Apologies if anyone has linked to this story before but I found this tragic. A girl born to a mother who only wanted sons. Transitioned but regarded her new body as monstrous.

“She was the girl that nobody wanted. She got that in her head,” Ms. Mesot said. “Maybe she thought, ‘When I’m going to be a man, my mother’s going to love me because she loves my brothers.’ I think that’s the reason why he started all the operations.”

I agree OP. It's a sad story, an abused teenage girl who doesn't get the real help she needs, then surgery that goes wrong. A cautionary tale of what happens when transitioning is seen as the solution to a person's ills.

Such a sad story. It seems they were failed too many times :(

I read about this before. It's really sad Sad

Think TerfsUp must have misread?

Sorry?

I think this person was mentally ill and thought transitioning to be a man would solve all her problems. As I think is the worry with a lot of teenage girls now surely?

However it did not. All her problems were still there. But her body was now mutilated as well.

How is this goady?

I nominate this thread for Goady Title of the Year!

Really, OP. Couldn't you have tried a little harder? Like, "Mumsnet Kills Transman"?
