Chile transgender: 'Growing up here is torture'
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-44237691From the article:
Chile, where they live, is socially conservative, and transgender people who want to change their name have to go through a lengthy application which can take years to complete.
Transgender rights groups say it is a humiliating process which involves getting reports from psychologists and psychiatrists, and stripping off to have naked photos taken to show what sex they are.
