Gotcha. I guess I just assumed that the term "SRS" included mastectomies, because it's impossible to alter one's sex, anyway, just sexual organs to some degree.

Yeah "sexual reassignment surgery" is focused on the sexual organs, somehow making them look more similar to the opposite is "reassignment" since it's all about cosmetics for these people. Inaccurate term, maybe I'll just call it "genital surgery" from now on.
