Meet a Trans Patient

Created by the TPU
Last Updated: May 22, 2024

Meet a trans patient who had the surgery you want!

The TPU connects patient interested in a procedure to patients who have gotten that procedure done at GRS and beyond. We currently have patients who can speak about their experiences with mastectomy, vaginoplasty (including with different revisions and compilations), breast augmentation, trachea shave, hysterectomy, orchiectomy, scrotectomy, phalloplasty, and gender nullification surgery. But contact us about any procedure and we will do our best to find you someone.

Our work is based on your experiences.

Every resource we create, every change we fight for, is based on what we hear from Montreal's trans and non-binary patients. Your experience as a patient is at the heart of what we do. Here's how you can share yours with us.
