Mmmmmm.... not really. It has some functionality changes, but then: what surgery doesn't?
Mild or severe or anywhere between... doesn't matter so much.Quote:It can involve Hysterectomy, Mastectomy, chest reconstruction, Face reconstruction, as well as hormones and therapy, for examples. I think that the range and scope of the surgeries involved is why it is classified to my knowledge as cosmetic.
My, but that was a short list. And to think... most of those are *completely* for cosmetic reasons; the rest are heavily impacted by cosmetics.
Self-image is a pretty solid motivator, and it's fairly frustrating to be misgendered for most of the trans community.
Range and scope have nothing to do with whether a thing be altering apparence by intent.

Ok. You win.
Actually, I'm attempting to spare those who might not know squat about transsexuality from the misinformation you are providing. That's why I'm being extra sure to be extra explanatory.
It's true, I do... but you probably don't know why, and that is unfortunate. I'd love to help you out, but I cannot teach those who are unwilling to learn
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
