gender reassignment surgery

surgical or medical procedures in which transgender and nonbinary individuals align their existing sexual characteristics with that of their perceived gender; this may include what is called top or bottom surgery. Part of the treatment for gender dysphoria.

Not to be confused with corrective surgery, in which medical practitioners perform surgery – typically on babies and infants, before they are at an age to consent – to ‘normalise’ intersex variations.
