About

Lower (more commonly referred to as "bottom") surgery for male-to-female (MtF) transition can refer to vaginoplasty, orchiectomy, penectomy, and/or labiaplasty. (Yes, there needs to be more explanation of these...) Vaginoplasty, with or without labiaplasty, is often referred to as SRS (sex reassignment surgery), GRS (genital reconstruction surgery / gender reassignment surgery), or GCS (gender confirmation surgery) -- although some of these terms may also be used to refer to other types of gender-transition surgery as well.
