Usually when I talk about this kind of thing in public it is a quiet one- on- one conversation and I would say "I haven't had reassignment yet" and "I am a girl but I was like a boy". Emphasis on the LIKE.

using SRS or GRS doesn't really bother me. However I prefer GCS - Gender correction surgery. Because, for me, the point of bottom surgery is just to make my body match my gender. making physical changes to my body doesn't change who I am. It helps me portray my gender better as well as makes me feel better and more like myself when I look at myself.

Some people says: "He had a gender change" but other says: "He had a sex change". Some says "He had a sex reassignment surgery" and some says: "He had a sex correction" Which one do you prefer to use?

Another thing some people says may be: "She used to be a man", "She was a man in the past", "She was born a boy, but changed her gender to woman"...
And here is the more trans friendly way to say it in my opinion: "She has always been a girl, but were assigned male at birth", "Just because she has XY-chromosome, she's still a girl", "She presented as a boy in the past, but she has always been a girl".

I also don't believe it is appropriate for someone else to talk about and disclose what a trans person is, was or has done. it's nobodies damn business. People that do this need to keep their big mouths shut!!
