Trans-status

Reading some surveys, transsexuals are 0,01% of the population. They are born in a body that they say is not the good one. Everything in them say It’s a mistake. But how to prove it ? Is transsexuality an imaginary disease or a physiological reality ? Science, as per today, does not allow to understand every mechanism of this question, meaning the inadequation between the sex and the gender. Since the XIXth century, without knowledge (and curiosity), a lot of doctors file transsexuality under mental diseases. We could call this obscurantism. Because it is an unexplained phenomenom, we avoid it. In France, to be officially recognized, transsexuals have to be insane persons. Example : “laboratory experimental, how can I help you ?” “hello” “good day, sir, I’m listening” “I call you because officially I am a she, I am transsexual” “I see, are you followed at this moment ?” “no” “It’s for a first appointment ?” then come all possible questions, and then you must write a letter explaining your motivation to the doctor. Then you will be called back if the doctor agrees. So the question is : what makes you think, you’re a trans ? How to justify (if you're officially a woman) you intimately feel like a man from the start ? It is very strange that the universally recognized transsexuality (more or less officially) has a place in the society but my country France (named evaluated) can’t even admit that some boys and girls are born different. Most of the people believe that it is a recent phenomenom, linked to the development of the medicine (hormones and chirurgical operations). Wrong : there always were people of the third gender. Everywhere in the world, we find their presence. In Europe, almost all countries, except France, allow to the trans the possibility to exist administratively. In my country, you must change sex to change identity. The third sex is forbidden on the territory. French medicine accepts to follow patients just by the fact that they are recognized as mentally ill. It accepts to modify the body only to reproduce the opposite. It can’t imagine that a woman has a penis. Some call it mutilation and after many failures, the doctors refuse to operate anymore. Strangely anywhere else, it's different. In the Netherlands, soon in Germany and Switzerland, teams are taking place to give support to pre-teenagers in their way for sexual transition. A few months ago, a 16 years old teenager became the youngest transsexual. She took hormonal treatment since she was 12 and convinced the psychiatrists of her sincerity. Normally, such an operation is not permitted before 18. We hope that the fact she is a beautiful blonde who sings on the web (thanks to Youtube and Myspace), and is now a star, will help and contribute to improve tolerance with this subject.
