Hunter Schafer Reveals She Had Bottom Surgery Last Year
Hunter Schafer underwent a major gender-affirming procedure not too long ago … revealing she had bottom surgery last year.
She told Elle … “I just had bottom surgery in December, which was amazing, and I love it so much.”
If you’re unfamiliar, bottom surgery is an operation to change a person’s genitals — often through removal and/or reconstruction — to better align with their gender identity.
The actress told the mag she “wanted to try to make that previous body work” because she thought the “gender-expansive” part of herself was “really cool and badass.”
But ultimately, she decided that — while every trans person’s wants and needs are different — medically transitioning was the right move for her.
Hunter described a bit of the recovery period, noting she was forced to lie down a lot because her step count was severely limited.
She said … “I think my limit was 150 steps per day, which is nothing.”
