@Tooden SRS is not surgery? 😮🤷‍♀️🤯

I think we must be at cross-purposes here somehow. #SRS is the acronym for #SexReassignmentSurgery, though it has several [sometimes country-specific] similar names with associated acronyms [eg, #GAS #GenderAffirmationSurgery, #GRS #GenitalReconfigurationSurgery].

Around the period of my research into & then having of SRS in the early Oughties, there were some people using the entirely silly "definition" of #GRS as "Gender Reassignment Surgery" [silly & wrong coz the entire problem of #GenderDysphoria is that we need to fix our bodies to match our self-known gender identity, not the other way around. I truly hope that incorrect term has died out by now].

In any event, semantics aside, they all mean the same surgical procedure [in the overview, anyway, though there's variants of specific techniques].

I was/am so critical of the article coz "castration" is not simply misleading, but is specifically the sort of inflammatory pejorative used by despicable transphobes & transmisics in pursuit of their ignorant RWNJ christofascism.
