"Pioneer for Gender Affirmation Surgery (Sex Change Surgery) in India"
I wanted to create a place for a very neglected and often misunderstood group of our society: the Gender Incongruent (transgender) population.
A place where transgender individuals would receive proper medical care and assistance - instead of oftentimes dying lonely and with unbelievable pain because of the outcomes of the "surgeries" they received and which they allowed to happen because they didn't know any better - no one educated them on what they were agreeing to.
That is why in my vision Olmec also had to be a place of teaching transgender individuals about proper medical care. It also had to be a place to teach families and society as a whole about what it means to be transgender to create tolerance and understanding. This is now reality.

Gender Incongruence/ Gender Dysphoria/Gender Identity Disorder:
Gender Incongruence is defined as marked/persistence incongruence between one’s assigned sex at birth (biological sex) and the experienced or felt/perceived gender. Gender Incongruence is also known as Gender Identity Disorder (GID) or Gender Dysphoria.
As per WHO Declaration (May, 2019), Gender Incongruence is no more a Psychiatric Illness.
The treatment is popularly known as Transition or Transformation (Male to Female transition and Female to Male transition).
The first step in the path of treatment /transitioning journey of a transsexual /transgender (both MtF or FtM) is to get the diagnosis of Gender Incongruence/Gender Dysphoria. This is established by an experienced psychiatrist who specially deals in the field of Transgenderism. Depending on the situation, psychological counselling may be advised for a certain period.
Once the diagnosis of Gender Dysphoria is established, Hormonal Therapy is instituted in accordance to Endocrinologist. This is also known as Medical Transition. Hormone therapy in transgenders (Transmen and Transwomen) is popularly known as HRT. Hormonal Replacement Therapy in Female to Male transgenders is also known as T (Testosterone) Therapy. Oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone blockers (T- blockers) are the mainstay for male to female medical transition.
After a certain period of hormonal treatment, sex reassignment surgeries (procedures) are carried out also known as Surgical Transition. The usual practice followed is as per WPATH standards/guidelines, though the guidelines are quite flexible and vary individual to individual.
