Explanation / Answer

Se-x reassignment surgeries or gender reassignment surgeries are done so that a transgender person's present se-xual characteristics are modified so that physical and functional characteristics are modified with the gender that is socially identified.

Ans : D) All of the above

It is that, till today parents are not able to consider that a child does not fit in any of the two boxes of the gender definition and that they are not able to be comfortable with the child. Also, with the society still not able to completely accept transgender people, the child is bullied at many instances or even not given equal opportunities in some cases. Earlier it was considered that performing a surgery would make their bodies normal as the doctors never told the changes that would occur in the bodies of these individuals in adulthood. Hence, all of these perspectives led to such surgeries for babies and small children.
