Clinic for transsexual people in Tokyo
 

Hello there,

I'm currently living in Tokyo and I have been searching such clinic for a while without any results.
I'm suffering too much from my GID and wish to start a treatment.

Does someone know of such clinic in Tokyo area?

I don't mean to burst your bubble, but I don't know if Japan is as big on the whole transsexual thing as America is. You might have a hard time finding something like that. Your best bet would probably be to find a general therapist, and hope they have some experience with these issues or are a quick learner + very accepting

Good luck

Transsexuals, or "new-half"s as they are called in Japanese seem a lot more prevalent in Japan than in the US. There is no taboo about going to a new-half cabaret to see topless dance routines.

Here's a list:

surgery is called 性転換手術 or SRS手術

Hormone treatment is ﾎﾙﾓﾝ療法

GID専門 is clinics that speicalise in GID

Good luck!

Well, I stand corrected. I thought the US was kinda the mecca for this... procedure, seeing as how we're obsessed with plastic surgery and stuff :)

Actually, I am not sure if you can get a sex-change in the US. I know a lot of people go to Thailand or Europe to do it.

That certainly is surprising.

I knew they Japan had a lot of crossdressers, but I had no clue they'd be fine with transexuality.

MMM, how lenient are they on homosexuality?

Yea you can but most doctors do it underground-ish ( I guess they don't need the publicity) I can tell you this much tho you'll have a hell of a time finding them!

Seriously? Wow, mind = blown.

It'd better be. ;D
