How look sex change of Russian men (18+)

In Russia, hundreds of people feel that they are not in their body. But chance to do a sex change operation only few. American photographer Lise Sarfati back in the 90s captured as Russian men become women.

In an effort to change their sex there is nothing usual — about 0.3% of the population (not depending on the country and time) are born with a sense of belonging to the other sex. In an age of scientific and technological progress in the conversion of a man and a woman a woman in a man became commonplace.

The first sex change operation took place in 1953 in Denmark, in the Soviet Union (in Riga) — in 1970. Since such operations throughout the world have been several hundred thousand.

Several years ago, the British Journal of Urology BJU International conducted a survey of more than 200 people to change their sex from male to female. They all underwent surgical removal of the penis, urethra, and the formation of the movement of the labia. In addition, 93% were awarded the clitoris, created from a portion of the head of the penis and the vagina was formed in 91% of operations.

Age surveyed patients was an average of 43 years (range 19 to 76 years), most of them alternating field for 3 years before the study. 91% was formed by an artificial clitoris, 89% — the vagina. The study found that 23% of transsexuals are regular sex life, 61% are satisfied with the depth of the vagina; 98% of the clitoris sensitive, 48% are able to have an orgasm, 14% of the sensitivity of the clitoris was excessive, but no one wanted to remove the organ.
