[edit] Who was first?

According to the article on Lili Elbe, she was the first recipient of male-to-female sex-reassignment surgery as early as the 1930s, which would predate Cowell's claim. Rodparkes 02:39, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Lili Elbe was the first known MTF transsexual to undergo vaginoplasty. There are cases of castration and penectomy of MTF transsexuals going back thousands of years. (Also, there was another vaginoplasty patient before Lili Elbe, and others in the 20-year span). I've edited the article to add detail and remove inconsistencies.Glamrockboy (talk) 10:13, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
