How Transgender Women Transition ...

Have you ever wondered how difficult it is for a man to actual transition into a female? Cosmopolitan has, which is why they've made us aware of a certain video. It proves that transitioning is not only an emotional journey, but it also takes a lot of time in the hospital. After all, hormone therapy isn't the only part of transitioning.

The video down below, which was uploaded by the European Society of Urology, shows how a penis is turned into a vagina. It's something that you should really take a look at, so that you're more informed.

Is there any other information you know about the transitioning process that you'd like to share?

Why would we care ?

@ Liz how rude no one knows how these people feel and what they have to go through comments like that have no place in any type of discussion. @Allyfedor I totally agree. I also do not think Caitlyn Jenner is any kind of transgender ambassador so knows nothing of the plight of a person transitioning she had the money the make up artists and the fame to do all of this quickly and have the chance to talk about it, try eating some real stories of people going through this and it's has no resemblance to her story. And as someone else said need we forgot she killed someone in a car crash which she has never taken responsibility for.

My freind has recently come out turning from sasha to an Alex, I am a religouse Jew and I understand entirely and respect transgender.

@Jennapher I don't think you have anything to apologise to anyone for, you are who are and your choices at your own. Haters always gonna hate, take strength from the fact that you are who you are and people are always going to have an opinion.

this is def ny new favorite article on here

Thank you so much, Holly, for providing an opportunity to discuss what it means to be transgender! I think it is very important for genetic females and males to know that only a very small percentage of transgender women undergo Gender Reassignment Surgery. Many chose not to, but the primary reason ends up being financial: GRS in the United States costs approximately $20,000.00, and is generally NOT covered by insurance. It is also helpful to know that GRS represents the final treatment of Gender Dysphoria. In the transgender community, any trans woman who lives as a female 24/7 is considered transitioned. However, the decision to transition, and the steps taken, are usually done under the care of a psychiatrist, and for Hormone Replacement Therapy, an endocrinologist who supports hormone therapy as a suitable course of action. This is certainly not the only way to transition. But I believe a majority of transgender women would agree that, at present, if you have insurance, or the financial resources, this is the most effective path to take. I can't assume everyone knows what gender dysphoria is: it is the unwillingness or inability to identify with the gender of one's biological sex, or confusion over whether one identifies as male or female, or a combination, which can be labeled "gender queer." But this is where it all begins! Sometimes, in the case of Jazz Jennings, for example, the child himself or herself recognizes almost immediately that their biology does not match their gender. Sometimes, however, due to many internal and external factors, it can take Yeats, or decades for someone to realize that, while they were born with XY chromosomes, they identify as XX, or the other way round. One very important point that I, personally, would like to make, is that being a transgender woman DOESN'T mean transitioning into a female model or movie star. It DOES NOT mean conforming to the cultural or societal norms associated with being female. Of course, we try to be as "feminine" as possible. But that covers a very wide spectrum of "femininity." Nothing can change biology, transgender women still have XY chromosomes. That is why we are called transgender women. But, overcoming gender dysphoria, and deciding to transition, under medical supervision, as female, means physically and emotionally identifying as female. It DOES NOT imply that we "feel" like women, it doesn't mean we are adopting a "female" role. We are not drag queens! It does mean that, medically speaking, regardless of our age, we have stopped producing testosterone, and have increased our estrogen level to that of an 18 year-old female. And this results in a number of very significant physical and emotional changes, many of which cannot be reversed. We are not "trying" to be "female." We consider ourselves "female." And I will end on this note, because I am certain there will be a wide and disparate number of opinions expressed about this issue. I think it is incredibly open-minded, tolerant, and supportive for you to have posted thisโค๏ธ

Why on earth would you want to cut yourself up like that? If it takes that much work to do then God wanted it a certain way. Who are we to tell him he is wrong?

After seeing the video all I can say is oouch its gonna hurt tremendously post surgery great topic thanks

@allyfedor - completely agree. Caitlyn killed a woman in a car crash this year and the complete lack of humility is disgusting.

I think that people like Liz are in the closet them selfs, and like to trash others to hide her feelings, just saying !!
