Is trans sexuality the only reason SRS exists?

And without trans sexuality, cisgendered people would've never even thought of the ability to change sex?





Or would people eventually have come up with something like SRS if trans sexuality didn't exist?|||No.





Hard as it may be for you to believe, almost all of the surgical procedures which fall under the collective heading of 'SRS' were not originally developed solely for trans people.


Vaginoplasty, phalloplasty, breast augmentation/reduction et.c. are also used to reconstruct the bodies of cis people following trauma, disease, physical intersex conditions or congenital deformity. Anyone who needs any of these surgeries can have them.|||the things that go through your mind phuck phace,,, good grief...





i guess they would have still come up with the surgery to use in the witness protection program... hahahahahha!!|||i can think of no other reason.





edit: hmmmm....pardon me, genius'. i thought the question was about "sex reassignment surgery." changing one's sex from one to another.





so....for all the thoughtful thumbs down...i still can think of no other reasonable answer to THIS QUESTION.





edit: just as some people are far more concerned with sounding like a girl than actually being a girl, some people are far more interested in sounding smart than actually knowing what they are talking about. what is "essential" to srs, %26lt;sex reassignment surgery%26gt; from m.t.f is a penis.





some of the procedures within the operation are very similar but not the same.....and by no conceivable means are they "essentially" or any other "ally" the same.





that is the same mindless information certain people around here spread all the time. but if you spoke with an actual surgeon, someone who does the operations, not just talk about them, and suggested that any of the operations these people are talking about are "essentially" the same as srs she would laugh you out of her office.....too ignorant to even discuss it with.





yes....if not for transsexualism, s.r.s would be a moot procedure.|||If transsexualim didn't exist I doubt SRS would exist. There would be no point to come up with such techniques much less spend the time and energy developing and improving on them.





Edit:


I can't believe I forgot to consider some intersex conditions, trauma, etc. With Diane's answer in mind I'd have to change my answer to this one.|||Diane is correct. There is another category of people who need that kind of surgery: Women born with MRKH Syndrome. They are born without a vagina and sometimes without a uterus. There are other parts of the syndrome as well, but those are the relevant parts for this question.

"The Missing Vagina Monologue" is an interesting read. There is also a video of that available on the net somewhere.





Essentially the surgery for these women, if they decide to get it, is the same as SRS.
