Hello, in the last months I habe taken an interest in the journey trans people go trough to be officially recognized as the gender they are and the surgical operations many go through to adapt their body to their Gender, how it differs in different states, and what can be done to improve this. Unfortunately (as you have probably read in the last sentence) I have no idea about anything regarding this topic. Therefore, I am asking if you know any worthwhile books, websites or any other resources where I can inform myself about these topics, preferably they should be in English or German, but I can just as well use a translator if it is any other language. Thank you for your answers in advance!
Hello,
This website has a ton of literature on every subject related to trans people. Take some of the stuff with a grain of salt, since there is some transphobic literature on there for educational purposes. You should be able to find what you’re looking for on here, though.
You could try the gender dysphoria bible. These pages will probably be of interest to you if you want to know about the effects of HRT. There’s also a lot of information about gender dysphoria there as well if you want to know about that too.
I really like the work that Abigail Thorn does on Philosophy Tube. She has also been doing her channel long enough that you have her thoughts on transphobia before she transitioned, her coming out video, and one that covers her experiences with transitioning.

Ah shit. I didn’t recognize her as the same person when I saw the Pre video.
Hope this doesn’t give me unrealistic transition standards :D
