Pre-op
Pre: means before
op: short for “operation”
Now put them together–“pre-op” = “before operation”
Post-op
Post: means after
op: still short for operation
Now put them together– “post-op” = “after operation”

What does surgery have to do with sex? It’s about SURGERY, not sex. PRE = BEFORE, POST=AFTER

They should confuse you.
Transitioning involves a social change, hormones, and/or multiple surgeries. And surgery does not necessarily have to do with genitals (ex: they could have to do with the chest) so what surgeries count?
Pre-op refers to a transsexual who has not had “the operation.”
Post-op refers to a transsexual who has had “the operation.”
What is “the operation”? There’s no agreement on that. Somebody who has not had any surgery yet is clearly pre-op; somebody who has had genital reconstruction surgery is clearly post-op. But what about transmen who have had chest reconstruction surgery and/or hysterectomy but nothing on the external genitalia? What about transwomen who have had breast implants and/or removal of the testes but nothing on the penis?
