by DiegoThe Health Ministry of Brazil just released a piece of news that will get queens screaming from Rio all the way to No Parking. The country will offer free sex-change operations to any of its citizens that are judged fit to go to the other side. That's like yelling "Free rim jobs" on 8th Avenue. Total pandemonium.
The law passed after federal prosecutors argued that sexual reassignment surgery is covered under the constitution -- which guarantees medical care as a basic right. And here in America all we want is a little paper saying we are married, we can't even get that. Down south they are giving brand new coochies out like chupa chups at the Flag Day parade.
Gay audiences applauded the decision, obviously, but one can smell South American homophobia in the way the Federal Court describes transexuality: "a sexual identity disturbance where individuals need to change their sexual designation or face serious consequences in their lives, including intense suffering, mutilation and suicide.” That's all fun and games, but wording it a "disturbance" reveals a kind of hetero-centric attitude Latin America is known for. If anything, Brazilians may even think gay-ness in general is reduced to a desperate need some men have to become women. Which makes no theoretical sense. On the pragmatic side, however, the more pussy-needy queens will no longer have to move to Europe to be prostitutes in order to save up for their surgery. Bitches can stay right where they are and just get in line. And what a long line it'll be! Next!
Patients must be at least 21 years old and diagnosed as transsexuals with no other personality disorders and must undergo psychological evaluation for at least two years. No word if a rush service is available. So get on it, bitches.
