"Dr James Barrett is a psychiatrist based at the National Gender Identity Clinic in London, which sees over 700 patients a year seeking gender reassignment.
He said it was unusual for the female hormonal system of someone who had taken male hormones to restart, as Mr Beatie's did, in order to allow periods and pregnancy to take place.
Dr Barrett also explained the process a patient seeking gender reassignment in the UK would go through.
STAGE 1 - DIAGNOSIS
The first stage is for someone to be diagnosed with transsexualism.
While a patient can come to a clinic wanting gender reassignment, it may be decided they have another condition, such as a rare endocrine disorder, or that they are gay but have difficulty coming to terms with it.
The diagnosis is usually made by a psychiatrist.
Counselling is offered to patients before, during and after any treatment. "
