How many transsexuals does it take to change a light bulb?
Jude had the correct answer… “Just one, but s/he needs two letters of recommendation, one of which has to come from an MD or PhD, and s/he needs to demonstrate the ability to live in the dark for one year.....”
Those who are not trans are probably thinking “I don’t get it. What is funny about that?” Well, in order for us to get hormones we need to get a letter from a mental health care provider and we need two letters of recommendation for surgery. That is a major sore point in the trans-community, because we have to go through “gatekeepers” which require us to live a minimum of one year full time and then get the two letters of recommendation for the surgery.
Oh, that's a good one, but sad because it's so true. Why should you have to prove that you want to be who you want to be.
