At one point everyone thought it was just called a "sex change".
But at some point it got called "sex reassignment surgery". OK, this one sounds good, more on why in a second...
But then it got changed to "Gender reassignment surgery". This one is probably worst, more in a sec...
NOW it is called "Gender confirmation (or corrective) surgery". This sounds about at PC and ridiculous as calling a janitor a "sanitation specialist".
But about SRS -
Some TG say "sex is between the legs and gender is between the ears". I think a lot of us could agree to that.
So if you are changing to lower parts of the opposite sex, then yeah, "sex reassignment surgery" sounds polite, correct, factual. Sex is, in this case, another word for genitals.
So when it started getting called "GRS", so lower parts are called "gender" now? I thought "gender" was between the ears, as many other TS have said. But this wasn't good enough. They had to start calling it "gender corrective surgery" or some crap.
Was this to appease some of the overly sensitive TG? If a TG has to have the most PC terms in the world used to describe surgery, how are they going to react in the real world when someone is not so nice about things? Maybe this is one of those cases where a TS just isn't ready for the realities of living as a TG person.
What then will be the next name of SRS when too many TG get their feelings hurt or are offended because they decide that "gender confirmation surgery" is somehow too harsh?
It is getting to the point where some TG take offense at ANYthing gender related. The more this happens, the more annoyed the general public becomes. People eventually quit walking on eggshells.
