"From November 29, the Medical Council of Thailand will strictly enforce new regulations allowing only those transgendered people aged over 18 to undergo a sexchange operation, secretarygeneral Dr Samphan Komrit said yesterday.Transgendered people aged 18-20 must have parental consent, while those over 20 can decide for themselves.
Transgendered people must also consult a psychiatrist, live as a woman for a year and receive hormone therapy before being allowed to undergo a sex change operation.
Surgeons who provide such operations must be registered with the Medical Council and treat any complications that may occur following surgery. Samphan said these regulations would raise the standard of sexchange operations.He said surgeons violating the regulations would face warnings and even revocation of their medical licence."
