The assessor may ask questions…

… about your gender:

• What pronouns do you use?
• How would you describe your gender?
• When did you start living outwardly as yourself?
• How long have you been thinking about gender-affirming treatment?

…about your physical and mental health:

• Have you ever been diagnosed with a physical health condition?
• Have you ever been diagnosed with a mental health condition?
• What is your height and weight?
• What medications are you on?
• Have you had any surgeries before? Did you receive anesthesia? Did you have any problems with it?

…about your support people:

• Who are your main support people? Will they be able to help you after surgery?
• Do you have a GP or NP, and are they supportive?
• Is there anything you think would be important for me to know to help with your care planning?

Here is a downloadable list of common question that you may be asked, during a readiness assessment for gender-affirming surgeries.
