JAMA/By Laura Buchholz JAMA. Published online October 14, 2015.

"Teri Berry, a transgender woman living in Kentucky, transitioned from male to female 9½ years ago with help from hormones she procured on the Internet and gender reassignment surgery in Thailand. Where she still can't seem to find help, though, is from physicians in Kentucky."
