Gay and lesbians please answer?

If your partner decides to change gender, does this change you emotion towards them. For example this pregnant man in the news lately. If his partner was really a lesbian then wouldn't she not be interested in him as he is a man? Also if you are a gay man in a relationship and your partner decides to become a female, how would you feel considering you aren't attracted to women?Gay and lesbians please answer?
I'm a lesbian and if I was with a girl who wanted to start living as a man I'd find it weird. Without being in that situation I can't say whether I would want to break up with them but yes, weird.

But let's just accept everyone. If a women wants to call herself a lesbian but be with a man then whatever I don't care.Gay and lesbians please answer?
I'm sorry I like men, but If my partner suddenly come home and said ''Honey i want you to call me Tammie instead of Tommy.'' Heck id just have to divorce him..
hahahahahahahahah
different individuals feel differently about this issue. about the pregnant man, i was reading about him too and when he changed from a woman he wanted to keep all of his femal sexual reproduction organs so that he could still have a child. so maybe that's why his wife stayed with him, he still had a vagina, not a penis, and a sex change wouldn't change the personality or quality of the person, would it? so i guess when you're in love with some one as much as they appear to be, it doesn't really matter what your partner does, so long as they still love you and you still love them. but obviously people will differ on this. it just depends on the character of the people involved and the amount of love that circulates between them.
I sometimes wonder too, but remember that sexuality and gender can be very complicated issues in many cases. Beneath it all we are all just human beings in search of love and acceptance, no matter what the circumstances. Maybe the lesbian/trans man couple just love each other, even though it doesn't seem to make logical sense to us.
I am a lesbian, all woman, I don't want a want-to-be anything. I am with a woman because that is what I am, I would be crushed is a woman I was with suddenly decided she wanted to do the whole change, and though I would support her through it I would no longer desire her in any way. The person you are talking about and his wife are just fine by me. He has been making the change and for some reason stopped where he did. It was a good thing and shows emotional and a healthy psyche when it comes to who he is and to be able to step up and provide the means for them to have a child. I think it is a statement to his love for his wife. He may be bombarded with people against the idea, but they don't live with him, doing what he is is not going to make it an everyday occurance. It does not make him less of a man, or more a woman. He is as he is. People need to start understanding their own emotional being and being in sync with themselves before they start in on other people. I am ao afraid that some lunatic is going to try to do something to him or his family because of them coming out of the shadows in into the main stream. I pray the have the child and can once more fade into the normal mainstream of people with out harm.
Yeah, I think there'd be issues there.

How much does a doctor's note normally cost?

I'm just wondering cos I need my GP to write me a note before my 18th birthday so i can have my gender change to female on my passport at 18.



I can't wat.



How much does a Doctor's note generally cost anyway? Cos my mum said you have to pay.



Btw, i've checked already that my GP is eligible to write that note, but i do need to prove to him that the change to my passport will be permanent.



Btw, also i live in the UK.How much does a doctor's note normally cost?
There is no fixed fee for such a service. The payment requested would be entirely at the doctors discretion.

G.I.D. and gender changes?

I will remain completely anonymous on this question, so no answers are biased. A few questions I would like answered are as follows:

- Should one contact a psychologist if they feel as though they have a G.I.D.?

- Does health insurance cover any of the procedures if one is to actually be diagnosed with G.I.D.?

- How long does a full gender change take?

- What are your additional views on this?



More questions may be posted, that's all I could think of at the moment.G.I.D. and gender changes?
1. Depends on where you live. In the USA the first step is seeing a GENDER therapist:



http://www.DrBecky.com/therapists.html





In Canada and England you start by seeing your doctor and asking to be referred to the gender clinic or specialistbecause you believe yourself to be transsexual.



And don't say GID because our identities are not ';disordered'; the medical nomenclature is.





2. Most (95%) do not. In the US this is slowly changing, but it will be another decade before coverage becomes more common. The AMA came out in support of transsexualism last year (Resolution 122) and called for the insurance industry to end it's exclusionary policies.





3. It takes time and money. My transition took 4.5 years and about $80,000. Nobody transitions overnight, that is a myth.





4. I think that's pretty self-evident as I am fully transitioned myself.







You can find answers to a lot of questions here:

If you're serious, and believe you would like to get a gender change, consult a psychologist. To be qualified for the surgery, you must have written consent of two psychologists. They will place you on hormones beforehand, especially if you're FTM. Health insurance does not cover GID procedures, because it is still considered as a cosmetic procedure, so be prepared to pay out of pocket. The road of changing one's gender is long, and tiresome. Some people change in a couple of years, some, it may take longer. It depends on your budget, age, etc.

I have a lot of trans friends, so I guess I'm educated on the topic. It's a shame that they were born in the wrong body, and have to go through so much to be happy, and themselves.



visit www.tgroadmap.com for additional details.
I can't answer everything, but I'll certainly try.



I would certainly try to get in touch with a councilor/psychiatrist if I felt I had G.I.D, or was uncertain. Once you know, you can go from there.

A full gender change could probably take from a few months to a few years, depending on the ';severity';, how far you wish you progress with it, and so forth. I'd guess the average time is a year or two. There'd be time where the psychiatrist would confirm you had it, then you'd discuss it. I think it would then move to a phase where you would dress/behave like a female (or a male, of course), and I believe this is roughly when Hormones are started.

Once you've been on hormones (or dressed) for so long, I'd guess it's a case of being reviewed and seeing how you feel. If you feel it's correct, you could then go on all the way to surgery.



My views? I need to do the same, I think. I recently found a website called ';tzone';. It might be worth a visit, just to confirm.
yes ,you should contact a psychologist if you feel you have g.i.d ,hun.try ask anothers about that another questions that you have post ,hun.
- Some sort of mental health professional (hopefully with gender issues as a background) should always be contacted if you feel you have any sort of need for their services.



- Some health insurances cover transition costs, but not specifically as transition related. For example, my private coverage pays for me to see my gender therapist because I have mental health coverage, and she has credentials. My insurance also covers the cost of HRT because I have an excellent drug coverage with them. When dealing with any insurance company, the less they know the better it is for everyone.



I live in Ontario, and OHIP will be paying for everything after my chest reconstruction. They have just re-instated SRS coverage.



- Transition (your gender does not change) can be completed in the physical sense as soon as two years.The group of doctors I am transitioning with are the ones the Canadian military uses when a solider or officer is transitioning, and they allow for only two years of leave from the time of diagnosis to the final surgery before a person is put back on active duty. Often it takes longer due to financial limitations.



- My additional views? I don't feel that people properly understand what people who are trans go through. It is frustrating, and I wish I knew how to make even the most narrow minded person understand that people being trans is not a choice, nor is it deviant behaviour, nor are we anything to fear.

.........................?

why do people think that just because they are transgendered they are really the opposite sex. mentally they are and by physical appearance. however, they can not change their true gender identity biologically since they were born a specific gender which the DNA and chromosomes still exist. they may be able to change appearance and change their privates but it is still artificial and its not like a man can get a sex change and have a uterus, ovaries and be able to conceive. and technically they may be able to hide the fact that they were once the opposite gender and legally change your identity but no matter what your still the same sex just in a different appearance so even if your a man dating a woman after having a sex change your still gay. its doesn't actually change anything. i understand they may feel like the belong to the opposite sex and they change gender so that they can still date the same sex but identify as the opposite and appear ';straight';. but its really doesn't change who you really are. its like plastic surgery, your stil the same person, but now you have a fake body. you are the gender you born with whether you believe it or not. you can only think persoanlly that you belong to another gender because of either your sexuality, you relate better with the other sex, or you feel something wrong with your body. right? but its never truely changed and you'll can only change yourself to satisfy who you think you are in your mind and how you picture your true self if you were to be the other sex. catch my drift. im not generalizing anything people so dont put words in my mouth. psychologically you believe you belong to the other sex but biologically you are created the gender you are, which no matter what is still you..........................?
WTF?.........................?
i'd disagree with part of your question, but yes the concept of gender in dna can be one thing. However gender is far more ambigoues in the form of genetics than what you think. I feel that changing your genetalia is not going to do what most hope it will. However i feel that is their choice to make

This is indeed 100% true

they can't help u.



your DNA and plumbing don't mean ****. If u are transgendered in your head then the problem lies with your physical body.



EDIT: R U a Jesus freak or something?

if u r a woman in your head but u have a penis then physically u r the wrong gender.



U can't change who u r in your head so the penis has to go.

What do you think of potential technologically induced gender changes?

What sorts of gender-related changes do you think the future will hold?



Right now, many biochemists and those in related fields are studying the human body. It's likely that the definition of ';human'; will have to become more general at some future point to encompass a larger range of creatures, but for the more immediate future, I think gender changes will come about. These changes can affect anything from just interaction in the bedroom to what a gender is.



Some of the ones I can think of:

-Simpler and more effective gender conversion. (How will it change things about when people can change sexes fairly quickly and cheaply? What about when they change to sexes that don't naturally occur?)

-Far more satisfying sex toys. (Less sexual frustration- how would that change society?) (Includes improved versions of porn, sex robots, etc.)

-DNA testing (as a previous question brought up, about paternity).

-Better cosmetics/appearance-altering methodologies. (What happens when no one's ';more beautiful';, but people appear as they want to, making beauty entirely a matter of opinion?)

-Artificial wombs. (What happens when child birth can occur without needing a partner, for both men and women and other gender?)



Just some random ideas off the top of my head (and all ones that seem plausible to me as a student of engineering and biochemistry), so I'm sure there are far more interesting ones I'm not even thinking of.



Has anyone given thought to what ';sex'; might mean in a hundred or so years? If so, any interesting thoughts?



What even happens when there's no longer a clear line between ';male'; and ';female';?What do you think of potential technologically induced gender changes?
';How will it change things about when people can change sexes fairly quickly and cheaply? What about when they change to sexes that don't naturally occur?';

That will be a pretty wild party!



';Far more satisfying sex toys';

Women are already happy doing if for themselves. Feminists have been telling men for 40 years they should go **** themselves, and they may get their wish soon enough.



';Better cosmetics/appearance-altering methodologies. (What happens when no one's ';more beautiful';, but people appear as they want to, making beauty entirely a matter of opinion?';

That would be great. We could judge each other on personality more easily.



';Artificial wombs. (What happens when child birth can occur without needing a partner, for both men and women and other gender?)';

I think the women of today who take it for granted that they can treat men however their mood takes them, will suddenly find that life is a lot lonelier.What do you think of potential technologically induced gender changes?
I think they should just leave it alone. There is enough gender confusion.
Well, we all know that the ultimate feminist conspiracy is to destroy gender completely and have a whole generation of 'boys' and 'girls' growing up not knowing if they're technically male or female. If it gets to that stage, we're going to have to have another sex revolution, this time with a completely different meaning.
I'm not sure I agree with your opinion that sex-robots would result in less rape and one-night-stands. A sex-robot is not going to please a man whose aim is to scare a woman by forcing himself upon her. His intense thrill often comes from the fear that he's induced upon the woman.



One night stands might be impacted, but I highly doubt it. While a sex robot may look and feel human, the human knows that they are a machine which may make some people ashamed just to have one - much less use it.



Gender conversion may become physically easier, but I have a tough time seeing that it would be any easier psychologically. Those who do make changes now are allowed after a decent amount of time, education, and counseling. That wouldn't change. It might result in a higher demand for psychologists who've specialized in gender issues, and it wouldn't be a problem filling the need.



It's difficult for me to imagine life on Earth in 20 years - I certainly can't conceptualize what human life will be in 100 years. Kind of a scary thought ;o

How old does someone have to be to start gender changing?

how old do people need to be to start hormones and surgery. do you need any doctors recommendations to get it done. what does somone need to actually do to become the opposite sexHow old does someone have to be to start gender changing?
Except for Gwennie none of these people know what they're talking about.



I believe you're from England so things are a little different there than the US. However, treatment can start as early as age 11-12 with puberty blocking GnRH inhibitors. Then hormones can be started at 16. Then finally surgery at 18. You can download a copy of the Standards of Care here:



http://www.WPATH.org



Now the NHS is a little slow. Be persistent and eventually you will recieve treatment. Hopefully Diane, who's from England, will add some information later. The process begins by coming out to your doctor as transsexual. They will then refer you to a gender clinic/specialist to be evaluated.



Sex and gender are two different things. Transsexual people do NOT change their gender, they change their sex to match their gender. You can read lots more about transsexualism and the process here:

Good Luck!





Edit: Kim Petras is in all likelihood not the youngest person to get surgery. She's just the youngest that we know about.





Edit: Your profile says you're from Ireland. Not sure how things work there. Maybe Diane knows.How old does someone have to be to start gender changing?
Kim Petras is the world's youngest transsexual at 16, surgery and all. She was in Germany, which has different/more relaxed rules that the U.S..



You can start yourself on the right track by seeing a gender therapist now, which will lead to getting hormone prescriptions and eventual doctor recommendations for surgery. 16 with parental consent would probably be the youngest you could try for, but it's never too early to start getting those around you used to the idea.



EDIT: Radgal- that's probably true; I know of some East Asian transwomen who transitioned very young- the only difference is that they aren't attracting media attention the way Kim is.
i'm not sure how old you have to be to start taking hormones but i know it can be done with older teenagers. you should talk to a doctor about it.

don't listen to these other punks on here. what you decide to do with your body is ultimately your decision! weather it happens for you now or later, congratulations on reclaiming your body and following your dreams!
It depends on the individual and the time you would like the change to occur over, as well as your state of health and .. how close you may already be to the gender appearance-wise.



From what I've heard, with parental consent, 16 is the earliest.
You gotta do some crazy genetic stuff when you are only a few cells large.
The ripe age of 3.
21?
Why do you want to change your gender? I mean God gives us our forever gender and doesnt want us to change it. Unless you are not going to and your just asking a question then try typing your question on google. You always find answers on google.
