== Top surgery and gender identity == | |||
For [[transsexual|transsexuals]] with [[binary genders|binary]] [[gender identity|gender identities]], top surgery usually means a fairly specific variety of procedures, depending on the individual's needs to treat their [[gender dysphoria]] or make their body like that of a [[cisgender]] [[dyadic]] person of their own gender. For [[transgender women]], bottom surgery usually means augmenting the size of their breasts, which could have already been developed thanks to [[Hormone therapy]]. For [[transgender men]], it usually means removing the breast tissue from their chest so that it looks flat. | |||
Resources about top surgery usually put different kinds of surgeries into groups based on whether they are in the female-to-male or male-to-female transition spectrums. In order to make this page's resources useful and helpful to nonbinary people, people born with [[intersex]] conditions, this page instead puts different kinds of surgeries into groups based on how the body is affected. This page is written to use anatomically correct and yet gender-neutral language everywhere possible. This includes calling the surgery patient the "patient" or "person," rather than "woman" or "man," and calling the patient by [[pronouns#they|gender-neutral "they" pronouns]]. | |||
