The Daily Gazette/Science Times  February 15, 2016

"After a skiing accident in January left him with a smashed knee, Beck Bailey, a transgender man in Greenfield, Mass., spent 15 days in a Vermont hospital undergoing a handful of surgeries. As part of his normal routine, Bailey gives himself regular shots of testosterone. But the endocrinologist on duty in Vermont told him that patients should not take testosterone post surgery."

Very good article. Why a new acronym, though, "gender affirmation surgery"? " Ma'am, have you had GAS?"

so which is less embarrassing , GCS  or GAS

There are a lot of barriers healthcare here in the states, especially with the veterans healthcare system and  with transgenders

This is a concern with a number of my friends. They are also senior citizens.
