Not every transgender will experience a transition, which depends on their desire for their ideal gender. Not all transgender people who decide to transition will take the same approach, depending in part on their gender aspirations that match their gender identity, and in part on their economic conditions. The reason why the transition process of each transgender is different is that the transgender is composed of many different ways, including changing gender and name, hormone therapy and sex change surgery, etc. According to statistics, only a few people will make the transition through transsexual surgery, because the price of such surgery is not affordable for everyone. Moreover, compared with other degenerative processes, transsexual surgery is also the longest, most expensive and most complex method of transition. So, in this article, we will discuss in detail what transgender people should do before the operation.
Find a qualified therapist
First of all, before you have sex change surgery, you need to make an inquiry into the specific process of the operation and its side effects. Moreover, you should also have a preliminary understanding of your psychological state. So, one of the steps you need to take is to find a qualified therapist. Ask your therapist for all the information and advice about the operation. When you have a general understanding of it, you will suffer a lot less psychological pressure. If possible, you can ask your therapist about more real cases of sex change surgery, which can give you more confidence. Not only that, you should also check your physical condition to make sure that the effects of transsexual surgery are affordable.
Make a plan for your transition
In order for everything to work properly, your therapist will generally make a transition plan for you, which generally includes what you should do before the sex change operation. The purpose of this program is not to change your cognition and feelings, but to help your body to meet the sex change surgery in a better state, and to give you some psychological construction, which can reduce your pain. In general, therapists will advise transgender people to accept HRT, which helps them to conduct a comprehensive test and management of your physical condition.
Complete your gender role transition
Because this kind of sex change surgery is irreversible, the therapist will help them to complete the transformation of gender roles before they really start to accept sex change surgery. There are two purposes. One is to make sure transgender people are really ready for sex change surgery. It's about being able to adapt to their new body faster. Generally, during the transition period, you will live with your gender identity for nearly two years. You will put on their clothes and take part in their activities. In short, you will try what all people of this gender will do. As the transition progresses, your therapist will change some of your body's characteristics by injecting hormones. All this is for the smooth operation of sex change.
