Excerpt: "Prayer After Surgery" (תפלה לאחר הניתוח) by the Em haBanim is the fifth of seven prayers offered in their סדר תפילות לניתוח שינוי מין (The Em haBanim's Prayers for Vaginoplasty). . . .
Gender transition is a religious experience. These are the psalms and prayers I, the Em haBanim, said at every phase of the long process of preparing for and undergoing vaginoplasty. I offer this set of prayers to the community, so that we can live in deeper awareness of the fact that Hashem our God wants our transitions.

כשהיא תתעורר מן הניתוח, תטול ידיה ותאמר זה מיד.
|
When you awaken from surgery, wash your hands and say this immediately:
|
|
הֲרֵנִי מְקַבֶּלֶת עָלַי
אֶת מִצְוַת עֲשֵׂה לִהְיוֹת תְּמִימָה עִם ה׳ אֱלֹקַי. |
Behold I accept upon myself
the positive commandment to be whole with Hashem my G-d. |
|
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה
ה׳ אֱלֹקֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם הַטּוֹב וְהַמֵּטִיב. |
Blessed are You,
Hashem, our G-d, Ruler of the Universe, the Good One Who does good. |
|
וכשיחזור לה די כח, תקרא מזמור שיר חנוכת הבית לדוד ותתפלל את ההלל בלי ברכה.
|
And when you have enough energy, read Psalms 30 and pray all of Hallel without a blessing.
