Trinidad has been dubbed the "Sex Change Capital of the World", because a local doctor had an international reputation for his sex reassignment surgery. Dr. Stanley Biber, a veteran surgeon decided to move to Trinidad because he had heard that the town needed a surgeon. At his peak, Biber was performing roughly four sex change operations a day, and the term "taking a trip to Trinidad" became a euphemism for some seeking the procedures he offered. His surgical practice was taken over in 2003 by Marci Bowers.

Trinidad's reputation as the sex change capital has been uncomfortable for some residents, as it is otherwise a socially conservative small town. However, the revenue brought in by Biber was important to keeping the local hospital running. Biber was also featured in an episode of South Park
