Summary: 3000 Have Had Sex Change (Press, 27 August 1976)
According to Dr Roberto Granato, over 3000 individuals in the United States have undergone sex change surgeries in the past decade. Dr Granato, who performed the operation on tennis player Renee Richards, highlighted that prejudice remains the primary challenge faced by those who have transitioned. Richards, who was originally named Dr Richard Raskind prior to her surgery, has consistently stated that her pursuit of official permission to compete in women's tennis is aimed at advocating for the rights of transgender individuals. Dr Granato, a urologist and professor at Columbia University, noted that the acceptance of sex-change procedures among surgeons is growing, as the medical community increasingly recognises the validity of such operations.
