New Hampshire teen one of youngest to undergo gender reassignment surgery

That’s heartbreaking

I went through that same checklist when I read it, oldcrone.

“It’s OK to be who you are” (but this will require hefty medical intervention).

There’s so much misdescription affecting people of both sexes who transition, I don’t know how any patient can be asked to consent to multiple operations which claim to surgically create for them (with no quote marks or other qualifying words) a penis or vagina. The NHS choices website talks as if surgery can actually create opposite-sex genitals. That is an obvious medical impossibility. Medicine isn’t supposed to mislead.

infertility - use a different womb.
absence of sexual function - not necessary.
the lifelong wound issues - not their problem
increased risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease, the reduced bone density - men frequently leave women who can’t perform their sexual or support human roles.
lack of brain development from puberty - could actually be useful to create more compliance.

Emily is a youtuber but has been much quieter in the last year or so since having the surgery

Maybe it has something to do with an Intense after care schedule.

I've seen a thread where the dilation schedule was posted...it looked pretty heavy going tbh

I dont know how it all fits In along side regular day to day lives

And once again, a complete failure of the the negatives: the infertility, the complete absence of sexual function, the lifelong wound issues, the increased risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease, the reduced bone density, the lack of brain development from puberty. All ignored.

I find it abhorrent that a functional female anatomy is entirely defined by whether a penis can go in it. It’s such a heterosexual male idea of what female anatomy is

As erm..interesting and less than attractive they are to look at, penises and vaginas are amazing things...all the stuff they can do, and feel, something that causes great distress pain and misery if they go wrong but also so much pleasure when all is right with them.

So much more than a hole or roll of skin..

Shows such little understanding of the human body

I find it abhorrent that a functional female anatomy is entirely defined by whether a penis can go in it. It’s such a heterosexual male idea of what female anatomy is.

It also reveals so much about why so many men can’t understand why the definition of woman does not include males. Do they actually think if there are some sort of breasts and a fuckable orifice that isn’t a mouth or an anus that makes a woman? Woman - has a simulacrum of adult female sexual characteristics that a man could have sex with. I despair. No wonder women’s rights are of no concern. We aren’t people to these men, we are sexual objects, brood mares and support humans.

It's like trans narrative bingo.

Am I the only one that feels like this? That I'm trapped in the wrong body?

Born in the wrong body.

As a young child, she changed her name and started dressing as a girl.

Stereotypes.

Dr. Ting considers it a life saving surgery, given the alarming rates of attempted suicide among transgender youth.

Suicide.

Emily's mother, Linda, says "And we knew the statistics and we knew we'd much rather have an alive daughter than a dead son.”

Suicide (again).

Emily says, "It's OK to be who you are and just present to the world as yourself.

But you have to completely change your body in order to present to the world as yourself.

basedrops you beat me to it...

Dr. Ting performed Emily’s reassignment surgery at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. He created female anatomy that is fully functional.

Define fully functional.

Self cleaning? Full set with uterus,ovaries, female pelvic structure, that menstruates and can gestate and birth a baby through a muscular birth canal?

I’m going to guess fully functional means can put a penis in it.
