The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) released the 2019 plastic surgery data. Females now represent 70% of all "gender confirmation" procedures.

After a huge spike in 2017, the rate of growth in surgeries among females has come down, but still a steady trend upward./1
Overall, plastic surgeries are -5% down for the year.
Not the case with "gender confirmation", which is experiencing a +15% boom.

(The ASPS has the wrong label for the total--disregard the title about "weight loss", they meant SRS) /2

Other surgeons besides plastic (gyn, urologists, general surgeons, etc) also perform SRS so the actual total is much higher.
Cutting off angsty young women's body parts is big business. Factoring in hormones, it's billions/3
