The motivation for undergoing these surgeries varies among individuals, with some seeking to feel more comfortable in their bodies, while others may prioritize societal acceptance. The language used to discuss these topics can impact perceptions and understanding, and it's crucial to approach the subject with sensitivity and accuracy.
