Dora Richter's whereabouts known until 1939.
[edit]Apologies if this is not the place to post this, I don't generally edit and am not sure where to request a change on a protected article.
The section on the history of gender-affirming surgery states that Dora Richter's whereabouts are unknown after 1933, and that she is presumed to have died in that year. This appears to be out of synch with her own page, which states that she survived the destruction of the Institute and was alive and living as a woman in 1939. 2001:464B:A1CA:0:9065:799F:F8E9:C18F (talk) 13:43, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- @2001:464B:A1CA:0:9065:799F:F8E9:C18F: Thank you for your interest in this article! I've just stumbled accros this and you're right, this just seem out of sync. The sources given in this article didn't seem particularly suitable for such a claim in any case so I've removed this - I haven't added about her whereabouts being known in 1939 as I think it is a little off-topic in general. TL;DR: this change is Done GnocchiFan (talk) 20:43, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
Update surgery requirements with the SOC-8
[edit]The requirement to have a "1 period of real-life experience living in the desired gender" before being allowed to have gender reassignment surgery has been dropped in the newest revision of the SOC. Now the only requirement is to have 1 years of HRT hormones if cross-sex hormones are wanted and not contra-indicated
As is said in the SOC-8: "6.12.g- The adolescent had at least 12 months of gender-affirming hormone therapy or longer, if required, to achieve the desired surgical result for gender-affirming procedures, including breast augmentation, orchiectomy, vaginoplasty, hysterectomy, phalloplasty, metoidioplasty, and facial surgery as part of gender-affirming treatment unless hormone therapy is either not desired or is medically contraindicated."

April 2024 study possibly being included?
[edit]Study on Cureus/Springer Nature[1] and on NIH/PubMed[2]
From the abstract: "This study evaluates the risk of suicide or self-harm associated with gender affirmation procedures."
"Methods This retrospective study utilized de-identified patient data from the TriNetX (TriNetX, LLC, Cambridge, MA) database, involving 56 United States healthcare organizations and over 90 million patients."
"Conclusion Gender-affirming surgery is significantly associated with elevated suicide attempt risks, underlining the necessity for comprehensive post-procedure psychiatric support."
This can either be added as a very recent and WP-approved 2024 scientific source to the suicide claims or perhaps a sentence reiterating the findings of the latest study.

JAMA article "Prevalence of Gender-Affirming Surgical Procedures Among Minors and Adults" in the US:
[edit]This article in them, based on this article in JAMA reports that about 60% of gender affirming surgeries for adults in the US are "chest related" with the figure for minors an even higher 96%.
About 24% of adult gender affirming surgeries are breast reduction, and 80% of those breast reduction procedures are performed on cis-males. Among minors, 97% of breast reduction surgeries were performed on cis-males.
I'm not sure what it the best way to incorporate this into the article, but it would seem to be a good addition. As the JAMA article says "...these findings suggest that concerns around high rates of gender-affirming surgery use, specifically among TGD minors, may be unwarranted."

Possible merge?
[edit]Hi everyone. I'm wondering if it's possible to do a three to one merge. I'm looking at gender-affirming surgery (male-to-female), gender-affirming surgery (female-to-male), and the current page. Is there a reason they are separate? An option is to have the first two be sections in the overarching gender-affirming surgery page - that way, the page gets updated with more information and references. What do people think?

Nullification of Non Binary individuals with sources in a Body Modification article
[edit]Hello. I unfortunately don't have access to the source material mentioned related to Nullification surgery for Non Binary individuals (born with penis or clitoris, both are mentioned), but I did find it quite offensive that this information is mixed in an article about "Body Modification", as broad as genital piercings to FGM, yet not here. So I brought you the direct link (I know it says "emasculation" but it does have a little information of what the article refers as "nullo"(?).) I hope it helps to increase the very little information regarding gender affirming surgeries for Non Binary individuals. Thank you very much! 186.34.109.70 (talk) 04:40, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
