Switching sexes transsexual mtf,

Non-binary people's internal sense of gender identity is neither solely female nor male. For transgender and transsexual people, this process commonly involves reassignment therapy which may include hormone replacement therapy and sex reassignment surgery , with their gender identity being opposite that of their birth-assigned sex and gender. Transitioning might involve medical treatment, but it does not always involve it. Cross-dressers , drag queens , and drag kings tend not to transition, since their variant gender presentations are usually only adopted temporarily.

Sex reassignment surgery for male-to-female involves reshaping the male genitals into a form with the appearance of, and, as far as possible, the function of female genitalia. Before any surgery, patients usually undergo hormone replacement therapy HRT , and, depending on the age at which HRT begins, facial hair removal. There are associated surgeries patients may elect to, including vaginoplasty , facial feminization surgery , breast augmentation , and various other procedures. Lili Elbe was the first known recipient of male-to-female sex reassignment surgery, in Germany in She was the subject of four surgeries: one for orchiectomy , one to transplant an ovary , one for penectomy , and one for vaginoplasty and a uterus transplant. However, she died three months after her last operation.

Lorelei Erisis taps the screen of a borrowed iPhone. The key of A, with kazoo-like resonance, fills her living room in Ayer, Mass. Erisis taps another button labeled "start," takes a deep breath, and sings the word "he," trying to match the tone. Let me try again. Erisis, a transgender woman, is trying out Eva , a mobile phone app that may be the first of its kind.
