After having fought the psychological battle for 64 years, Betty from the United States came to India. Dressed in saree, an Indian female attire, wearing heavy ornaments, Betty walks with pride. “I was born with a male body but I always felt like a female. Life was no so easy. Getting sex changed in America is an extremely lengthy procedure. It can easily take more than 5 years to even get into operation theatre. Today is my rebirth and I would love to marry a man in future. Acceptance of transgender is terrible in America and I am happy that I am a female now.”
Rosy, with her mother, has come to India from the UK. Though born with male physique, Rosy never felt she was a boy. She smiles as she scrolls down her beautiful pictures on her mobile. “I wear a variety of wigs on different occasions and see how amazing I look. Until last year I didn’t know about sex change surgery. My mom suggested me to go for one. We did research and found out that sex change surgery is even cheaper here than in Thailand. Surgery is performed by qualified doctors and we are very happy with our decision. In the UK, many people don’t undergo sex change because of a huge chunk of money involved in it. They live a life of transgender and keep fighting within themselves and society”
Five years back Rosy married a UK based guy from India. At that time it was termed as gay marriage. “Today I am a girl and we will marry again but as straight male and female. We are all very excited especially my mother in law who has extended full support to me.”
"I am dying to wear bikini", chuckles Rosy.
She plans to go to Taj Mahal in Agra, and Jaipur after her breast transplant are done.
Dr Narendra Kaushik performs sex change surgery with the help of his highly skilled staff. He claims he is one of the few qualified doctors who perform sex change surgeries in India. “We have psychiatrists in our hospital who ensure the patient is transgender. Transgender are people who feel their souls are trapped in wrong bodies. We understand the pain they go through while dealing with family, friends and society. Many transgender even commit suicide. Sex change surgery is the solution and a miracle for them. We do what God didn’t do.”
Female to male surgery is considered to be the most difficult as the penis is made with the skin taken from forearm and it can take up to 12 hours to create one. Placement of the penis is done keeping Gspot in mind. Sex change surgery doesn’t affect sexual satisfaction in an individual. He or she continues to enjoy sex with immense pleasure.
