Dr. Marci Bowers is a rarity — she's one of only two doctors who specializes in gender reassignment surgery who's also transgender herself. The other (Dr. Christine McGinn) is a protégé of Bowers.

Bowers, who transitioned in the mid-1990s, is the only gynecologist who does gender reassignment surgery. She'll be at Trans Pride Saturday (10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Metropolitan Community Church of Washington) to give the keynote address and took nearly an hour on the phone last week from her practice in San Mateo, Calif., to talk about her life, her work, the practicalities of trans surgical procedures and where trans issues are going. Bowers' comments have been edited for length and clarity.
