Transgender: medical guidelines for a safe transition

By José Carlos Martins Júnior

"Nowadays, the modern medicine is a great bless in many lives around the world because it allows people who suffer from gender dysphoria to pursue their affirmation. I can affirm that the surgery was the most important decision I made. It was a watershed in my life. After that, I could feel complete for the first time. I became so happy and started enjoying my life with great level of happiness and fulfillment being myself. I achieved my real gender affirmation and could fill the harmony between my body and my mind."
