More people in the South West are seeking treatment for gender
identity disorders.
The South West's only gender identity clinic, at Newton Abbot in
Devon, has seen a 77% increase in referrals since last year.
There have been 50 new cases this year alone, and just under half of
those referred end up having surgery.
Clinic managers say that people are more aware of the issue and it is
becoming more socially acceptable.
