SourceBecause sex change is physically impossible, contortions to language are necessary in order to sell the procedures. Preferred terms for attempting the change have evolved over the years. “Sex change” became “sex reassignment,” then “gender reassignment,” followed by “gender affirmation.”
The attempts to physically change gender and sex through “affirmative” surgery are in vain.
We can only change the image we project in public. The name for that public portrayal is “persona,” which Merriam-Webster defines as “a social facade or front that … reflects the role in life the individual is playing.”
We need to stop being “word puppets” parroting the inaccurate, harmful terms and tell people the truth: Gender and sex change is a fool’s errand.
