Hello everyone. While writing this I'm a bit disheartened as I've never been one to deal with discrimination well. Im a 24 yr old pre up male to female transsexual. I was born in Singapore but when I was 11 my parents moved to the US. Growing up I was bullied alot and people called me a fag often. But as far as i was concerned, I felt like a woman on the inside. Initially I never intended to return to Singapore because I didn't want to undergo national service as a transsexual in a now foreign country to me. People ask me why have i not gotten the sex change. I tell them its because I do not believe being given a hole that does not work like a real female sexual organ would make me any more of a woman. I feel like a woman inside and I've come to terms with who I am.
Problem is my parents are getting old, and I just cannot live with myself if they pass away and I am not able to be by their side while it happens. As of 7 years ago they returned to Singapore. Can anyone advise me on what it is like for National Service for Transsexuals? It makes me sad to be forced to identify myself as a male just because I refuse to mutilate my body through the SRS surgery. Can anyone offer me any advise?
thanks,
Karen

I think you will find more resources relating to NS in established local BGT forums.
