Transsexual: Transitions
built 214 days ago
This means undergoing a "transsexual transition", which in the case of a male to female (MtF) transsexual involves completely changing the body from that of a boy to that of a woman. This is done by taking female sex hormones AND by undergoing sex reassignment surgery (SRS) to reconstruct the genitalia from male to female. Transsexual transition in the U.S. is conducted under formal medical protocols that require counseling, hormone therapy, and a "real life experience" of at least a year of living and working in the new gender before the patient is recommended for SRS (see Part II. Transsexualism)

In the television show, "Ugly Betty", the character Alexis Meade (Portrayed by Rebecca Romijn), formerly Alex Meade, is a post-op transsexual who, before transitioning, faked her own death so she could start her life over as a woman. When Alexis realizes that she can get back at her father (who said he would rather see her dead than as a woman) she comes out of stealth and takes over their business after she tips the authorities off that her father killed Fey Sommers, a character whose death immediately preceded the start of the first series. A serious car accident later leaves Alexis with amnesia, and she forgets the entire previous two years - including her transition from male to female.

Decisions often must be made about whether to transfer the transsexual employee to a different location within the company, whether to change her or his job responsibilities, and how to handle her or his contacts with the public. Many practical workplace matters must be resolved. The question of which restroom the transsexual employee should use often becomes a major stumbling block in a company's ability to cope with a transitioning employee; yet there are several simple solutions to this issue that are effective in most workplaces. These issues, which require multifaceted examination, are addressed in this book.

Some transsexual people have children from before transition. Some of these children continue living with their transitioning/transitioned parent, or retain close contact with them. A recent study shows that this does not harm the development of these children in any way.[28]

One transsexual employee was forbidden to use any bathroom at work for two years. Saddled with concerns about transitioning from male to female, she chose to use the restroom at a nearby gas station rather than fight.
