Quebec's medical system is in the midst of some major changes when it comes to accessing sex reassignment surgeries (SRS) in the province.

Up until recently, transsexual and transgendered folks seeking publicly-funded SRS procedures had to first be psychologically assessed at the Human Sexuality Unit (HSU) of the Montreal General Hospital before proceeding with surgery at public hospitals outside of Canada — often in countries as far away as the Czech Republic or Thailand.
