Transsexual's rights were violated by Lithuania

'The 28-year-old has been undergoing gender reassignment since 1998 including hormone treatment and breast removal, but is now being blocked from more treatment because of the laws in Lithuania.

He says he suffers daily embarrassment because he is still described as a woman on official documents'.

So the government refuses to change gender on official documents... Sounds exactly like some parts of the USA!  :P
Here's what I find about compromise--
don't do it if it hurts inside,
'cause either way you're screwed,
eventually you'll find
you may as well feel good;
you may as well have some pride

Brought back this thread for a specific related question:  (it was first on my list and showed this delta date... I don't do this often)

Lithuania's economy is pretty much governmental flow. That is those born into national birth and stay in the country probably find it hard to not make an income of some sort. That holds true on the loyalness, like a big family feel. Once a national born leaves the country to live elsewhere, it may be hard for them to return, as heard, to what they had previously. In summary, there isn't a great need for individuals to be as rich as possible in order to make it, as the government flow covers the basics (avoided details), which gives more time for individuals to worry about themselves and their life (and whatever entertainment on through, as explained to me).

Not intended to cherry-pick pros/cons as the reason to bring back this thread, I wanted to point out the difference in mindset one has of what may be considered "theirs" or personal growth rather than of the community. Since the case is 404'd, maybe better to see it blindly like this where one doesn't known where the transsexual's place of birth is officially recorded. It may question if the individual ever needed to be treated as an outsider now local, as born resident, or something more simple.

Something more simple than how economies affect transitions not only in transsexuals. The point is there... no real thesis so bare with this... global internet communication easily exploits these simplicities in difference, yet they are so simple that what makes it hard to find something to grasp upon to understand instead of feel sooooo oblivious.

Common sense I hope... ok... my bad here... yet important online! Those 50kbps usenet feed backbones used to bring out the best in global communications. Unique language and culture....  as I tell people on how to pronounce a name given to me... try to say "sonata" and you're kind-a-sort-of close enough. *wink*  Scarcity of knowledge, about Lithuania, and what was shared with me, personally, didn't make me feel detached there from what was started here (*deep breath*). The question I have is: if there is thought to how natural (or not) Lithuania's residents could possibly do this, assume average income range, do they publish such past research and community impact? I've been told most everybody (nationals) are natural birth and untouched.

Please, take this as a grain of salt for a bit of shared experience from a most likely rarer chance to speak of Lithuania. Double-checked... said enough.  ;)
