Renee is 77, and while genital re-assignment surgery is complicated, age, as long as there are not medical problems, usually isn't an issue.
"Renee happens to be in great medical shape. She was a very physical person for many years, and she went through the surgery very well," said Dr. Leis.
Renee says she waited until her wife died to have the surgery, and finally feels normal.
"I'm happy good, as happy as any woman could be," said Renee.
Well no one can accuse her of rushing into it, that's for sure.
I'm actually going to bookmark this article and share it with the next transperson that ask me if they are too old to transition.
Thanks Natasha!
She must've been in pretty good shape. I can't see a surgeon willing to do such an extensive surgery if she was your average 77 year old.
