Sex dysphoria

It is a package. Way of being + way of presenting + physical changes. If I could have tolerated the way of being without the way of presenting, that would have been better, but it seemed impossible to me. Then, if I could have had the way of being and the way of presenting and realised that did not necessitate physical changes I might regret…


Does someone born male need "the operation" to live full time, legally, as a female?  Does that same person need to present as female while, perhaps having had "the operation"?  Clare has some well written thoughts on the subject, in Sex dysphoria.
