ORIGINAL: MHOO314 Dr's aren't going to transform a male to a female, on the whims of a Domme---there has to be psychological counselling, medications, meetings etc--so I am having a hard time grasping the reality here, maybe its just too extreme for Me to even do that, but where are the Dr's to say " uh hon--it has to go alot deeper than your whims" There was a news article in India recently which mentioned the phenomenon of parents wanting to get a sex change for their daughters so they would have a son. quote:
Confirmation comes from Delhi-based plastic surgeon Sukhdayal Singh Sethi, who stopped performing transsexual surgeries a few years ago. He talks about how he had to turn down pleas for sex change from Haryana and Rajasthan families because he was unable to check the authenticity of their claims. "I've had parents requesting their daughters to be changed into sons. As they were not accompanied by their daughters, I had no way of checking the genuineness of their claims," says Sethi. However, that wouldn't have prevented them from going to some other doctor. "I have performed seven surgeries so far, all of them from female to male, only after ascertaining that the cases were genuine. The surgeries have been performed after getting all the legal documents attested by a magistrate. And all this was done only after a team of psychiatrists was convinced about the individual's desire to change. I have kept all the affidavits as backup," says Sethi. Mumbai-based Dr Kalpesh Gajiwala too has had to turn down requests from families who wanted to change their daughters' sex. It was Gajiwala who handled the case of Aparna Mafatlal, who became Ajay Mafatlal, ostensibly to stake a claim in the family fortune. Full article Its worth noting that doctors in India secure and maintain paperwork to support their decisions to do these surgeries. It would surprise me if British standards of care were less stringent.
