The recomendation to surgery (best that my gendertherapist will write) will contain three lines and diagnose, surgery is recomended, no contra-indications. Nothing more. Is the recomendation good enough?

The question is: Good enough for whom?

I don't know, it's not for me to decide. Give it to your potential surgeon, let them decide. All letters require some clause saying, "Feel free to contact me for more information".

I never personally got a copy of my 1st SRS letter but I did see it upside-down in my surgeon's case folder for me. It was tightly written, single-spaced and covered 1-1/3 pages. I was surprised that there was so much there.

Yes, I would think it'd be enough.  The surgeon would probably call your therapist if he wants more details.

I felt my referral letter was actually a little too detailed.  My therapist even wrote about my spouse's feelings about my surgery, and she revealed my birth name, even though Benjamin is my legal name.  Client/therapist confidentiality was invaded at bit, I thought.

Quotesurgery is recommended,

It just has to say there are no reasoners against surgery.
