Talk:Gender-affirming surgery

Further Medical Considerations

The medical considerations section of this article only covers a brief overview of considerations and complications and does not go into detail regarding male/female specifics such as vaginal stenosis, urinary tract issues, tracheal cartilage shaving effecting the diameter of the trachea, just to name a few. Add focus on organ systems of the body and how gender reassignment can affect those, such as the cardiovascular system, respiratory system and the endocrine system.

If you think these issues are common please do the research and cite proper sources, contemplating on what you may think happens does not help marginalized communities like people who underwent GAS. 188.167.251.99 (talk) 18:21, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

Nonbinary people should be mentioned

Nonbinary people should be mentioned. For example, under "other surgeries", there could be a line that says "for nonbinary people, these surgeries may include any of these" 76.106.22.9 (talk) 21:01, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

Split "By country"?

I can make this a formal split proposal if desired, but for now I'll just ask, would anyone objecting to splitting the rather long "By country" section to Legal status of gender-affirming surgery? -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 05:36, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

No objections. It is getting to the point where it should have its own article. Sideswipe9th (talk) 01:14, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

A positive reason for splitting is that there's definitely scope to increase the number of countries covered within this. There's several I can think of off-hand for which reliable sourcing exists, like Ireland, Australia, Sweden, Belgium, and that should be included in this list(icle) but currently aren't. While we could add them here, the more that we add now the greater the reason to split the content out. Sideswipe9th (talk) 02:57, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

Related to the above content, I've just done a terminology update on it, replacing the now archaic sex reassignment surgery with gender-affirming surgery, along with some copy edits, and a rewrite of the Cuban content due to a potential COPYVIO/CLOP issue. I've also tagged several of the countries with {{update inline}}, as there was several cases of content not having been updated in the last ten to twenty years.

 Split to Legal status of gender-affirming healthcare. Still need to write a summary-style paragraph here. I did some cleanup during the split process, but the new article could still use a fair bit more, if anyone's up to it. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 05:18, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

What are the surgeries for agender people like me?

I apologise to ask but I'm from a third world country and I English is not my native language, I'm self-taught. If the topic is "gender affirming surgery", what are the options for agender people like me? In my country trans feminine and trans masculine people no longer need sex reassignment surgery to legally change their names and registral sex and there is awareness of non binary people (yet not recognised legally, if someone wants to bear the "X" reserved for intersex people on their legal documents, they must pay for a civil court case, for trans people is free). As an agender person I never asked myself about surgeries, but now, what are those? Do they even exist? Thanks in advance. 186.34.109.70 (talk) 02:00, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Thank you! I'll add this to the Masculinizing hormone therapy article. Lastchapter (talk) 19:18, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

Nullification surgery for agender people.

The article lacks information about Nullification surgery for agender people, as Gender-affirming surgery. I can't edit since the article is closed and I do not own an account. Thanks in advance. 186.34.109.70 (talk) 23:00, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Any WP:MEDRS about the topic? EvergreenFir (talk) 23:11, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Indeed. The article is quite complete regarding binary gender identities (masculine and feminine) and some of those procedures are used by non-binary people, but it lacks information about nullification surgery, which is used by some non-binary amab and agender people currently, it's becoming available in the US. 186.34.109.70 (talk) 17:38, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
