“We’re talking about the transplanting of one human’s limbs to another, which is a miracle of modern medicine. And all this writer can focus on is the change in skin pigmentation.

I want to know what level of function her new hands have and if there is any chance her body can eventually reject them.”

What kind of hell did that woman go through to get that much functionality back. It’s really just amazing.

I wonder how much motor control she’s gained in the hands? I know the regrowing of nerves has always been a bit of a barrier.

Actually, you are right but don’t understand what causes transgenderism.

True trans individuals are .001% of the population. The rest are posers, socially conditioned, or confused. The only reason transgenderism went from a tiny portion of the population to the latest fad is because a bunch of wack jobs thought it would be cool to socially condition kids (going so far as to run the world leading expert, Dr. Zucker, out of his own clinic on bogus charges) and the medical industry got to play God.

Meanwhile, the tiny minority who genuinely suffer from this were lumped in with perverts, freaks, drag queens, and pretenders.

Almost all trand people suffer a genetic defect of the endocrine system, which results in an overproduction of estrogen, testosterone, or free floating adrenal androgens (the precursor to sex hormones).

When my child hit puberty, she didn’t need puberty blockers, testosterone treatments or surgery to transition. It was happening naturally. Her system went into overdrive and she began to develop like a boy: masculine body hair, facial hair, musculature, voice deepened, jaw flattened, back went v-shape. Took several teams of Endocrinologists to determine why. Meanwhile, we spent thousands trying to stop my beautiful baby girl from morphing into an odd looking boy.

Doesn’t matter how much estrogen you pump into her; her neural pathways are already set to recognize free floating adrenal androgens as testosterone.

If there is no underlying medical condition, it’s psychological. Butchering kids won’t fix that. Moreover, today’s approach to dealing with transgenderism is the antithesis to proven protocol from a decade ago, where the focus was on curing, not transitioning, and surgery was never considered until someone was an adult.

“True trans individuals are .001% of the population.”

It is very small. I thought that they were all nuts until I read about Wendy (formerly Walter) Carlos. This is someone who had some real hormone issues.

In all seriousness, it really is.
