Heard of, but illegal. Such spells are set down in our "Codex of Forbidden Magic", and only taught to the most powerful and trustworthy Unicorn sorcerors.

Understanding that some people have a Gender Identity that does not fit their sex, sex change is completely legal, provided a given individual is diagnosed with Gender Identity Disorder by a psychologist, and the surgery is then viewed as necessary for psychological health of the individual and therefor paid for by the government; any nation that outlaws it is forcing individuals with Gender-Identity Disorder to live in a body that does not match their mind, which can lead to serious depression, and to force a person to live in a body that is not their own is barbarism.
(As a side note, if a given individual does NOT have good psychological or physiological reason to have a sex change, they of course have to pay for it themselves.)

They aren't illegal, but they are also not covered by the national healthcare system nor is coverage of such operations required of any private health insurance programs.

sure. change sex. change species. change the colors and markings in your fur. change fur to scales and scales to fur. or feathers. skin without one of the three is not considered attractive though. dna cures for most conditions that result in naked skin are free and available. well there are a few unfortunate souls who have medical conditions that result in naked skin that can only wear prosthetic "clothing" to hide it. fortunately such conditions are extremely rare.

Yeah, it's legal, but gender dysphoria is a virtually unknown phenomenon in Helladria due to a remarkable level of gender non-consciousness. It's also anathema to the culture. Good luck finding a licensed medical practitioner in the Helladric Empire who is willing to prescribe hormone therapy for a non-existent condition, let alone surgery. There is a good chance you may find yourself with a different prescription for anxiety, depression, or hypochondria though.

Sex-change operations are fully legal in Murcielago. However, the vast majority of said operations are performed on foreigners (medical tourists), rather than on native Murcielagenses. Fewer than 0.001% of Murcielagenses have had, or plan to have, a sex-change operation.

Sex change was outlawed in 1992
Kalaspia-Shimarata's flag represents the Union between K&S. The dark blue represents the sea and the light blue represents the sky. In Kalashi language considers light blue and dark blue to be different colours. England colonised, and unified K&S, between 1774 and 1953, and English, light blue and dark blue are considered to be the same colour. Therefore, the contrast between dark blue and light blue represents the union, but the differences between K&S where as blue being two but simultaneously one colour represents K&S being two, but simultaniously one entity. The opposite to the symmetry represents the unity and indipendance of K&S, whilst also representing the Kalashi culture of opposite symmetry.KS is 75% Christian, hence the cross.

Hormones, Threapists and Surgeries concerning are all covered under our universal healthcare system.

A legal change of gender on the birth certificate can be arranged once a threapist hasd signed off on it.

If someone wants a sex change so be it

If they feel they were born the wrong sex they can change it at their own expense

Yes. It is not a very common practice, but you can find doctors able and willing to perform the surgeries. While our society is extremely tolerant towards gays and a few other things involving sex between consenting sapient adults, this is one some people still have a problem with though. Violence against them is unheard of however.

If you get a sex-change, you will have to meet with a consulate worker about whether or not should keep your citizenship and what changes need to be made to it about name. Even if you were born here. Although, we are looking at over-turning that law

In the Democratic Republic of Superbia (D.R. Superbia), sexual realignment surgery has always been legal, accepted by the government as a legitimate term to alter birth certificates and other legal documents denoting a beings name and gender and anti-discrimination laws have been set up to prosecute those who prevent people electing to undertake this procedure safely and healthily - both physically and mentally.

People born with undefined genitalia are allowed to undertake voluntary sexual realignment surgery at the governments expense when they reach the minimum age of 18 years old or any time after that, but not after 60 years of age and only once. Any surgery relating to sexual realignment that is not continuous of the free surgery is only to be undertaken at the patients' own expense. A maximum of 2 sexual realignment surgeries are allowed to be undertaken under (D.R. Superbia) law, however.

Yes, the government will pay for a sex change in fact. Before you can have a sex change you must see three psychiatrists over the course of a one year period, if they decide you truly want a sex change they will approve it. This is done so you the sex-changee does not regret it afterwards.

Yes with a but. Primarily because the myth of "gender" is not widely accepted. And secondarily because "transexuals" are given therapy to help deal with their body dysmorphic disorder instead of being given surgery.

The only time you can apply for it is if you don't have body dysmorphic disorder. Which almost none qualify for...

Ooh, nice shot. I kind of had the feeling there'd be somebody too.

And to keep people from propagating a rather annoyingly patronising myth... transsexuality has nothing to do with socialisation or gender roles. It's caused by what's basically a body dysmorphic disorder -- the brain is "typed" as being the opposite sex from the physical body. As such, transsexuals tend to realise they are different at a very early age. It is not genetic (and as such cannot be "bred out" through genetic engineering), it cannot be trained out (any more than a blue-eyed person can be "trained" to have brown eyes) and apart from changing the sex of the affected individual the only theoretical "cure" is some advanced FT-level brain surgery performed at a sufficiently early age as to not harm the individual psychologically. As well, every human society, however "enlightened", will still have a transsexual population. They might go into hiding if it's not socially acceptable, but much like homosexuals they can't be stamped out.


I find your statement here to be suspect, so citations would be nice. Furthermore, in Helladria there is no gender. People don't even keep track of whether they or anyone else is a given sex. This also results in a failure to perceive sex as a dichotomy. To Helladrians, it's like wishing your hair or eyes were a different color, and a desire to change sex isn't so different from a desire to change your eye color.

As for "this does not make your nation more tolerant or enlightened as some seem to believe it does, sorry." I make no pretense that everything Helladria does is done in the name of tolerance or even enlightenment, sorry. Culture's funny like that.

Sex-Change is illegal in this country but even if it were legal, no one would perform it as nobody would have gender issues as we are not stupid enough to have "male personalities" and "female personalities" as all personalities are seen genderless and unisex and we are the exact opposite of a conformist society (the irony is conformists get mocked, but it would be difficult to be a conformist anyone as everyone is too individual and proudly embrasses their individuallity, the way it should be!)

EDIT:Although this is just as accepted as the opposite, I did not mean indviduallity as in doing everything alone and as an individual, I meant individual as a personality

Kalaspia-Shimarata's flag represents the Union between K&S. The dark blue represents the sea and the light blue represents the sky. In Kalashi language considers light blue and dark blue to be different colours. England colonised, and unified K&S, between 1774 and 1953, and English, light blue and dark blue are considered to be the same colour. Therefore, the contrast between dark blue and light blue represents the union, but the differences between K&S where as blue being two but simultaneously one colour represents K&S being two, but simultaniously one entity. The opposite to the symmetry represents the unity and indipendance of K&S, whilst also representing the Kalashi culture of opposite symmetry.KS is 75% Christian, hence the cross.
