Before you start your sex change, you must go to a psychologist, who will test you to see if you are mentally stable to make this decision. After you are deemed acceptable, he will refer you to an endocrinologist, who'll start on you testosterone (for FTM) or estrogen (MTF). While on these drugs, you will continue to see both doctors.

your doctor or general refers you to a pyschcologist they will determine if you do or really are transsexual .you will be scrutenized pretty good . and then if you make it through that chaeckpoint you go to the endo who will prescribe hormones and you will begin living as a woman . until your psych oks you for the op then you wll as do a phsych referel from the sex change docs choosing . so you have some hoops to jump thru. i will help you just a little your pyschocolgist is going to make initial judhements best you show up in your prettiest sunday dress with your hair and makeup done to the best of your abilities you best talk like a girl with the right inflections and be comfortable doing this . you should not show any rush to get thhru this process *** the entire presnting a stable personality is a big plus sign. this wont take as long as it sounds but if your doc drags it out too long or is too quick with it seek out a new doc . if they dont give you the mmie test. ask t gals in your area whom they go to for the best advice here .pick the best one then
