“therefore any questions about why a teenage girl might not want to be female are as verboten as asking a gay man why he doesn’t fancy women.”

This is such an excellent illustration!

And we are told the nhs is on its knees and poor clients of mine are waiting for surgery for cancer? Outrageous

Please take a look at this. This is what the NHS is offering mentally unwell young women: as well as double mastectomy, hysterectomy (keyhole!) it is offering genital surgeries to approximate male genitals plus planning phalloplasties! I would like to know if this involves flaying the woman’s arm to make what? The mind boggles.

“A metoidioplasty is an operation that results in the creation of a small Neophallus, by straightening and lengthening a hormonally enlarged clitoris.We also offer the option of simultaneously having a laparoscopic hysterectomy which is keyhole surgery involving the removal the womb (uterus), including the neck of the womb (cervix) and salpingo-oophorectomy (removal of the fallopian tubes and ovaries).”

”We are setting up provisions to provide phalloplasty and further information on this surgical provision will be published shortly.”

Just so clear, correct and well written. Thanks for posting.

Hadley absolutely smashing it as usual, bloody well done. She is so clear, which is a much bigger achievement than it may sound given the topic. And she really cares. I'm not normally one for blame and punishment but I am glad to see she has named and shamed. How could these people not just stop and think for five minutes and realise something was badly wrong?
