31/5/2018 0 Comments Surgery TalkLast night I went to a talk and Q&A given by Dr. Kim. Dr. Kim is the surgeon that has started doing gender confirmation surgeries at the University of Minnesota.
He had a long presentation on the various surgeries that are currently being done and those that will be added as time goes by. It was pretty interesting and at times pretty gruesome. At the end he took some questions. I asked if he would be doing "Limited Depth Vaginoplasty", since that is what I am interested in. I was disappointed in how he responded. He only had two reasons that he felt would qualify someone for the procedure, neither were my reasons. I cannot see myself doing the full depth surgery for so many reasons. Hopefully he will broaden his understanding as to why someone might want this procedure after I have my consultation on August 3rd. The group in attendance last night was very small. There were 3 people I knew for sure were trans, one that I had my suspicions about and 4-5 others that I am guessing were other health care professionals. The 3 of us that were trans were there only because I knew this talk was going to happen because my therapist told me about it and I shared the information. They need to work on their outreach.
