ORIGINAL: domahpet
i had a foster sister wayway back in the early 80's who was a cd, she was the most beautiful person i ever knew. all girl, (i never had any idea otherwise till after she died) wanted the surgery more than anything else in the world, but she couldnt get cleared because of her heritage, she was a big girl and the doctor decided she "wasnt girlie enough" because of that, she wound up suiciding because she just couldnt take it anymore. my eyebrows are modeled after hers ;)
she was my first example of how to be a girl lol
i also knew another girl about 10 years ago who was a hermaphradite (sp?), who could not get cleared for surgery just because the doctor thought she "was girl enough". im not going to describe her bits here, but can assure you she wasnt really girlie enough. the doctor told her it was just cosmetic and she neeed to learn to deal with it. she couldnt, and wound up going to thialand for the procedure. she emailed us often with updates leading up to, and right after her procedure. then the emails just stopped and no one ever heard from her again.
i dont know what the psych requirements are, but im guessing theyre pretty stringent, because these were to of the most amazing women ive known. and if a psych didnt agree with that....
sort of kindof baby hijack--there's a book you might be interested in, called sexing the body. it's about how doctors make the decisions they do when a baby is born intersexed. it's sort of sad, in the sense that it'll also sort of anger you. it's an interesting read anyway.
