Sex change questions?
First, it's unclear as to what you mean when you say %26quot;sex change%26quot;. It's unclear whether you mean the surgery or the complete process of sexual reassignment.
You also say %26quot;from guy to girl%26quot;, by which I assume you mean male to female.
First, let's look at just the surgery itself. Depending on the surgeon and the technique used, it takes a few hours of surgery, and several weeks of recovery time. It can cost anywhere from about $5000 to $25,000, depending on where the surgery takes place and the surgeon. It requires about a week of after care in the hospital, generally a second week in a nearby hotel, and then a couple of months of recovery as the swelling goes down and the wounds heal. The new vagina needs to be dilated two to three times a day at first, the schedule lessening as time goes by, using gradually larger and larger dilators. Dilation must be done for the rest of the patient's life, generally a couple of times a week.
If you're referring to the entire process of sexual reassignment, it takes a few years, with three as a good moderate schedule.
There are three basic elements to sexual reassignment:
1. Physical/medical/surgical.
2. Legal
3. Psychological.
The first step is identification. You must realize that you are a transsexual and desire sexual reassignment. Self identification can occur as early as four years old, and often does. I was about that age when I first told my parents.
At some point in one's teens or adulthood, the person realizes that sexual reassignment is what is best for her as a person. How one comes to this decision varies. At this point, the person must begin the process of physical reassignment.
In the current SOC, as laid out in WPATH, the organization that regulates such things, a minimum of three months of therapy is required before beginning treatment, or the same amount of time living full time. Once identified by a therapist, it's possible to begin hormonal reassignment.
Hormonal reassignment for MTFs is slow, takes many years, and produces subtle results. Restults are better the earlier one begins, less so for later transitioners.
At the same time, the patient will need to begin dealing with hair issues. This is the longest part of the physical process and takes many years. Electrolysis to remove the beard and body hair can take two to five or six years. At the same time, if there is any hair loss, hair restoration will need to be started as well, as this takes some time.
While this is going on, the transitioner will need to be working on her voice. Voice is not affected by hormones; it does not get softer, higher pitched, or change resonance. It takes a lot of dedicated practice to produce a convincingly female voice, often involving voice coaching with a professional. It also takes some time to strengthen the portion of the vocal chords that have gone unused.
It would be possible to avoid this with early enough hormone intervention, say at early puberty around eleven or twelve, but such is not currently done in the US. Early hormone intervention would also help greatly with hair and breast issues.
So we've completed three months of therapy, started hormones and hair removal, and are practicing voice. Hormones are starting to cause changes--fat redistribution to breasts, hips, buttocks, thighs.
The transitioner now needs to simultaneously be working on social transition. Learning female mannerisms, how to buy clothes that are appropriate and accumulating a wardrobe, finding venues in which it's safe to go out as one's true self. This portion of social exploration is crucial because women and men are treated much differently in ways both profound and subtle, and it takes years to become acclimated to one's new role.
Some may have facial surgery to improve the feminine appearance of one's facial features, correct a receeded hairline, or to make one more attractive or younger looking, depending on finances. Some may wait on this step, and others not take it at all.
At some point, enough practice, voice training, social training, and hair removal has taken place that the woman feels she's ready to start living as a woman 24/7. This is called %26quot;going full time%26quot;. It generally involves a legal change to one's name. Some %26quot;transition in place%26quot;, keeping the same job with the same employer, while others create a new identity in a new place where they were previously unkown. The phase following this is called the real life test or real life experience. One year is required living and working full time in the female role to qualify for SRS in the US. Some Thai surgeons are less stringent.
At the end of this year, the woman must once again undergo therapy to prove she is legally sane and pepared, and get two letters of reccommendation. She's likely still working on hair removal; this takes a very long time. She may get breast augmentation or a trachea shave with SRS.
Following the operation, things still aren't quite done. There is getting aclimated to operating in the world with a vagina rather than a penis, further social adjustments, which themselves take years, and still some get further cosmetic surgery or hair removal.
That's the standard road map. You're looking at some three years from first beginning treatment to SRS for most who have the resources; longer for those without.
I took a slightly different route. I began electrolysis well before therapy, and did some experimenting with dressing and acting the part before considering therapy. I'd been using hormones on my own for a years before I got them legitimately through therapy and an endocrinologist. Hair removal went quickly as mine was rather sparse to begin with and responded well to laser. I got facial surgery and set up SRS with a Thai surgeon who doesn't require reference letters, changed my name and got a new job as Kate in a new place, and got my SRS all in very close proximity to each other, getting SRS at the beginning of when I went full time rather than waiting a year. It took about a year of set up from the time I started in earnest to when I was physically, legally, and socially Kate; I got everything ready to go in advance and did it all very close together.
In general, you're looking at three years from first beginning treatment to being post op and legally female if you have the necessary resources. Sometimes a little quicker, sometimes a little slower.
Hormones do not effect voice at all.
You also ask about voice getting deeper and breasts changing into pectoral muscles. That would be with a female to male, which is somewhat different.
For FTMs, the hormones have a much more profound effect on external appearance. The voice gets deeper and rougher. The beard starts to grow. Scalp hair may fall out. Body hair grows, and you may develop acne problems.
Breasts do not go away or become pecs. They must be removed by surgery. Fitting in socially and physically as male is quite a bit easier than it is for MTFs. Genital surgery is less successful, and does a poor job of simulating male genitals, but everything else looks indistinguishable from any other relatively short natal male. Hormonal changes also occur much more quickly and effectively. FTM transition can be done somewhat more quickly than the other way around.
Hope this was helpful.
Sex change questions?
I think you need to look at your question.
It takes a VERY LONG Time.
A person first is put on hormones with soften the voice, slow the growth of facial hair, widen the hips (some).
Breats would need to be implanted along with other surgical procedures to create a set of female genitalia out of the male ones. The testies would be removed as well.
Many go through extensive facial %26quot;softening%26quot; surgury as well as Adam's Apple Shaving, which is very risky.
NO surgury would ever be done with out the consent of a psychologist as well as the patient having %26quot;lived the life%26quot; of a female for no less than one year. Sometimes longer.
Some Transgenders don't get the surgury(ies) at all because they are VERY costly!
try re-reading your own question alphabet person! lol! you must be desperate for attention! i'm sorry for you. life is so bad for you? why not kill yourself and let the rest of humanity go on? i know misery loves company (VA Tech) but you're taking precious time away from real ppl who have lives and wish to live them! end yours and we'll all feel better. you included. really! lmfao!!!
It takes a long time. You have to live a full year as a women before you can undergo genitalia reconstruction.
I would say about three to five years if you have to money.as for the voice changing it does for ftm's but not for mtf's and women changing their gender will have to have their boobs removed.A mtf boobs will grow some but some people still have breast implants if they are not Happy with them .
Why are some people so mean to people whom are confused with their sexuality? They can't help it.

An evangelist said that If God doesn't destroy U.S.A then He should as well have pity for sodom and gomorrh.
