The girl I love is bisexual and prefers girls. I am considering getting a sex change for her if it is what she would like. Should I do this? There's truly no one else in the world for me.

So_Very_Confused agony auntYou have no clue what a sex change entails. And no clue who qualifies for it… The fact that you even are considering it is a major insult to the truly transgendered folks out there. Having a gender reassignment is for folks who IDENTIFY as the opposite sex. Do you think you should have been a woman? Do you feel like you are a woman and that your penis is a foreign thing?

The first thing you would need to do is live as a woman for at least a year. You would style your hair as a woman, you would dress as a woman, you would wear makeup as a woman and follow the gender roles assigned to women.

Then you would need hormone shots and pills for the rest of your life. Then you would have surgery to give you breasts and finally surgery to remove your penis and testicles and give you a vagina. You would not menstruate as a natural born woman, nor would you have a womb or ovaries…. The outer body is not what truly defines us as male or female although most of the time what we are on the outside is thankfully what we are on the inside too.

There are plenty of folks in the world for you…. You are 17 years old and have no idea what you will be like in 5 years… and what you will like and dislike.

Let’s talk about love and why you love her… tell me what defines this love for you….

Dude, youre 16-17 don't be silly. You don't know if you will find some else, you have college and a career to meet new people, basically the rest of your life. A sex change takes YEARS, you have to live as the desired gender for a long time before HRT and then operations. By that time, she'll have probably gone back to boys or be seeing someone anyway.

If you changed sex, she'd probably think you were creepy and not want to date you anyway.

Seriously, get a grip and go out more to meet more people!

Hello!

My answer is NO, you shouldn't!

First of all your a minor and your parents would have to agree, secondly it's risky as every other surgical interference. Gender changing is not changing a haircut, u can't turn it back when you're bored or not satisfied with the result, plus it takes years to change your gender completely, i.e. becoming a woman.

Apart from the above, how can you possibly know she would like you as a girl anyway, maybe you two wouldn't be suited at all.

Right now u think there's no one else for you, but personally i think there is ALWAYS more than one person for everyone in the world.

take care

At your age no I would not do that, you're too young to be even thinking like that, I would let her get a girlfriend, you may decide later in life that you want to have children and a wife and it's no guarantee that she wont dump you later for a real woman, at the age 17 you haven't even started your life yet, and for her she might decide later in life that she wants to be with a man and have a family. I would say think before you act. Do you know how much that would cost you?
