Gender Change Process: A recent news of gender change has increased the curiosity of people about it. It is reported that Anukaathir Surya, an IRS officer from Hyderabad, has become a man after gender change. This woman had sought permission from the central government for gender change and after getting the permission, she underwent the process of gender change and became Mr. from Miss. Along with this, this officer who has become a man from a woman has even changed his name on government documents. Let us know today how gender change happens, who can get it done and what can be its dangers.
Who can get gender change done?
Health experts say that no one can get their gender changed just like that. The gender change process is called gender reassignment surgery. Gender change can only happen to those people who fall under gender identity disorder. That is, only those people who have gender dysphoria can get this process done.
In gender dysphoria, a woman wants to live like a man and a man wants to live like a woman. Such people feel more comfortable with the opposite sex. The symptoms of gender dysphoria start appearing in a person at the age of 10 to 11 years.
If there is a boy, he likes to dress like a girl, talk like a girl, and behave like a girl. Something similar happens with a girl and she likes to become a boy and live like them. After 18 years, the psychological assessment of the person is done and if he has gender dysphoria, he is allowed to undergo a medical procedure to change his gender.
What is the process for gender change?
The process of gender change is considered to be quite long and expensive. After psychological assessment, the patient is given hormone therapy. Hormone changing medicines are injected into his body. After this, hormonal changes take place in the body and only after this surgery can be done.
If a woman wants to become a man, then there are 33 types of medical processes and if a man wants to become a woman, then he has to go through 18 types of medical processes.
After hormonal changes in the body, the shape of the private part of a man or woman is changed through surgery. Along with the private part, the shape of the patient’s face, hair, ear shape and even the shape of the nails are also changed. If a man is undergoing the procedure to become a woman, then his breasts are made with the help of the flesh of his own body. The surgery to make breasts takes about four to five hours. Usually, people do some essential procedures instead of following all the procedures to become a woman from a man.
If 18 processes are followed, then this process takes up to three years. If a woman wants to become a man, then the work of making her private parts, shaping them, removing breasts and shaping the rest of the organs is quite complicated. This process takes a lot of time and is also quite expensive.
Risks of changing gender
Like other processes, this process also has its own risks. If the surgery to change gender has been done, then the person who has changed from a female to a male cannot become a woman again even if he wants to and he cannot give birth to a child. After the surgery to change gender, many times the risk of infection arises. Along with this, due to incomplete hormonal changes, mental disorders have been seen in people who have changed gender.
