TRANSformation - What does transgender mean?

Part one of our series on what it means to be transgender and the importance of sexual reassignment surgery (SRS) and how it's helping transgendered individuals define themselves. Reporter Lynn Colliar speaks with Dr. Cameron Bowman, the only trained sexual reassignment surgeon in Western Canada, currently residing in BC. Lynn also interviews BC's Chief Surgical Assessor who discusses what it means to be transgendered, what's involved in 'getting ready' for transition and how attitudes towards transgendered individuals have changed over the years. Lynn also speaks with Cadence Matthews, a male--to-female (MTF) woman in her twenties who told her parents when she was five that she was a girl. Cadence has had recent SRS surgery, and has more booked this month, and shares her story.
