Hey all,

Maybe this is in the wrong part of the forum. But, it seems to me to belong here.
Has anyone seen the new TV show called "Sex Change Hospital" It's about Marci Bowers and the Trinidad Colorado hospital where she performs GRS and other assorted gender surgeries. It's an awesome show. My wife and I have watched several episodes. I think it a good and honest show about TG and transition. My opinion anyway, what does anybody else think? btw, it's on the WE network. Where I'm at you have to have diital cable to get that channel.

Also, A T-Girl named Isis recently competed on one of the bigger top model type reality shows. The one with Heidi Klum. Anyway, she (Isis) was recently on an episode of Tyra Banks (Actually the WHOLE episode was about TG related stuff, I was pleasently surprised). To make a long story short, Marci Bowers has agreed to evaluate and take Isis through the GRS, if she medically qualifies and the Tyra Banks show is going to sort of document the process. Should be interesting. It was a surprise to Isis. The look on her face when she heard she finally had a way to get through the GRS part of the transition was so heartwarming and special to me. I think I'll remember the look on her face forever, it was precious and I, in my own way, could empathise so much with her feelings.

Okay, hope all is wonderful with you and yours!

Yes, I've seen the show. It's very interesting but I was there was more about Marci. She is a very interesting person.
I drove through Trinidad a few months ago. I should have stopped by the hospital to see if there were any cancellations that day. :)

That's what I thought it stood for, but I've never heard of it.
I know of Oxygen and Lifetime and a couple others, but we must not get that one up here.

Isis was a contestant on America's Top Model, the Tyra produced and hosted show. She was actually pretty good, but had a few minor issues with the other girls (who, by and large, are usualy an ignorant, self-absorbed bunch of late teen agers...pretty...but pretty vacant!)...

Isis, though she was eliminated in the middle rounds, was gifted with SRS by Tyra... an amazing and charitable and sympathetic thing for her to do. I always liked Tyra for being such an upfront person...and now I like her even more for showing a normally unsympathetic (to us) audience (teen age girls) that trans people are people too, have hopes and dreams like everyone else, and deserve the respect that is due everyone!

I'm sure some of the Isis stuff is in youTube clips, and maybe one of the techno-nerdettes around here can tell ya how to see the whole show online! I dunno how to do that either!

:D

Techno girl on the prowl! I haven't been able to watch it all myself (work makes it hard) so don't blame me if somethings aren't right. Oh and ignore the stupid comments.

Thanks for the info.

I just got satellite (DirecTV) installed today and now can get WE on channel 260.

That's a show I'll look forward to viewing.

I sat in on a talk Dr Bowers had in Chicago, almost two years ago. Latter that day I saw her all dressed up for the evening. There was not a hint what her birth gender was previously.
