replies: text: Indeed. The article is quite complete regarding binary gender identities (masculine and feminine) and some of those procedures are used by non-binary people, but it lacks information about nullification surgery, which is used by some non-binary amab and agender people currently, it's becoming available in the US. 186.34.109.70 (talk) 17:38, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

message: When did Gender "Reassignment" Surgery become Gender "Affirming" Surgery? Given that at least some people have undergone surgery and subsequently regretted it, "affirmation" seems like an inappropriately decisive term. There's a whiff of "agenda pushing" coming through. 86.14.43.73 (talk) 12:09, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

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)
replies: text: 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.

message: 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."

message: Study on Cureus/Springer Nature and on NIH/PubMed
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.
