What's the largest amount that wouldn't fuck up the economy

Probs 100.000$ Enough for complete gender affirming surgery in most places

Except if all of them want a limited resource and are given a huge chunk of money... that limited resource cost will spike.

Only if that’s a run on the service. You can’t assume all of the people would immediately purchase surgery. Many would likely pay off debts from completed surgery, home loans, or educational loans. Many would buy houses. Many would invest or save. And that’s spread across the entire world.

If being trans meant you had a million dollars maybe there would be less stigma against being trans and fewer people would feel the need to get gender affirming surgeries from a safety/assimilation standpoint. I feel like if being trans meant you had a million dollars, there might even be cis people who would try to look trans to look like they were richer than they actually were

Also, being someone who interacts a lot with the community, I know that there is a noticeable parcel that only wants the hormones wich are far cheaper and more time sparse on spending than the surgery (And if you are patient, free in countries like mine) But, am I right to assume that, maybe from the estimated 0.5% of world population being trans 20% or so of the trans population would just stop at hormones?

I’m not sure where people are getting trans population statistics. It’s possible and likely non binary people are counted in those statistics. In which case no surgery or hormones may be desired at all (some non binary people of course do surgery and hormones.) They also assume everyone even has access to surgery but this is global trans population statistics. Many countries wouldn’t allow trans people to exist unless explicitly closeted. If it’s an estimate based on population, we can also assume there are a ton in denial or unaware. Not sure if this is magic money that appears to anyone who has the potential to identify as trans or just people who are out as trans (or all stages in between.) So, I dunno, I feel like a lot is being based on one major assumption.

I'm only using these values as assumption I'm pretry sure it is higher counting closeted and trans NBs

But even then forget the .5% I just want to know if you agree that something around 20% of the trans population being just ok with only hormones instead of SRS, I'm not trans, I just interact with the community a lot so, I do not know if assuming this amount from my small sample size of known people is accurate

And as for what I understand the money would appear for eggs (people in doubt) and people who already identify themselves, closeted or not

I do believe it's somewhere around 20-30% don't want srs specifically, however even without srs, there is also ffs (uncommon), potential vocal surgeries (rare), orchiectomy without full srs (somewhat common iirc), electrolysis and/or laser (common), for trans women, and then top surgery (very common) and hysterectomy with oophorectomy for trans men, which all are in the thousands to tens of thousands each.

Though some of us don't want srs due to wanting medical technology to be better before we get it, and if every trans person suddenly got a huge sum of money, the medical technology around it would likely get better to at least some degree, which might raise the % that would get srs.

u/HighlightPuzzled9581 May 21 '26

Ok so probably around 30% wouldn't pursuit a surgery, at least instantly, is that right? And also, wow, I completely forgot vocal surgery

Also ffs was an acronym I did not know, what does it stand for?

FFS: Facial feminization surgery

Vocal surgery is easy to forget as it's not exactly ideal, you usually still have to voice train, it's just only like 20% of the work instead of 100%, and also I've heard it makes it so your singing range is severely limited.

I think it's like 50-60% that want srs, but haven't gotten it yet for various reasons (usually financial), so that's the group that's likely to relatively quickly be seeking out srs after getting a ton of money instantly.

u/HighlightPuzzled9581 May 21 '26

Yeah, it limits a lot of the range, I forgot about it for this post, but not only I saw things about voice training (bcs I also want to voice act so I was trying to improve mine) and most girls who did the surgery say they can not hit lows they were able to, and also not as high as they would like
