I wonder when they are talking about.
It is unlikely they could be talking about the 1950s because the incidence of people getting sex change operations in the 1950s was incredibly rare.
Things improved by the early 1960s with Dr Burou in Casablanca and Dr Barbosa in Tijuana both of whom were refining techniques that gave birth to the techniques used today.
Why by the late 1950s early 1960s major University Medical Centers were starting to look at doing SRS along with some Drs. in the US actually doing surgery.
Not only that... The fact that tabloid newspapers were starting to regularly carry stories about April Ashley and the sisters who had worked at the Carousel made what had been a fantasy for kids like me start to seem like something one could really do.
