- Abstract:
- This video includes a panel of professionals with varying opinions on the validity of sex-change surgery and treatment. One doctor fully supports sex-change surgery, arguing that it is usually reversible among males and is the only realistic treatment to making patients feel happier and more comfortable. Another argues that sex-change treatments are expensive, therefore opening up the opportunity for doctors to take financial advantage of their patients. He also states that the lack of research and statistics on sex-change treatments is worrisome; in addition, sex-change surgery is often dangerous and unpredictable. Nevertheless, the doctors all agree that society has become more open to people who are transsexual and transgender in the past twenty years.
