I am an Indian.I am certified as a secondary transsexual by my psychiatrist.In order to go ahead,I need to get a certificate from my doctor.This certificate will come only when the doctor knows I am stable,psychologically,mentally,emotionally.It took me 2 years to prove to him that I am stable emotionally and psychologically by doing a number of things.these include by gettin my self respect back,not acting defensive when it came to my sexuality,getting a good job,taking tuitions,getting back to education,and doing various number of things.He is only waiting for the finance to come in.I am a 20 year old student and working hard just to satisfy my daily needs and repay ing my loan that i had taken from my dad. I was wondering if there could be organisations or people across the world who would like to help me.I come from an upper middle class family who is sophisticated as well as decent.I am a very clear person and I have very clear and strong reasons to support my surgery.I am studying to be a graduate.It will take me long to become a full-fledged earning individual.I dont think it very wise to wait till then for that is a long 5 years till I become financially stable.I love myself and i will go to any limit to live the way i want.I am a very positive person and basically I have a pure soul,and so I am sure few pure souls all round this world who are reading my msg will go out of their way to help me. I do not want to show how much I am suffering or show how miserable I am,because that will attract sympathy,which is a negative emotion.I believe everything in this world has a solution and all you pure and beautiful souls reading my message will soon give me some way.I am not a Christian,but a hard core believer of Mother Mary,because she was a woman,and she alone knows my pain.I would like to end in her name.BLESS ME AND THE ONE WHO READS AND REPLIES,O MOTHER OF MOTHERS,MA MARY.

I think you're just going to have to wait. Gender is not really important. Worry about getting through school so you are fit to complete in this society and try to stop thinking about having a vagina until you're more financially secure. I'm a poor college student too and I would be a wreck in school if all I could think about was having a new body. I don't understand what you're going through, sorry. To me the only rational solution is to wait until you have the money.

This is a very good question... if I were you, I would google the local GLBT in your area. I realize that this is pretty general and not really specific to your needs, but that is the fabulous thing about GLBT! You can find a lot of subjects dealing with gay, lesbian and transgendered issues. I am glad to hear that you are doing what makes you happy and are not letting anyone deter you from what you want. Kudos to you on that. Also, there is another organization called GLAAD. Oh and if your parents would like to either support you or learn more about what you are going through, they can look up an organization called PFLAG. I wish you only the best in your conquest to become a happier person. Good luck!

Welcome to the club. To my knowledge there is no such organization out there. My guess is you will do exactly what the rest of us do. Work, get a second job and work some more. Save $10.00 a week for 3 years or get a loan. Always the chance you may win the lottery too.

I'm going through college so I can land a good job and pay for my transition that way. Well, I'm going to college to start a career, which will be my income and part of my spending is my transition needs.... Coming from an upper middle class family, there's not a lot of organizations that will help you financially, trans or not. Some banks will give loans for medical needs. You don't even have to tell them specifically what it's for.

Unfortunately I know nothing about your country, and can only suggest that you search for GLBT organisations in your area who may be able to give you advice. It would be nice if one existed, but I very much doubt you will find any organisation which financially helps transitioning transsexual people. As far as I know there is no such thing, as all of the organisations for trans people that I have encountered are non-profit and have no money to offer. What you will almost certainly need to do if you don't want to wait until you have saved up the money yourself is take out a loan. Bear in mind that genital surgery is not necessary for social transition. If you are on hormones, once they have taken some effect you can live comfortably as a woman, as no one will know what your genitals look like. I am also transsexual, though female-to-male, and I have been living happily as a man for years without having had genital surgery. I know that for many people it is important to them to make them feel complete, but if surgery would put you into financial difficulty, I think it would be worth trying to come to terms with where you are until you are financially secure. I wish you the very best of luck!
