The decision to have gender affirmation surgery or hormone therapy is never taken lightly. It can be frightening, but also very exciting. For many Trans people these steps towards changing their outward appearance are the culmination of years of identity struggle.

Unfortunately, as with all medical practices, treatment can go wrong and the effects can be far-reaching, cause a lot of emotional trauma, physical discomfort and pain. People electing to have these surgeries must be fully informed of the risks of undergoing gender affirmation surgery before making the decision.

There is a lot of terminology surrounding gender affirmation procedures; gender reassignment, sex change surgery, and sex reassignment surgery to name a few. We know how powerful language is, and we want to make our clients feel as comfortable with the language that we use as possible.

Gender affirmation surgery covers a range of procedures a Trans person might elect to have in order to change their appearance:

• Chest reconstruction
• Mastectomy
• Breast augmentation
• Hysterectomy
• Bottom surgery
• Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy
• Facial surgery
• Hormone therapy errors
