Using silicone

Transforming their body is one of the steps taken by every trans person (transexual , transgender, transvestite) by wearing certain clothes and accessories, or by directly altering their contexture, organs and aspect. In most countries, this process isn't included in public health services, and so it has to be payed for. Although there are clinics and specialized centres for the aesthetic transformation of the body —which is also an identity building process in the trans community—, there is also a great percentage of cases in which it is practiced by unqualified people at a very low cost and with very serious consequences, including death. However, this alternative is the only option for those who can't afford a specialist, in a context in which their job opportunities have been limited due to an identity that the society, starting with their own family, doesn't understand.
