I feel that it can have a major impact in the quality of your day-to-day life, far more so than other aspects of transition. It’s not enough by itself to make you pass, but for some, it’s a necessity.” 2018 American Society of Plastic Surgeons (“Facial feminization for cisgender women with masculine-looking faces”): “Facial feminization is a defined set of plastic and craniofacial surgical procedures that work to reshape masculine facial features to make them appear more feminine. Most typically, these procedures are included in gender confirmation surgery for transgender individuals.

It was a real grind to deal with the heavy dull pain from day to day.” 2003 American Journal of Public Health (“One Size Does Not Fit All in the Transgender Community”): “Some male-to-female transsexuals who go through SRS experience problems because, after the operation, they still possess masculine facial features despite the obvious feminization of the rest of the body. Although facial feminization surgery can address this particular problem, such procedures may cost upwards of an additional $30 000.” 2004 Anna’s Place (“FFS Diary”): “At least I won't have to undertake this journey as a patient again - barring potential complications, once my FFS is done I shouldn’t require any further surgery. Looking back, everything now seems to have happened so quickly...a year ago I certainly never dreamt that by now I'd be not only post-op but about to undergo facial feminisation surgery. Incredible.” 2006 San Francisco Chronicle (“Facing Facts”): “Lannie Rose, a San Jose author and transgender person, recommends facial feminization surgery only ‘if you have particularly masculine features and are having a difficult time passing in most circumstances.’” 2006 Open Letter to the Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association: ““I am writing in support of including more specific and supportive language about Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS) in future revisions of HBIGDA Standards of Care… Many women in my community observe the anniversary of their vaginoplasty as the apex of their transition, but I feel my own turning point occurred a decade ago when I had facial feminization surgery.” 2006 Journal of Social Philosophy (“Changing Race, Changing Sex: The Ethics of Self-Transformation”): “Sex chromosome patterns cannot be altered, but with certain measures, (including vaginoplasty, phalloplasty, testicular implants, mastectomy or breast implants, facial feminization surgery, hormones, or electrolysis) all male and masculine persons can be made (more) female and feminine, and vice versa.” 2008 Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics of North America (“Challenges in Care of the Transgender Patient Seeking Facial Feminization Surgery”): “FFS is done most commonly for transgendered women, that is, women who were born as men but diagnosed with gender identity disorder (GID) and decided to transition in their public lives from living as men to living as women. Less commonly, but with regularity, these procedures are sought by natal women who have masculine facial characteristics.” 2010 Quality of Life Research (“Quality of Life of Individuals with and without facial feminization surgery or gender reassignment surgery”): “Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is a set of surgical procedures that alter the typically male facial features to provide a more feminine appearance. FFS procedures can include common facial plastic procedures like brow lift, rhinoplasty, cheek implantation, and lip augmentation. However, other procedures, including scalp advancement, frontal cranioplasty, and reduction mandibuloplasty, are more unique to FFS… The overall goal of FFS is to better align the facial features of gender with the inward identification of gender.” 2012 International Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (“Facial feminization surgery: current state of the art”): “Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is a group of surgical procedures; the objectives of which are to change the features of a male face to that of a female face… FFS is carried out almost exclusively on transsexual women (males who are transitioning into females) and who have gender dysphoria. Some non-transsexual women may undergo some feminizing surgical procedures if they feel that they have male facial characteristics.” 2016 Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (“Facial Feminization: Systematic Review of the Literature”): “Facial feminization surgery encompasses a broad range of craniomaxillofacial surgical procedures designed to change masculine facial features into feminine features. The surgical principles of facial feminization surgery can be applied to male-to-female transsexuals and anyone desiring feminization of the face.” A series of various surgical procedures applied systematically in order to feminize the features of the face, as applied to any patient. 2008 Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics of North America (“Challenges in Care of the Transgender Patient Seeking Facial Feminization Surgery”): “Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is the general term for a group of specific procedures that are used in an attempt to alter the perceived gender of an individual’s face. These procedures include many commonly offered by facial plastic surgeons, such as rhytidectomy, brow lift, cheek implantation, and lip augmentation. Several procedures done less commonly, however, by most facial plastic surgeons also are involved, including scalp advancement, frontal cranioplasty, and reduction mandibuloplasty.” 2016 Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (“Facial Feminization: Systematic Review of the Literature”): “Facial feminization surgery encompasses a broad range of craniomaxillofacial surgical procedures designed to change masculine facial features into feminine features.

FFS) Alternate forms: facial feminising surgery (pl. facial feminising surgeries) A series of various surgical procedures applied systematically in order to feminize the features of the face, as applied to trans women. 1999 “Feminization of the Transsexual”: “Looking feminine is, of course, extremely important to you. First impressions are often based just upon your face. That which is first seen in an initial contact is frequently what defines you. It establishes not only who you are, but often what sex you are as well. As a transsexual, perhaps nothing is more important to you than appearing sexually the same as you feel emotionally. Facial feminizing surgery can help bring these two together.” facial gender confirmation surgery n. (pl. facial gender confirmation surgeries, abbr. FGCS or facial GCS) facial masculinization n. (pl. facial masculinizations) Alternate forms: facial masculinisation (pl. facial masculinisations) A series of various surgical procedures applied systematically in order to masculinize the features of the face, as applied to trans men. 2018 Clinics in Plastic Surgery (“Facial Gender Confirmation Surgery: Facial Feminization Surgery and Facial Masculinization Surgery”): “Facial masculinization has recently been applied to transgender men for masculinization of the face and the thyroid cartilage.” 2011 Annals of Plastic Surgery (“Dr. Paul Tessier and Facial Skeletal Masculinization”): ““I have completed 6 facial masculinizations as described previously, that is, forehead, chin, and mandibular angle masculinization…” facial masculinization surgery n.

In Wallisian (‘Uvean), spoken on Wallis and Futana, a term which refers to assigned male at birth (AMAB) individuals who have a feminine or female gender identity, but are typically discreet concerning feminine gender expression due to sociopolitical pressures.

Such individuals are often compared to transgender women. Usually spelled without the “ā”. In Wallisian (‘Uvean), spoken on Wallis and Futana, a term referring to rules for women.

(pl. hijras) Alternate forms: hegira, hijada, hijara, hijda, hijira Romanization of Hindustani term, represented in Hindi as हिजड़ा (hijṛā) and in Urdu as ہِیجڑا (hījṛā). Possibly derived, via Marathi and Oriya, from the Kannada ಹೆಣ್ಣಿಗ (heṇṇiga, “impotent man, coward”), ultimately from the Tamil பெண்டன் (peṇṭan, “hermaphrodite, eunuch”), the masculine form of பெண் (peṇṭu, “woman”). It has also been suggested that हिजड़ा (hijṛā) is derived from Ashokan Prakrit *𑀳𑀺𑀚𑁆𑀚 (*hijja), as हीज (hīj) means “defective” or “cowardly”. Some have suggested an alternative etymology from ه ج ر‎ (h-j-r), from which the Arabic doublet هِجْرَة (hegira, hijra) derives, related to fleeing or exodus, however this is unlikely given the penetration of the term into Eastern Indo-Aryan and Insular Sinhala. Cognates include Punjabi ਹਿਜੜਾ (hijṛā) / ہجڑا‎ (hijṛā), Gujarati હીજડો (hījḍo), Marathi हिजडा (hij̈ḍā), Bengali হিজড়া (hijṛa), Oriya ହିଜଡ଼ (hijôṛô), Sinhalese හිජ්රා (hījiṛo). ہِیجڑا (hījṛā) is usually considered offensive to such individuals in Pakistan, with the term خواجه سرا (khawaja sara) oftentimes preferred instead. Additionally, it is considered inappropriate, inaccurate, and othering to translate hijra as transgender, transsexual, intersex, or eunuch or to italicize hijra. (occasionally derogatory) A gender, sexual, and social role, identity, and class specific to the Indian subcontinent (contemporary India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, etc.), involving individuals usually assigned male at birth (AMAB) who live on the margins of society and are typically of lower socioeconomic status. Hijra tend to live in closed communities with other hijra and speak an argot known as Hijra Farsi. Additionally, hijra often fulfill specific spiritual and religious roles, and practice many of their own specific rituals. Hijra typically have a gender expression considered feminine or androgynous, and hijra may be transgender, intersex, gay, bisexual, or have other culturally-specific identity designations. 1653* Itinerario delas Missiones del India oriental que hizo el P. Maestro Fra Sebastian Manrique Religioso Eremira de S. Agustin: “Y es esto entanto estremo en esta fentinas de vicios, que el pecado nefando es tan publico, que fe permite que los Pathicos [From the Latin pathicus, meaning an individual who submits to sexual intercourse, especially anal intercourse, or to other socially unacceptable lust; similar to the English term ‘catamite’.] vestidos, y adornados como mugeres [archaic spelling of ‘mujeres’] anden por las calles provocando a los perdidos como ellos. Estos sirue tambien en lus barbaricas fiestas, y esponsalisios de falestices; y porellono tienen tan pequeño interesse, que no les sobre para teneren muy cumplidamente todos los atavios, y diges mugeriles [archaic spelling of ‘muheriles’] para semejantes ocasiones necessarios.” [heavily implied, although the term itself does not appear; roughly translated in 2010 as “So great indeed is the depravity in this sink of iniquity, that the unmentionable vice is so common that catamites dressed and adorned like women parade the streets, soliciting others as abandoned as themselves. These men also take part in their barbarian festivals and weddings, instead of women dancers. Moreover, they receive such good salaries that it enables them to obtain all the feminine finery and trinkets required on such occasions.”] 1831 A Dictionary: Murathee & English, Compiled for the Government of Bombay: “हिजडा sm … A male hermaphrodite, a neuter approaching rather to the male sex. 2 Applied, reprovingly to an obscene or indecent fellow.” 1838 Histories, Antiquities, Topography, and Statistics of Eastern India: “Eleven companies of Hijras or eunuchs, may be placed in the same class, as they are mendicants.” 1839, A Dictionary of the Hindee Language: “हीजडा , सं . पुं . हिजडा ।” 1856 The Indian Annals of Medical Science (“A Few Notes, with Reference to ‘The Eunuchs,’ to Be Found in the Large Households of the State of Rajpootana”): “He says that there are two distinct classes of Eunuchs: Firstly—Those who are naturally born so; and Secondly—Those who have been artificially, either when infants or as adults, rendered so by operation: The former are known generally, in Jeypore, as ‘Khojas:’ the latter are style ‘Hegiras!’ … The second class, the Hegiras, are naturally developed boys or men, who have been at all ages castrated, not at all unfrequently submitting voluntarily to the maiming process.” 1896 The Tribes and Castes of the North-western Provinces and Oudh: “Formerly when a deformed boy was born in a family the Hijras of the neighbourhood used to beset the parents and endeavour to obtain possession of him.” 1956 British Journal of Medical Psychology (“Hinjra and Jiryan: Two Derivatives of Hindu Attitudes to Sexuality”): “One can say this with confidence because of the presence there of a class of professional male prostitute, the hinjra. These hinjras adopt a parody of women’s dress, mimic women’s gestures and turns of speech and from time to time perform lewd imitations of women’s singing and dancing… The hinjra is one of the group of beggar castes to whom alms must be given at certain occasions, such as at a wedding feast or at harvest time.” 1957 ONE (“India’s Hijras”): “How does an Indian become an Hijra? The conversion may begin in his boyhood or after he has passed puberty: effeminancy, his only requisite. Often he is a youthful derelict cast aside by his family. During his training by older Hijras he is given cloth for his sari, jewelry, food and above all, attention and understanding which he never knew.” 1960 American Anthropologist (“The Hijarā (Hermaphrodites) of India and Indian National Character: A Rejoinder”): “Once they have joined the hijarā… they do not retain caste distinctions.” 1986 Anthropology and Homosexual Behavior (“The Hijras of India: Cultural and individual dimensions of an institutionalized third gender role”): “Hijras traditionally earn their living by collecting alms and receiving payment for performances at weddings, births and festivals.” 1993 City of Djinns: “When the Mughal court was disbanded, Muslim hijras were exposed for the first time to the other, Hindu, tradition of eunuchry.” 1994 “Why are Indian eunuchs warned about unsafe sex?”: “A bizarre story made even more bizarre by a mistranslation: the festival in question is not a gathering of eunuchs, strictly speaking, but of hijras, as they are called in India. Hijras are men who live as women, or to put it another way, transsexuals with religion, being devotees of the mother goddess Bahuchara Mata. Many but not all have been castrated--voluntarily for the most part, although there have been reports over the years of hijras who were forcibly emasculated. A few are hermaphrodites--that is, born with both male and female plumbing, typically underdeveloped. Some hijras, or perhaps we should say parahijras, are normally endowed homosexual men who just like the hijra lifestyle.” 1995 With Respect to Sex: Negotiating Hijra Identity in South India: “The subjects of this study are hijras or the ‘third sex’ of India, individuals who occupy a unique, liminal space between male and female, sacred and profane.” 1997 Sunday Telegraph: “Some hijras are castratees, some partway down the surgical road to femalehood, others are simply men dressed in women’s clothes.” 1999 “A glossary of useful terms”: “hijra … 1.

Asia, which admits neither men nor women. Traditionally work as religious specialists, dancing at births.” 2002 GAIN Digest (“India’s impotent are a force to be reckoned with (INDIA)”): “The youthful misfits seek out the hijras and most eventually submit to a crude operation without anaesthetic during which their genitals are severed with one cut. A eunuch will act as their guru, introducing them to the insular hijra community and assisting them during the castration ritual.” 2009 Journal of Health, Population and Nutrition (“Living on the Extreme Margin: Social Exclusion of the Transgender Population (Hijra) in Bangladesh”): “Understanding the sociocultural and human rights aspects of discrimination against the hijra community and deprivation can help reduce STI/HIV transmission and safeguard this marginalized community.” 2017 Culture Trip (“A Brief History of Hijra, India’s Third Gender”): “With a recorded history of over 4,000 years and being mentioned in ancient texts, the Hijra community is a testament to the sexual diversity that is integral yet often forgotten in Indian culture.” Hijra Farsi n.

To be accepted into the community, a hijra guru initiates a person through adoption into the non-biological hijra kinship network. This network is affiliated to a symbolically organised housing system of hijra gharanas that function as an internal system of segregation within the communities.” 2018 The New Leam (“Queer in Identity: The Hijra Community’s Struggle for Acknowledgement”): “Membership of a gharana enables the separation of the ‘real’ Hijra and the ‘fake’ Hijra.
