Gender Modification Sexual Reassignment Surgery Gender modification is also know as a sex change or gender reassignment. Sex reassignment surgery is a procedure that changes genital organs from one gender to another. There are two main reasons to alter the genital organs from one sex to another. Newborns with intersex deformities must early on be assigned to one sex or the other. These deformities represent intermediate stages between the primordial female genitals and the change into male genitals caused by male hormone stimulation. Newborns with ambiguous organs will almost always be assigned to the female gender unless the penis is at least an inch long. Whatever their chromosomes, they are much more likely to be socially well adjusted as females, even if they cannot have children. Both men and women occasionally believe they are physically a different sex than they are mentally and emotionally. Converting male to female anatomy requires removal of the penis, reshaping genital tissue to appear more female, and constructing a vagina. A vagina can be successfully formed from a skin graft or an isolated loop of intestine. Following the surgery, female hormones (estrogen) will reshape the body’s contours and stimulate the growth of satisfactory breasts.

CostsSome costs include pre-surgery night and five nights recuperation in hosptial, doctor’s fee and clinical interview/surgery consultation.RecoverySocial support from one’s family is important for readjustment as a member of the opposite gender. If surgical candidates are socially or emotionally unstable before the operation, over the age of 30, or have an unsuitable body build for the new gender, they tend not to fare well after gender reassignment surgery. However, in no case studied did the gender reassignment procedure diminish their ability to work. |
