Dr. Reed’s MTF Grants
Having an MTF vaginoplasty with reduced fees.
Last year (2008) and the year before (2007) we were very fortunate to have been a research resource for orchiectomy specimens. Regretfully this relationship was concluded last year. This was the sole basis of funds for our Grant project with one exception. A very nice prospective MTF patient made a sizeable donation to help another have an operation. She herself is on the schedule to be done soon.
What next then. Well with Dr. Reed, there is always individual consideration. This does not mean we can work for free, and surgery is a team approach and members of the team such as nurses and anesthetists expect a pay check at the end of their shift.
However, we have always offered compassionate discounts to those who have enough reserves to cover contingencies and out of pocket expenses. We do recommend a friend, loved one, or relative stay with the patient for at least 2 to 3 days. That’s an added expense although we have the availability of attendants, but they bill at about $12 an hour.
Hotel and food for a week adds up to about $650, medications, ring pillow, anti-embolism hose, about $100, stents $350.
As is, our fees are easily about $5,000 below what most are charging in the US and Canada, and we are busy.

Hello, I am reading this thinking that somewhere there has to be someone, someplace and some Money or Grants available for me to Apply for SRS/GRS.
I also need Hair removal prior to SRS/GRS and FRS/FFS and then there is Breast Augmentation.
I am a 55 year old TS Pre-op Woman with 18 years of GID Therapy, 7 years or HRT, 3 years living Full Time as Female and in May of 2009 I was awarded by the State of California Courts my New Name Change, Gender Change and New Birth Certificate as Female. I now have my Driver License, U.S. Passport and Social Security all in order and all Female.
I am under care at the Veterans Administration after my Spouse of 17 years had a Mental Breakdown and had me Kidnapped, Blackmailed, Beaten By Police, Extorted all my Savings for SRS/GRS, She also used ID Fraud and forged my Signature on several Documents Including Federal Taxes. I now am a Ghost in the Credit World with NO Credit History and indications of Fraud when looking at my Social Security Numbers. I am a Distinguished and Honorable Disabled American Vietnam Veteran with NO Police Record.
I have Children and Grandchildren and understand through other Transpersons that in “Our World” we have NO Rights Civil or otherwise. This has been proven to me time and again with Simple cases in the Courts that Judges are Bias and I can Prove and Document this. My last Landlords Husband Hit me, Assaulted me, destroyed my personal property and threatened my life…Yes I called the Police several times and then called 911. What happened was I got Evicted based on Hearsay evidence and a 3 year Restraining Order…when I tried to represent myself with Police Reports, Pictures, Witnesses, Statements and the recorded 911 Tapes the Judge told me he would NOT Accept anything from me or Listen and that he would Not Overturn this Case, then told me to get out of his courtroom. I was Homeless for 5 months and in search of an Attorney with No Luck.
My Point…..life isa not Fair and we as Transgender have No Rights. Not even the Gay and Lesbian’s will help us in Lawmaking….I am at…robins dot mitchell at pacbell dot net…and on Facebook.
I would feel more comfort in staying in the U.S. then going to something like SATORI WORLD MEDICAL, but beggers can’t be choosie..??
Take Care everyone, Happy New Years of 2011.
Love and Hugs,
Robin Summers Mitchell
seems i’ve never got anything worth having unless i much overpaid for it. am on medicaid if it will pay the whole thing. have disability from heart attack but miracle drugs could cure me. am 56 but if i could check myself into a hospital and in two or more yrs. time i would walk out such of a woman as i would care to be then i would do it. i live a very lonely life but have one reservation of storage of semen which i believe medicaid should accept although i.m fairly sure it won’t. reproductive rights are real!
I am a 24 year old male to female trans women, i have been full time for almost 2 years and have been on hrt over a year. i look like a completely normal woman except for one thing and i would give up everything to have my srs. I am looking for any help i can get. I live in a state that is not very accepting of trans people. i would love to move away but i take care of my grandfather whos health is failing. At one point in my adult life i made very good money working in the oil feild as a truck driver but when they found out of my transsition they laid me off. for the last year i have been a self employed tattoo artist wich pays the bills but doesnt leave much extra. srs is the last step to truely begin my life as the woman i was meant to be. thank you for taking the time to read this.
sincerely Misty Lane
I’ve constantly located your information helpful. It’s exciting how this written content is mentioned so frequently and yet several fail to comprehend the worth.
Dear Misty,
50% of our patient come in with a sponsor. Something to think about.
Best,
Harold M. Reed, M.D.
Hi Robin,
We do have to meet our expenses, so we cannot work for free but certainly can propose individual consideration., 50% of our patients come in with a sponsor.

the knowlege of knowing who you are is so important. gender reasignment will never make me a woman ,I already am .Being poor is so hard though, praying i’ll win the lottery or find someone who’ll hear me.i feel trapped,no money to be a happy woman, no surgery to feel complete.I spend my life doing what I can for people and it’s hard for me to ask for help…her

…So sad to hear all these stories. I am living as a man but have always been aware of my feminine persona inside. I have always found it weird that I don’t have breasts, and I have always found it weird that people think that I an a gay guy. Here in South Africa things are rough and I often dream about coming to America, or Canada, or wherever, and start the process so that I can just wake up one morning and be a girl, and go about my life. I don’t want to be rich, or a fashion icon, nothing like that. I just want to look at myself and not be confused anymore, and go to work and walk my dog and have a NORMAL life. (Well, as normal as can be!) I don’t know if I an allowed to give an e-mail address here, but if there are people out there that just want to write or chat, please do so. Any info on possible funding or ‘exchange programs’ – there’s an idea! – or grants will be appreciated.
