In Sweden just now there is a kind of war on going against the government, Its a right wing coalition and a small section is blocking the change of a law, that in it's day was a step forward, however is now outdated. The law in Sweden DEMANDS all trans* people destroy genetic material in Sweden (so trans* people cant have kids) and have a surgical procedure to ensure sterility just to get one digit changed from a odd number to an even one... (like a National Identification Number or National Insurance number yyyymmdd****) The number signifies the legal gender of a person.

I was at a protest a while ago and thought you may like to hear about it, and the campaign

Warren's Speech against the inhumane and illegal laws on forced sterilisation in Sweden was rather amazing, i have a LOT of respect for him.. This video is not safe for work however the text is. - Juts in case people may be offended or accidentally click on it, I have opted to put the link behind a LJ Cut.

Also there is a petition that you may wish to sign should you choose to do so. and a link to a Facebook protest in London.

If you choose to sign the petition Thank You.

Yesterday, my mother and I were talking about SRS again and she asked me what procedures I thought I might have done. I'd rather not have phalloplasty since I'm not comfortable with the risk of nerve damage or loss of sensation, however, I would still like to have a hysterectomy and oophorectomy. There are a couple questions I have for those of you who have already undergone these procedures and have been on T for a while.

1) Is it true that keeping my ovaries while on T might increase my chances of ovarian cancer? This is one of the main reasons why I plan on having them removed.

2) I am concerned about whether there is heavy blood loss during these procedures. I do not accept blood transfusions for health/religious reasons and I wondered if it would be wise to bank blood in advance of having the surgeries done.

Any and all information regarding these concerns would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

I’m wondering if anyone can recommend a therapist in either Fredericksburg, VA or near Alexandria, VA who has experience with genderqueer/transgender patients and is queer-positive/affirmative. I’m currently seeing someone who is good for dealing with some other things I have going on (more ‘mainstream’ stuff like family problems) but I feel like she just doesn’t ‘get’ the gender stuff. I don’t know if this is because it’s only been a few sessions, but I just get the feeling that she isn’t going to understand it anytime soon and it’s making me incredibly frustrated and I feel like I waste my time & money (and energy) bringing this subject up with her. So I’d like to find someone who specializes more/is more familiar with gender issues.

I’m also interested in learning more about partial/subtotal hysterectomy or endometrial ablation. I pretty much have my mind & heart made up that I want either procedure (leaning more toward the hysto as I’ve read that ablations at my age (19) might not work too well & have to be repeated). The two main questions I have are 1. how much do these procedures generally cost – with insurance and without; and 2. is there any way I could get a therapist to say that the procedure would benefit my mental health as a way of getting an insurance company to cover at least part of a hysto? Would an insurance company buy that or do I need to have an actual ‘medical’ condition like endometriosis or something? (What if I was diagnosed with PMDD?)

Thanks for any & all help.

OK so let's not leave the guys out, but for you things are a bit more complicated surgery wise. Excuse my lack of knowledge on the matters, PLEASE. This poll will just ask whether you have had top or bottom surgery or both and then in the comments section you will have to write about the dcotor(s). This is because i don't know who does the majority of such operations, with transwomen surgeries there are like 10 that are prominent and it's pretty easy ( and there maybe the same with Transmen but i don't know who they are). Please note the poll isn't asking if you want to have surgery or don't plan to have surgeries, it's for people who have had surgery already, if you want to do a poll like that, make your own please.

[Poll #1121615]

I am scheduled for a hysto/ooph on may 31, but today, I learned something that made my heart drop.

The consent form that I signed said that I was 21. When my mom and I noticed this, she called the surgeon, who then said that she'd do some research and check state and federal law and the 'standards of care' to see if it was all right. I am ninteen.

Anyone under 21 been able to (legally) have a hysterectomy in CA, or does anyone know anything on this topic, or at least point me in the right direction? I don't want to deal with PMS and periods from hell for two more years.
