Gender Confirmation Surgery
Gender Confirmation Surgery (GCS), also known as gender reassignment surgery, is a medical procedure that helps individuals transition from their assigned gender at birth to their identified gender. This surgery can involve various procedures, including breast augmentation, vaginoplasty, or phalloplasty, depending on the individual's needs and goals.
GCS is often part of a broader transition process that may include hormone therapy and psychological support. It is typically pursued by individuals diagnosed with gender dysphoria, a condition where a person experiences significant discomfort with their assigned gender. The surgery aims to align an individual's physical appearance with their gender identity.
