Research News: October 2008. Australian researchers have identified a significant link between a gene involved in testosterone action and male-to-female transsexualism - .Terry Reed from the Gender Identity Research and Education Society said she was convinced of a biological basis to transsexualism. "This study appears to reinforce earlier studies which have indicated that, in some trans people, there may be a genetic trigger to the development of an atypical gender identity'(see research link below). "However, it may be just one of several routes and, although it seems extremely likely that a biological element will always be present in the aetiology of transsexualism, it's unlikely that developmental pathways will be the same in all individuals'. -Quote of the week: June 17, 2008 NCTE Applauds the AMA Call for "Removal of Financial Barriers to Care for Transgender Patients" - The American Medical Association (AMA) passed a resolution recently calling for "public and private health insurance coverage for treatment of gender identity disorder as recommended by the patient's physician." The declaration, known as Resolution 122, "Removing Financial Barriers to Care for Transgender Patients," was passed by the House of Delegates - AMA's primary decision-making body - at its annual conference in Chicago. - Resolution 122 affirms the effectiveness of medical treatment for transsexuals and the right to appropriate treatment. It also names as discriminatory the categorical denial of health insurance coverage for psychotherapy, hormonal and surgical treatments for transgender patients, and reiterates the AMA's opposition to discrimination based on gender identity. The full text of the resolution is below. - An expert said the findings reported in BJU International reflected patients' determination to undergo the op. - "America's physicians are saying that transgender people, like all others, deserve competent medical care based on what individual doctors and their patients determine is healthiest for each person," noted Mara Keisling, Executive Director of the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE). "Doctors and patients, not insurance companies, should be making those choices. We are so glad that the AMA has taken a leadership role against the rampant discrimination that transgender people have faced for so many years in receiving appropriate medical care and equitable insurance coverage," - Health insurance coverage has been made into prominent national issue recently thanks in part to a three year campaign by the AMA. NCTE has prioritized ending health insurance discrimination against transgender people.

Mayor life-changes such as transitioning require support and information to enable an individual carrying this birth condition to live in harmony, to fuse their mind and body and to be able to live a 'normal' life before, during and after their journey rather than to just remain in a state of confusion and isolated. To achieve that I am a fully qualified and experienced gender specialist who endeavors to provide appropriate care and support for transgender clients.   As I am at most times the first health care professional contacted, whatever I am referred to, such as, a counselor or facilitator my overall purpose is to become a trusted advocate and a source of strength, information and support.

At www.sexreassignment.com as a counselor and mental health professional specializing in Male to Female and Female to Male sex change, dysphoria, and related issues, I offer individualized online therapy and assessments leading to letters of recommendation for hormones and surgery. I further provide advice, support and time-limited online therapy for cross-gender expression. (Click here for current 'FEES'

Online gender counseling can be accessed from home, the office or even a local library. This convenience and confidentiality provides an alternative  solution for many persons suffering gender related issues who may be concerned about the stigma associated with seeing a therapist/counselor, may not be able to find a facility in there area or convenience. The online counseling takes approximately three months to complete the requirements of a letter of recommendation for hormones, and for most a further three months for the recommendation of surgery.  All with a minimal amount of telephone support. Therefore, gender counseling provides a long lasting and clinically proven improvement for transgender clients even for those with close to zero computer skills. It consists of a series of interactive sessions between the Gender Consultant and the client who is experiencing dysphoria, distress, concern or simply seeking clarification of gender issues. The therapy consists of regular one hour sessions. These sessions initiate a developmental process which enables a history to be gathered and any dilemma to be understood. Unrealistic ideas, expectations and maladaptive behavior are also identified and discussed. This counseling is not intended as a cure for any ‘gender identity issues', the ultimate goal is simply enablement and the clients long term contentment, stability and success in everyday life and above all relationships. At the end of the suggested and agreed sessions apart from relevent information we provide letters of recommeandation for hormones and, if required SRS, both of which are acceptable worldwide.

Thailind since the late 1960's has provided accessible and affordable Sex Reassignment Surgery (SRS). It has since developed first class clinics with skilled surgeons and caring support staff who offer a range of SRS and related procedure plus Facial feminisation surgery, some clinics are located in Bangkok and other are situated in well known and popular tourist destinations most of which are situated along Thailand's popular coastline.

As U.K. registered and fully qualified therapists/counselor we can assist with many of the associated difficulties encountered when trying to reach your ultimate goal of 'real life experience' and 'self-identify in your chosen gender.

Online we offer a thorough assessment within a time limited framework. At the end of the assessment period, if mutually agreed that you are a suitable candidate for hormones and surgery you will receive the appropriate letter of recommendation plus report and any other relevant supporting documents these can then be presented to your chosen endocrinologist or SRS surgeon or sent direct for you.. All assessments adhere as closely as possible to the standards and guidelines as laid down by the 1998 Harry Benjamin Standards of Care criteria but are flexible to individual needs.
