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.
