Chirurgies d'affirmation de genre

Cet épisode de la chaîne Sexplanations, présenté par la Dre Lindsey Doe, passe en revue les options chirurgicales que certaines personnes choisissent pour modifier leur corps en lien avec le genre et la sexualité. Il introduit des termes courants comme pré-opératoire, post-opératoire, non-opératoire, chirurgie du haut et chirurgie du bas, avec de brèves définitions de procédures précises. L'épisode aborde aussi des ressources d'expérience et de soutien, réalisé avec la collaboratrice de recherche Blake.

• Définitions de termes : pré-op, post-op, no-op, chirurgie du haut et chirurgie du bas
• Brèves explications de procédures comme l'hystérectomie et l'ovariectomie
• Ressources de soutien et témoignages, avec des liens vers le conseil et les chaînes de la présentatrice

For anyone looking for guidance about their gender experience and decision making process I recommend BetterHelp. Here's their site: http://betterhelp.com/sexplanations to try online counseling today. This episode has been in the making for years. I knew that I wanted to talk about the surgical ways that people transform their body's related to gender and sexuality but how and when I did it took some time to determine. This year Blake, a long time sexpla(i)naut and research assistant for the channel visited me in Missoula and we figured out a way to communicate this topic in a way that I think is very cool -- terminology, experience, and resources for support. Here is a list of the terms for reference: Pre-op/pre-operation: before desired gender affirmation surgery Post-op/post-operation: after desired gender affirmation surgery No-op/no-operation: decided not to have gender affirmation surgery Top surgery: operations on the chest to affirm gender Mammoplasties/breast augmentation: surgical modification of the chest Bottom surgery: operations on the genitals or reproductive organs Hysterectomy: removal of a uterus and often the cervix Oophorectomy: removal of one or more ovaries, often including the fallopian tubes Orchiectomy: removal of one or more testicles Penectomy: removal of a penis Vaginectomy: surgical removal of a vaginal canal and the closing of the vaginal opening Vaginoplasty: surgical creation of a vulva Chondrolaryngoplasty/tracheal shave: type of facial feminization surgery in which the thyroid cartilage that protrudes in the neck (an Adam’s Apple) is shaved down with a scalpel to give it flatter appearance Feminization laryngoplasty: changing the voice box and vocal cords of the larynx to raise the pitch of one’s voice I hope you learn something useful and stay curious. If you have any questions or comments about the episode I usually read and respond in the comments section for an hour after uploading a video.
