Alexis Arquette to have sex reassignment surgery

Dear Alexis,

I am also a transsexual woman and will be having my vaginoplasty done in June in Thailand. Good luck in finding your real self. I’m sure you’ll be elated to finally become a complete woman.

Love,

Alexis R

Hi Alexis - what a trip - I think you are devilishly gorgeous no matter what sex and I applaud you for your decision to take control over your own sexuality. If you would be interested in writing a book on your life, I would be most happy to help you write it - you are a most interesting person. Kathy AKA Mercedez Bendz

Alexis is one of the truest people I have ever had the pleasure to meet… if someone has contact with him tell him that i am looking for him. I am excited for him and feel it is resally the most perfect thing he could do. you are such a pretty person inside and out Miss Alexis.

I wish Alexis the best and hope that she has had adequate counseling. I support the TRUE transexual community 100% but have real concerns about clients getting adequate therapy in their search for their true self. As a psychologist and researcher who has worked closely with transexuals and studied their progress, both pre and post operatively, I have found that unfortunately SOME allegged transexuals who complete SRS in fact should NOT have been reassigned due to psychological reasons….ie: they were NOT true transsexuals, and were in fact suffering from a loathing of their own sex (usually due to childhood sexual abuse and/or other issues) and therfore thought that because they loathed their own sex, they MUST want to be the other sex, then slipped through the cracks in their fragmented therapy, being bounced from therapist to therapist, none of whom really knew how to deal with transsexuals. It is most certainly possible for one to pass all of the tests and achieve SRS even though they are NOT truly a transsexual. My advice to all who are considering SRS, get GOOD counseling and be absolutely certain that what you really want is to be the other sex. One of my clients found out only too late that they were no happier after SRS than they were before…and that it was a mistake. I have heard of other such cases also. The answer is adequate, non-fragmented therapy by QUALIFIED therapists. Good luck to all who endeavor to reassign themselves.
