Gender affirmation surgery?

Breast implants are gender affirming surgery, right?* While I'd guess the term "affirmation" is preferred by the trans community for the removal of biologically normal male genitalia, I think the term is 1. judgemental + value-laden and 2. misleading and non-specific. I also don't believe any type of medical procedure should be characterized as "affirming" since if I were to have that surgery (being a biological male), it sure as heck wouldn't be affirming. That is, the "affirmation" depends on the context and therefore it is that context that determines whether or not the physical facts are "affirming" or mutilations or even crippling. (*I note that breast implants are also a common procedure on male (identifying) patients - not sure if they want to appear more muscular or if the more common objective is to have female-typical boobs, Id guess the former...).98.21.247.38 (talk) 16:10, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

For some reason the term being used in the article was "genital affirmation surgery", which is an unusual term. I have adjusted it to the much more standard "gender affirmation surgery". Regardless of your opinions on the subject, it is a commonly used term and is appropriate to use here. GorillaWarfare (talk) 17:09, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

First marriage

Is there a reason why the infobox spouse slot mentions

Charles Rogers

​

(m. 2002)​

and not the first marriage "married to a woman and had two children"?

If privacy is an issue, at least a mention of a previous marriage? By including the Rogers marriage and not the first, it gives the false impression that the first did not exist. Are there any other marriages that should not be included? If there is a reason, an HTML comment should state it in the spouse slot. --Error (talk) 10:39, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Is there a reliable source that provides the name of her first spouse? It may be because it's difficult to represent a spouse whose name is not known in the infobox field. GorillaWarfare (talk) 17:09, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

The legacy section

At the time of writing this section seems exceptionally poorly written. There are massive randomly selected quotes mixed in with one single actual piece of recognition all in a hard to parse jumble. I'm planning on trimming most of the section, or possibly just deleting it and moving the magazine mention to another section. Before I do that I'd like to hear if any editors think it should be taken in a different direction. XeCyranium (talk) 03:58, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
