Sex reassignment surgery

Sex reassignment surgery is when a doctor helps someone change their body so it matches how they feel inside. This is something that people often talk about when they feel like they were born with a boy or girl body, but they really feel like they are a different gender on the inside. It can be a kind of surgery that changes the way someone's body looks, like making their chest look flatter or bigger, or it can be a bigger surgery that changes parts of their body like their genitals to make them look more like the opposite sex. The goal of sex reassignment surgery is to help someone feel more comfortable and happy in their own body.
