Surgeons advertise procedures to free non binary people of all genitals

Surgeons in the USA, via California are advertising surgeries to non-binary people that will remove their 'genital structures' so that their body will resemble 'neither male nor female'.

How this be allowable I have no idea. It seems like a free for all for unethical surgeons, coming up with bizarre concepts of what non-binary should be, based on their own imaginings.

Women are Human

Horrific. How is this remotely legal? Guessing (hoping) it wouldn’t pass the ethics committee in UK institutions?

@Deliriumoftheendless yes! Such a good film but incredibly unsettling. When it came out I thought it was fiction

@tibtom there's a young detrans man called Garrett (Kellie-Jay and Benjamin Boyce have interviewed him) who said where he lives the statute of limitations is one year.

Has anyone seen the film American Mary?

Shock

Why would you do that.

Surely this would come under fgm for the female patients?

Just how could anyone do this to people. Someone somewhere needs to just say "no we are stopping here before you do actual physical permant harm to yourself"

This shows a complete lack of understanding about what roles that genitals and the reproductive system play in the health of our bodies.

I have read about this. It sounds dreadful

I dunno,how doctors can do this

Horrific. Just horrific. Every day when you think it can’t get worse, it does.

This is one of those situations where just because we can do something doesn't mean we should.
Where are the ethics panels at these companies?

Still in the US I do hope there will be plenty suing them for damages in the future and they will deserve it

Isn't there an issue with claims getting time-barred after only a few years?

But this is what happens when cosmetic surgery, a competitive market, surgeons' egos, money, and a lack of morals mix.

This has to be seen as abuse of patients in light of their mental health issues. Surely, this cannot be encouraged.

And ‘add Ins’? WTF!!!

This is sickening and warped. These so called doctors should be struck off. They are wilfully experimenting on people for their own gratification . Clearly they want to bring about some world firsts as surgeons abs gain profit and power from it. They are sick. Still in the US I do hope there will be plenty suing them for damages in the future and they will deserve it.

There are also examples of people wanting both male and female genitalia.

The article mentions that as well.

The same company offers a procedure called “phalgina,” or “penile preservation vaginoplasty,” which allows males who identify as transgender or non-binary to install a facsimile of a vagina while retaining the penis.

There are also examples of people wanting both male and female genitalia. I can’t remember the details, but read of one person who was crowdfunding for surgery to “add in” a “vagina” to their existing genitalia.

This is just pure madness. But as foolish as it is, I am less concerned about what some misguided individuals willfully do to their own bodies than I am about the effect that the transgender movement has on women as a whole by violating women's boundaries.
