Gender confirmation surgery: a guide for trans and non-binary people is an accessible, up to date guide to a wide range of surgical options.
It aims to give the reader an overview of the whole process, with information and advice about each procedure, including deciding if surgery is right for you, planning and recovery, key questions for your surgeon, sexual health and fertility, and insight into what to expect in the years following an operation.
Plus illustrations by Nicholai Avigdor Melamed and interviews throughout with trans and non-binary people talking about their decision making, going through surgery, how they handled recovery and much more.
I can't help but wish that this fantastic resource had been around when I first embarked on my own surgical journey. The comforting and enlightening nature of this book makes it a must-read for everyone, regardless of their gender identity. By delving into the nuances of the trans experience, which is truly unique to each person, this book fosters a deeper understanding and appreciation for the diverse journeys people undertake.
