Lucky he changed his mind while he still had his parts. But I suspect that it will be a long time, if ever, before all those female hormones wear off.

Treating a mental disorder with genital mutilation has never made sense to me...

Ditto!

A lot of these people are just unhappy and think that if they were just "someone else" all the unhappiness would go away. But as a wise philosopher (Buckaroo Banzai) once said, "No matter where you go, there you are."

Change your clothes, location, hair, face or body; doesn't matter. You have to change your heart, your attitude, your goals and your outlook if you want to actually change.

But that is much more work then just having the doc do a "snip and tuck".

Gee!
To think the mothers in the 40’s/50’s thought they had a problem with....

Either go outside and play or stay inside and sit down”.

We have come a ‘long way’ baby.

This may be elementary to some in the 21st Century but: “how do you grow one, when you’ve chopped it off??”

Inquiring minds want to know?

Thank you. I am against this type of surgery; and, the reason is that it is just treating the superficial aspects of the persons mental disorder. I feel sorry for people who are going through this type of thing; but, allowing 17 year olds to decide that they want such a serious and consequential change is nuts. These people need help; but, I have come to believe that so do the people who support this stuff.

One day it dawned on me, after hearing somebody on t.v. talk about how they never felt like a "boy" and they always felt like a girl. It sounded a lot like a compulsive disorder where you just can't get a thought to stop repeating in your mind. And, then I thought that, that would be like the people who have the feeling that they constantly must wash their hands. Well, we don't chop off their hands and think that we have solved their problem.

But, with these poor folks, chopping off their sexual organs and then pumping them with hormonal drugs seems to be the only method they believe will help. There has to be something less drastic.

Welcome to our world, bro

LOL, good one. I can tell you that I had a lot of problems with depression for many, many years. I developed uterine cancer and had to have a hysterectomy. Voila! Depression gone. Hormones can really mess you up. Although, I wasn't happy about having all of my "lady parts" taken out; I must say that my life has been improved greatly for having done so.

Actually, there is a proper name for what people go through in these “sex change” operations: cosmetic surgery. Be it face lift, breast implant, “sex change”, or whatever, they are simply cosmetic surgeries.

Its sad, really, that the psych folk provide one branch of medicine guaranteed income by denying another group the counseling they desperately need.

I question whether having someone who is patently a psychological omnishambles in the armed forces is such a great idea.

But you know, it would be evil and bigotry for anybody to try to offer counseling for this poor confused kid. /sarc

I’d downed a bottle of Jack Daniel's

I wouldn't think Jack would be available in Britain.

No, Bradley, you don’t want to be a woman. I think your problem, and don’t take this unkindly, because it’s not, but your problem is that you want to be somebody else, somebody less messed up.

Was a boy, became a girl, wants to become a boy again.
Wrong on all counts. Chopping and grafting don’t change a sex.

He hasn't had the surgery yet. So basically, he's a guy playing dress up. And an ugly one, at that.
