She will always be a woman. She grew up as a girl and then blossomed into a woman.
The important thing is she needs to be healthy, and if the surgery will keep her healthy that is all that matters.
Research Hormone Replacement Therapy ( HRT) 25 to 30 years ago, HRT was Demonized because Science believed it may cause breast and other cancers.
It is believed now to have been another total fabrication, and HRT was relatively safe and mostly benificial to the woman, helping her cope with aging and general health much better than a woman who had a hysterectomy and was not using HRT.
Again,please research this very important subject, and I wish your SIL all the best.
The usual rider, I'm not a doctor,please carry out your own research.
Thank you for a reasoned response :-). I had a hyster at age 39 because of pelvic floor issues … so glad I gave birth to three beautiful children and glad that thing is gone now 😂😅👍
It happens! I said I gather your SIL is post menaparsal,then after I posted the comment I saw that your had already told another anon she was! Oops,I missed that!
We all miss things sometimes, especially with the crazy situation we find ourselves in!
When you see your SIL,have a good time if you can. Whether she'll be recovering from the operation and you'll be busy doing stuff,you'll just have to see how it goes!
And I am still on HRT pellet implants. Every three months. I am on top of my blood levels, but have to say, I feel great at 60! And I’m not overweight. I swim, bike and run… Three sprints planned for next summer!
OMG! It is the best! I am so active, strong and capable. I also recommend it for men. Even my very conservative husband is up for trying it.
I could be considered a hypocrite, but I think as adults (in our late 50’s early 60’s) we can make a reasoned decision to go on with the hormones we were naturally given.
We obviously are male and female. We are not trying to change our genders. But if that little push into our “elderly years” has a beneficial push, why not?

I am happy to hear you are doing well. You have the experience to talk to your SIL from that situation.
I gather she is post menopausal. She probably won't need to use HRT,but she could talk to a Doctor if she needs to.
Wishing you both all the best.take care and keep safe,fren.
Oh I think I may have been hyperbolic with that other response.
U/dirty30, you were perceptive, and I appreciate that. We should all read the comments before responding, eh?

I just read your comment about HRT. That sounds excellent! If your Doctor is happy to keep you on it, that is probably the best thing you could do.
Do you feel like a young 60 y/o ? Often that is the case. HRT can be very beneficial for women and help maintain quality of life.

I still have lots of gardening to do ;-)
