Surgery: Gender Affirmation (GAS); Sex Reassignment (SRS); Genital Reconstruction (GRS)
Surgery has proven to be an effective intervention for the patient with gender dysphoria.
Patient satisfaction following surgery is high,
And reduction of gender dysphoria following surgery has psychological and social benefits.
As with any surgery, the quality of care provided before, during, and after surgery has a significant impact on patient outcomes.
Not for everyone!

Language
Non-judgmental
The majority of transgender people who have had surgical or medical alterations of their bodies are very satisfied with the results
Devaluing
Sadly, health care providers often use disparaging language or tones of voice when talking to clients about the clients' surgical or medical body alterations or desires for body alterations
