Scientific Background
Our Methods
When I was ending my MSc. degree in sexology, I went to the XVth World Congress of Sexology in Paris, 2001
where I presented and discussed two papers about the gender identity formation and the brain. The papers I wrote in co-authorship with Prof. Pedro Jurberg, PhD.
A lot of people then asked me to help them with my experience with these gender matters, and I came back with the intention to do something.
Then we started the idea to develop a method through the web, to help people. During the end of 2002 we had the method developed,
and from 2003 on we are evaluating cents of people, all around the world.
The first part of all method is the EVALUATION.
We have two kinds of evaluation, a COMPLETE and a SIMPLIFIED one.
When someone may feel as a TS/HBS or a TG - when there are feelings of uneasiness with the body, and the patient would
like to develop really body changes, we need to perform the COMPLETE evaluation. On the contrary, when the patient "a priori"
considers not body changes, or mild ones, we may consider the SIMPLIFIED evaluation.
If a patient, after a simplified evaluation intends hard body changes, or through the tests shows the need to more than mild changes, we
ask the patient to complete the evaluation.
An evaluated patient inside Gendercare has rights.
If the patient confirms with the complete evaluation a TS/HBS or TG condition, the patient has the right, if would like to, to
start the transition (MtF or FtM) with our supervision - through our TransPack - a pack of supervision and counseling for hormone therapy (HRT) and
transition, at the due price.
If the patient would like to have only a HRT referral letter and develop the transition without our supervision, at the due price
we may send the patient the referral letter.
Even if, one day, after the due time, the patient which transition was developed without our counseling, intend to have our
SRS referral letter, he/she may pay for it and receive it, after he/she shows us he/she is prepared and transitioned for it.
Crossdressers and some intergenders perhaps need not a full evaluation, but a simplified one.
All evaluations, complete or simplified NEED the MFX or FMX tests. These tests are mandatory for all evaluation - the MMPI is
necessary for the complete evaluation only. All patients need to pay for a Start.
With any surgery - mainly SRS surgery referral letters, we would like to be informed about the surgeon and the consitions of the
surgery. We would like to be in touch with the surgeon/clinic/hospital and to follow the progress and problems with the
patient.
For MtF's we have a fundamental program to supervise the post-op for the SRS - to be sure the dilation will be perfect, and the
patient will be ready soon to have a normal sexual life.
