Honestly not sure if it made a difference. What did for the kid was the requirement to use bits of their digestive tract to mock up a vagina (itself a requirement caused by the early use of puberty blockers); the digestive tract is where most of the really unpleasant interactions between your body and the outside world take place (there's a reason why digestive cancers are such bastards to treat; your digestive system is one of the tougher bits of your body, so anything that can affect it badly enough to kill the cancer tends to be extremely hard on the rest of you)

If you're lucky, they just cut half of your stomach and half of your intestines out of you, no radiation or chemo needed. Ask my mom how I know.
