transplantation of sexual glands are not possible even today. But whatever it can do is sufficient enough so that they can find themselves, family and spiritual equilibrium.
