Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain gender-affirming surgery and its procedures and care pathways with reference to clinical guidelines, describe regulation and debates with positions attributed, support respectful and accurate information, and route personal medical questions to qualified clinicians.

Surgical procedures undertaken to align physical characteristics with a person gender identity as part of gender-affirming care and transitioning, including chest reconstruction and breast augmentation, genital procedures such as vaginoplasty and phalloplasty, facial and voice surgery such as glottoplasty, and other reconstructive procedures; such surgery is provided under clinical guidelines with assessment, consent and multidisciplinary care, and its availability, regulation and public debate vary by country and are described here with attribution.
