Talk:Gender-affirming surgery

Hello. I unfortunately don't have access to the source material mentioned related to Nullification surgery for Non Binary individuals (born with penis or clitoris, both are mentioned), but I did find it quite offensive that this information is mixed in an article about "Body Modification", as broad as genital piercings to FGM, yet not here. So I brought you the direct link (I know it says "emasculation" but it does have a little information of what the article refers as "nullo"(?).) I hope it helps to increase the very little information regarding gender affirming surgeries for Non Binary individuals. Thank you very much! 186.34.109.70 (talk) 04:40, 31 July 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

References 15, 17, and 68 appear to be incorrectly used in the "Quality of Life" section. I could not find the cited information in those articles. Crswong888 (talk) 05:40, 11 September 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

Some trans people have health conditions including diabetes, asthma, and HIV. This statement assumes a higher prevalence of HIV among trans individuals compared to other groups, yet this is not supported by conclusive scientific evidence or reliable citations. Such assertions can perpetuate harmful stigma and should therefore be excluded or carefully substantiated with reputable sources. Thank you Francescomp04 (talk) 01:10, 26 October 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

Thanks for pointing this out, I can see how it might be read that way. I've reworded it to make it clearer that HIV is a factor in treatment rather than being correlated with transgender people. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 01:46, 26 October 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

The page leads with aesthetic, appearance and resemblance, which only applies to non-intersex people, very rarely referred to as unisex, monosex?

It could be sensitivly written for distinction and clarity, as some intersex people may retain their new gender type of fully "functional" genitalia after surgery, in that egg, sperm production or childbearing is possible, where as for monosex often choose sterility, "non functional" gonads and lose all possibility of reproduction. As of 2024, the technology for functional transition simply doesn't exist yet. Can this be written carefully using the right terminology by someone more sensitive?

The tab under 'Surgical procedures' has a bit of an odd structure. What is supposed to be the difference between subsections Other surgeries and Scope and procedures? The first two paragraphs from Scope and procedures seem like they should be in the intro of the entire section, while the rest can be folded in with Other surgeries.

I would also argue that rather than having subsections for 'trans men', 'trans women' and 'non-binary people', they should be titled around 'transmasculine/transfeminine' or 'AMAB/AFAB' written out fully, of ocurse), with perhaps a section that specifically names bigenital and gender nullification procedures separately. This would more accurately categorize the procedures discussed. The current organization subtly reinforces the misconception that only/all binary trans people get gender affirming surgeries. A new structure would be more neutral. SlipknotRlZZ (talk) 02:06, 14 November 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
