The FINANCIAL -- Sex change operations are not common in Georgia, so far at Kuzanov Clinic only seven operations have been done to true transsexuals, all of them women transforming in to men.

The first sex change operation was done in the year 1996. "The patient arrived at the clinic, saying she had spent five years in MOSCOW at a clinic where she had been proved to be a true transsexual.  The first part of the operation - the reduction of primary signs, was done to her and later we created a man's organs," Kuzanov recalled.

"In Georgia the sex can only be changed of true transsexuals," said Professor Iva Kuzanov, Kuzanov Clinic.


"Transsexualism is an innate disease, when an individual is born with a defect, when their sex is defined not by external organs but rather from birth, within their body there is another sex. As Americans declare, in the brain there are two kernels which define the sex of an individual," Kuzanov added.
