==Myth==
There seems to be an assumption that anyone who transitions, especially those who identify as female, will of course receive gender-affirming surgery (SRS, GRS, etc.)

Example: [https://twitter.com/Nevermore522055/status/1298266909415153668 This tweet] assumes that a trans girl, who was permitted to transition by a Texas court, wants SRS and will receive it as a result of that decision.
==Reality==
* Many trans people do not want surgery (a fact which is often held against them -- especially trans women, who are often inaccurately described as "men" because they still have penises).
* Medical practice in most countries bars children from receiving SRS (see '''Myth''': {{l/myth|Children can get SRS}}).
