Human rights and transgender surgery

Ann Chir Plast Esthet. 2023 Aug 31:S0294-1260(23)00086-9. doi: 10.1016/j.anplas.2023.07.012. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRené Sève recalls that Contemporary Law in the Western World is based on autonomy of equal subjects, mutually recognizing the right to each carry out their own life project. The LGBTQIA+ person therefore exercises their ability to be their own species, according to Kirkegaard's word. It remains that "life project" also implies a constraint of stability and rationality. The author then shows, using Canadian and French statistical data, the difficulties of achieving this ideal for minors and, for adults, the other medical, paramedical and social conditions required. The rights of LGBT people cannot be considered independently of the physical and financial limits of the health system and therefore of the public debate on its priorities.PMID:37659876 | DOI:10.1016/j.anplas.2023.07.012
