Avoid terms which include "sex change" as they are inaccurate (referring to "sex" rather than "gender" and implying a "change" rather than an affirmation of an already present gender identity). Avoid terms which include the word "reassignment" as no reassignment is taking place (assigned sex at birth is still assigned and such procedures are in no way tied to legal reassignment) and it implies that one's gender identity is tied solely to the surgery, rather than an internal representation of self. GAS Use terms like "gender confirmation surgery", "gender-affirming surgery", or "gender-validating surgery" when discussing such procedures, but outside of a clinical context, allow the person to guide discussion about these processes (i.e. it is inappropriate to ask a transgender person if they've "had the surgery" or the like). gender affirmation surgery gender affirming surgeries gender confirmation surgery gender confirming surgery gender correction surgery gender surgery gender-affirming surgery gender-confirmation surgery gender-validating surgery operation for gender transmutation operation for sex transformation operation for sexual transformation sex conversion operation sex conversion surgery sex transformation operation surgery in transsexuals surgical treatment for transsexualism the surgery transexual surgery transgender surgery transgender-related surgery transsexual surgery intersex surgery gender affirming medical intervention surgical procedure by type transgender ট্রান্সজেন্ডার transkønnet transgender transgénero transgenre ट्रांसजेंडर տրանսգենդեր transkjønnet transgênero transgjinor transcinsiyet sex reassignment surgery chirurgie de réassignation sexuelle सेक्स रिअसाइनमेंट सर्जरी sex change operation gender reassignment surgery The A – Z of Gender and Sexuality: From Ace to Ze
