At what age can you change your gender?

The answer above is not very correct, because operations can be done upon reaching the age of majority, that is, 18 years. As well as registering with a doctor yourself. If you want to change your sex before the age of majority, you must have parental consent for hormone therapy.

In Russia, before changing sex, it is necessary: ​​

~ Be sure to register in a psychiatric hospital, undergo a thorough examination and be under the supervision of a psychiatrist for about 2 years (sometimes less).

~ After this period, the patient undergoes a special commission, which includes at least three doctors. If the patient successfully passes this commission, then as a result he receives a certificate with the diagnosis of transsexualism.

~ Also, before the operation, hormone therapy is performed under the supervision of a specialist. The course of hormone therapy is at least one year. It makes sense to contact the surgeon already having a paper with the diagnosis in hand, otherwise the operation will not be performed.

Nuances and indications before the operation:

~ The patient should be 21 year.

~ Psychiatric observation for 2 years is mandatory: psychocorrectional measures, somatic and instrumental examination.

~ Obtaining a certificate of form F 64.0, in which a diagnosis of transsexualism will be indicated.

~ Year of hormone therapy.

~ A year of successful life experience as a person of the opposite sex. This indication may be prescribed by the observing physician.

~ The most important thing is that the patient should be fully aware of long-term postoperative hospitalization and rehabilitation.
