I'm in the middle of listening to this episode right now and I'm utterly riveted.
I've nursed patients in the process of transitioning and I even nursed a woman who was post re-assignment (who developed a horrendous infection in her new vagina). I was young and I'll admit, I struggled with the notion of transitioning.
Hearing this episode, I get it - I totally get it and I only wish I had listened to something like this then.
My only concern for Whitney is her desire to seek re-assignment in Thailand. I've encountered some examples of botched surgery from patients who've returned from SE Asian countries and it's horrendous.
Be careful is all I would say.
Beautiful episode.
