" (some countries still require sterilisation before a complete sex change)"

Ok. I'm confused. While requiring anyone to be sterilized is kind of horrible, doesn't the operation itself render the sex organs incapable of reproduction?

Not necessarily. You can store some of your sperm in a clinic, or ask to retain the use of your uterus (though I'm far from being aware of all the reproductive options available in this situation), which is in some cases, fully functional (in Arizona, a judge delayed a divorce procedure because the husband, a trans man, had several children post-op, and the judge believed the marriage wasn't valid for that reason).

Storing your sperm doesn't mean you're not sterile though. Don't some cis men do it before getting vasectomies, just in case they change their mind?

I have absolutely no idea on the matter and I don't want to make mistakes. As I said, I'm not familiar enough on the reproductive choices available to trans people to answer. But maybe someone on FS can help? Or you could look for specific websites detailing the process, if no one can answer.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

...Well, that's post AN op, certainly. But I'm pretty sure at that point you're a trans-hermaphrodite.

For cis men becoming trans women, yes. But it also means that trans women who can't afford surgery, are too young for surgery or who for medical reasons can't have surgery are therefore men in Roseanne's eyes.

Cis women becoming trans men often don't have hysterectomies or genital reconstruction. A hysterectomy is a serious surgery (and the hormones take care of menstrual/risk of pregnancy issues anyway) and surgical penile reconstruction is not very good at the moment. Therefore, all these trans men are women in Roseanne's eyes. But it also means that in many countries they can't then be legally men.

Sorry, I know you mean well, but I'm just kind of wincing at your wording here. Cis doesn't mean 'pre-op trans.' It means 'identifies as the gender they were assigned at birth.' A cis person can't 'become' trans any more than a straight person can be 'turned' gay. Transitioning is the term used generally I believe.

From what I know you're quite right about the surgeries for trans men, though.
