Pioneer in certain surgical techniques in gender affirmation, international speaker, he has been working in this field for more than 20 years and publishing his research work in scientific journals.

She played Luna in the television series Vis a Vis, giving visibility to the LGBT + reality through fiction.

Gender affirmation techniques and testimonies <\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dr. Ivan Ma\u00f1ero<\/strong> and Dr. Trinidad Labanca<\/strong> were in charge of explaining the most technical part of the different interventions such as vaginoplasty, phalloplasty, facial and body feminization, mastectomy, etc., but they also addressed other issues such as the results that can be expected, what dilations are and how they are performed, what the recovery and postoperative period are like, how to deal with sexual relations after surgery, etc.<\/p>\n

The actress Abril Zamora<\/strong> and other anonymous testimonies explained their experience, their fears, their desires and how life has been for them after the surgery. They gave their testimony in a very honest and close way, in addition to answering the most personal questions of the attendees and their families.<\/p>\n

A closer contact with IM GENDER<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After the day, attendees were invited to a small aperitif to offer them the opportunity to speak directly with the speakers in a more personal way.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The objective of these conferences, which will be repeated throughout the year in different parts of Spain, is to answer many of the questions and doubts that arise in transgender people who decide to opt for surgery, as well as to inform about the different techniques that exist in genital affirmation surgery. But above all, the intention is to offer trans people who have considered undergoing gender affirmation surgery the possibility of meeting professionals face to face who can answer their questions.<\/p>\n

At IM GENDER we are very satisfied with the feedback of the people who attended both in person and in streaming via zoom and who have sent us their very positive comments. And for this reason we have already begun to work on the organization of the next meeting.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
