Gender Nullification
Conveniently located to serve Washington DC, Arlington, Bethesda
Gender nullification surgery is a procedure where the external genitalia is removed, the urethra shortened and a smooth appearance is created in the pubic region. We also offer customization of the surgery for patients whose goals for final appearance may be unique. The surgery can be covered by insurance with letters of support.
Gender nullification is a part of the spectrum of gender affirmation procedures. It offers individuals the opportunity to align their physical form with their gender identity in a non-binary or agender way. This procedure is distinct from traditional gender reassignment surgeries, focusing instead on creating a body that represents a neutral or null gender appearance.

Am I a Good Candidate for Gender Nullification?
Ideal candidates for gender nullification are those who identify beyond the binary gender constructs and seek to physically manifest their identity. Individuals should have a stable understanding of their gender identity and realistic expectations about the outcomes of the surgery. A psychological evaluation is typically required to ensure readiness and support throughout the process.
Are There Insurance Requirements for Gender Nullification?
Insurance coverage for gender nullification varies widely. Some insurers may cover it under gender affirmation procedures, while others may not recognize it due to its non-binary nature. Prospective patients should consult their insurance providers for detailed information on coverage and any necessary pre-authorization requirements.
How to Prepare for Gender Nullification
Preparation involves psychological counseling, thorough medical evaluations, and discussions about the desired outcomes with your surgeon. Patients may need to undergo hormone therapy and live in their identified gender role for a period, as recommended by their healthcare providers.
How Is a Gender Nullification Procedure Performed
The specifics of gender nullification surgery depend on the individual’s goals. The procedure may involve the modification or removal of gendered physical attributes to achieve a more neutral appearance. Techniques and approaches vary, with a focus on minimizing scarring and preserving nerve sensation.
