** Because she is getting top-of-the-line extras, such as a uterine transplant; the ordinary gender reassignment surgery would be affordable to her.
** The hormones function as surgery in a pill or injection, even to the point of changing the appearance of Alice's genitalia.

** Alice has BizarreAlienBiology, and can change sexes [[PurelyAestheticGender at will]] [[note]] or at least [[{{Hermaphrodite}} which of them is expressed]], [[TruthInTelevision as with snails]][[/note]], or whenever it's needed (such as when her mate dies).

* '''Parodied''':
** Albert walks into a phone booth, and Alice walks out.

** A terf complains about how it's legal for "kids to cut off their genitals whenever they want", and Alice wonders why didn't she think of that sooner... then [[{{Squick}} pulls out a hacksaw.]] ([[MeatgrinderSurgery It works.]])

* '''Inverted''': Just to get hormones (never mind surgery), Alice must see a gender therapist 3x a week, and live and present as a female for several months or years. There's also a lot of red tape regarding her driver's license, birth certificate, and other legal documentation. And the costs of the hormones, therapy, and surgery are all or mostly on Alice (even if she is dysphoric to the point of attempting suicide without them).

* '''Basic Trope''': Gender reassignment is a very simple and straightforward thing.

* '''Straight''': Albert decides that "he" is really a "she," (and that her name is Alice) and sees a doctor about gender reassignment. An appointment is booked for a week later, and she walks out of the hospital with breasts, new genitals, a driver's license that reads "Alice" instead of "Albert," and a (complimentary) nice dress.
* '''Exaggerated''': Alice doesn't even have to go to the hospital: she is given pills to take, and wakes up the next day in the body she wants. Oh, and with pretty much no effort on her part (even if she wasn't particularly attractive before), she looks like [[AttractiveBentGender a gorgeous supermodel]].
** Alice goes to the hospital on her lunch break, and comes back to work as if she had just gone to a local restaurant for lunch, only with a new body.
* '''Downplayed''': Getting hormones and surgery, plus the legal identity changes, take less time and less red tape.
* '''Justified''': Alice goes to see [[AWizardDidIt a witch or wizard]].
** Alice has BizarreAlienBiology, and can change sexes [[PurelyAestheticGender at will]], or whenever it's needed (such as when her mate dies).
** Alice is a [[Franchise/DoctorWho Time Lady]], who can regenerate into any gender (or no gender at all).
