Hi,

Most people are aware of their gender and comfortable with their sex at a very early age. They identify with the sex of which they were born. However, some people suffer from gender dysphoria where they feel like they were meant to be the opposite sex. They report feeling trapped in the body of the wrong gender and sometimes this sensation goes back to their earliest sense of self as a child. Parents of those who have this condition often recognize the symptoms of a gender identity problem about the age their child enters elementary school. These people are considered transgender who often grow to become transsexual. Many transsexuals are satisfied with just hormone drug treatment but some still feel the need to go further and opt for sexual reassignment surgery.

We need to find the one that was done for women! And unfrotunately for my dh, it's the kids that teach him to play the games and internet so he can't even do that, so with the survey done, my dh is worthless in the house! But I didn't need a survey for that, check out the thread on Lousy f ing babysitter on the due in april on bounty, you'd understand him even beter
