this person i work with

Well, seeing that the person has made up his mind...after which I'm sure must have been a very difficult period of self assessment, the best you can do is to not to discriminate and offer your support. After all, it is the same person inside.

Hi Sky.

Well, I have seen programmes on this.

They have to go through rigerous phsycological discussions for a long time before they are approved the go ahead for the full op.

They have to also live for a year (or two?) I think it is, as the opposite sex, with the clothes etc.

Normally, by that time, a person knows for sure that that is precisely what they want and that it will make them happy inside as well as on the outside too.

That said, I have also seen programmes re one or two people (a couple of men and a woman), who had regrets afterwards.

Unfortunately, there isn't much can be done should this happen after the full op, but this is something that will have been discussed at great length with the person wanting to go through with it all and they are always made aware that there are times people have been known to regret it.

At the end of the day, if they get to the stage where they are about to have that full operation, they have usually decided that it is a slight risk and worth taking as they want and need to have that fullfillment, they are otherwise not feeling.

I'm afraid it is purely the decision of the person undergoing that operation, to decide if it is right or not - he will be counselled afterwards anyway I think. It's just something only he can know, no-one else, no matter what they think.

I hope it works out well for him though and that he is still treated well afterwards by his friends, with the support he deserves. It's an extremely painful operation I gather.

I haven't read the previous posts, so apologies if I have duplicated what others may have said. :)
