Nepal Conducts First Successful Sex Reassignment Surgery

Nepal has performed its first successful sex change surgery!

This means someone who was born as a male has now become a female through an operation.

The surgery was done at a hospital in Kathmandu, the capital city.

Before this, people had to go to other countries, like Thailand, to have this surgery.

Now, people in Nepal can have this surgery done at home, which is easier and cheaper.

A leader in the third gender community is asking the government to decide exactly how to define a transgender person's gender.
