You can make a man "look" like a woman with surgeries, hormones and makeup. But, all you're doing is changing the outside appearances. They are still a man, down to every last cell in their body. You can't alter science with political correctness (except of course with Climate Change science).
But cement, this current “wisdom” of encouraging the person to try living as the other gender is only one of two choices that these people are given. Either they suffer silently as Bruce did for 60 years, or they try the other gender.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND. Right now this kind of disorder has no other treatment. I can’t blame him for trying this after 65 years of trying to be a man.
Today in the news we find out that radiation knives for brain tumors cause HARM. Permanent harm. I was sort of offered this treatment myself not long ago, though my doc was not in favor. I’m glad. TREATMENTS are only as good as that level of science. Things always change. I hope one day there will be some thing one can do to prevent or help this dysmorphia between brain and genitals.
