Dr. Curtis Crane sees a world that leads with love and compassion. He is one of the best transgender surgeons in the entire world. His story is absolutely gripping, inspiring and so worth your time to listen.
This is a life changing interview that will certainly touch many lives.
Dr. Curtis tells us about his outstanding training at very prestigious programs with 2 residences and 2 fellowships, which is unheard of and he definitely did not plan.
He never thought he was fellowship material and was just trying to get through residency.
He was especially honored to get the fellowship under the world renowned surgeon Dr. Richard Santucci who is an academic powerhouse, who is published over 200 times.
Today Dr. Santucci is one of Dr. Curtis Crane's employees and joined his practice.
He doesn't abide by too many societal rules and loved to host huge slip and slide parties as wells as demolition derbies during his time of residency.
Dr Curtis loves to prank people and tells us about an epic prank he pulled off on applicant day with Dr. Joshua Broghammer.
His plan was to travel around the world to learn transgender surgery.
He has a heart of gold and has always helped the underprivileged patients all over the world, performing surgeries in South East Asia and Swaziland.
In 2004/2005 nobody was talking about the transgender community and they didn't have anyone to help them.
Dr. Curtis teaches us how to be compassionate about the different individual situations in the transgender community. He pleads for people to accept the transgender community for who they are,
to give them respect and that "EVERYONE DESERVES A CHANCE TO BE WHO THEY REALLY ARE"! Acknowledge the suffering and have compassion for the trans community.
We get a huge and very important lesson about the transgender community that are less than 18 years old. We talk about the frontal lobe development. Dr. Curtis tells us that children know their gender identity.
He talks so passionately about the term "chemical castration", which is the most evil term you can think of and also completely untrue. He said it is called puberty blockers and 100% reversible.
Going through puberty is really difficult, but going through puberty being the wrong gender is 100000 times worse!
He takes each patient on a case by case basis!
He shares the unbelievable story about one of his patients that he performed his youngest chest masculinization surgery on, who is a 12 year old child. This story is absolutely mesmerizing, informative and life changing.
Dr. Curtis is so very passionate about this case because he believes that if this surgery didn't happen, the child would have committed suicide.
Today he is in college and absolutely flourishing.
To Dr. Curtis all this is crystal clear and he invites anyone that has questions or issues with this to come to his clinic.
He says a lot of people empathize by putting themselves in someone else's shoes. It is impossible to empathize with the trans community in that way.
He and his clinic have taken care of 1000's of patients and he has zero idea what it is like to be trans.
The Crane Center for Transgender Surgery has performed over 600 Phalloplasty surgeries, that is the second most in the whole world.
We learn all about how an orgasm works after this surgery.
