    Hello,

    Does the UK allow for non-binary sex sugary? [I don't mind paying if NHS won't.] I'm not really sure where UK as a law stands on non-binary.

    Thank-you.

    Generally, to get anything done in either the UK or the US, you have to pose as being binary transgender. Otherwise, you will not be taken seriously because the medical field is not very friendly to non-binary people. So, it really depends on what kind of surgery you are looking for. Ifor it is something that can be done under the impression that you are binary trans, then you may be able to get it. If not, then the answer is most likely no.

    Probably depends on what you're interested in having done. I've known plenty of non binary afab people get top surgery without even having to lie about their identity.

    Was about to say the same thing. It really depends on the procedure
