CANADA – Nova Scotia facilitates sex changes with free ‘readiness letters’ from health service
There is a nurse available to teach female patients how to inject themselves with testosterone, and the service also helps make arrangements for sex change surgeries that take place in Montreal.
A health service in Halifax, Nova Scotia has announced that a social worker will be available for the next several months to provide free “readiness letters” for people seeking experimental sex changes in the province.
The Halifax Sexual Health Centre (HSHC) shared a “new service alert” on its Instagram account Tuesday stating that thanks to the Mental Health Foundation, the service will be offering “psychosocial assessments” which it defines as “readiness letters” for hormone therapy and gender-affirming surgeries.
