Transitioning Genders: The Importance of Self-Love | Documentary | Real Pride

Aug 14, 2021 | This two-part special gives us incredible first-hand accounts from transgender people about their experience of affirming their gender – often at huge emotional and financial cost.

From rock stars to body builders and average suburban dads, this documentary shows us how far medicine has come in fulfilling the dreams of people who were born in the wrong body.

Some of the language used in this documentary may not be the correct terminology to accurately represent people currently.


BEWARE! This documentary isn't for everyone. It is very explicit and many people might take exception to some of its content. Until I watched this documentary, I knew virtually nothing about this phenomenon. Many of you might not know much about the phenomenon either. I have watched this documentary to be better informed about it. These days, there is so much in the newspapers about gender reassignment.

My posting this documentary should not be construed as an endorsement of these procedures. Frankly, I neither endorse them nor do I condemn them. I know far too little about them to do either. What perplexes me, though, is why so many people want to change their sex. Up until relatively recently, people having sex change operations were pretty rare. Not so anymore, it seems. Puzzling! – © Mark Alexander

If you are born with a sense of aesthetics which makes you predisposed to being attracted to people of the same sex, i.e. you are homo — Shh! — and further, you are born in a country such as Iran which is governed and ruled by the benighted, by old farts who continue even to this day to believe in the omnipotence of the old man in the sky, the old man who is so vain and insecure that he demands to be worshipped constantly and thought about during your every waking minute, and praised! — oh how much he wants and needs to be praised! — you know, the old dude with a long, long, white beard who is watching over your every move, even when you’re in the crapper!, and who is omnipotent to punish you for acting on the predispositions with which he created you, and for satisfying your desires, maybe with a tender kiss on your lover’s lips, yet he is totally and utterly impotent to stop natural disasters, such natural disasters as earthquakes, inundations, and wildfires. If you are born in such a country, this might be your fate. You might be asked, nay ordered, to change the sex with which the old man in the sky endowed you! – © Mark Alexander

Since 2000 a total of 853 men have gone under the knife to become women while in the same time span 12 women have had an operation to become a man.

Back in 2000 there were just 54 sex change operations carried out in the country while last year the figure stood at 143.
