Beschreibung
Your medical transition roadmap A fact-filled, illustrated, expert guide to the most common options available to trans women, femmes, and transfeminine nonbinary folks in the U.S. for physically transitioning. It guides you through a process for determining what, if any, changes are right for you, and how to access the care you require. Amelia Simone Hanrahan gives a clear overview of the WPATH standards that determine the types of care available and teaches you how to navigate the gatekeeping of that care. Hormone replacement therapy, breast augmentation, facial feminization surgery, bottom surgery, and hair removal and regrowth are described (with medical illustrations so you know what to expect and advocate for), and preparation and aftercare tips are provided. Hanrahan also offers guidance on social transition, dealing with dysphoria and dysmorphia, insurance, and how to pay for everything--all with an anti-capitalist lens and a trauma-informed approach. Most of all, this book provides straightforward information so you don't need to sift through misinformation and bias on the internet in order to get the healthcare you need and deserve.
