I can't bring myself to watch it. I find the whole larking around, banter side of it rather sickening, if I'm honest.
From the trailer I did see Jazz seemed utterly shocked about the state of her male genitals. The fact that her doctor is her mum's own cousin was not lost on me either.
It's as though Jazz was under the impression that they could actually change sex, and everything that entails.
I understood she was asking her parents quite how much of a vagina a man sees when he's having sex with a woman. Presumably because she's worried that it won't look right?
I gather her dad was embarrassed to answer.
But what struck me, forcibly, was it the sort of reaction one might expect when a child says something like what's an orgasm? Or what is sperm? A straightforward question about sex education.
Not asking your dad how much of your mum's vagina he sees because you're worried that your surgically created vagina might deter boyfriends.
That's what I meant when I wondered whether or not the puberty blockers arrest brain development. Or maturity. She comes across as incredibly young. Like an 11-year-old...
Not a 17-year-old who understands the lifelong implications of being permanently sterile, always on hormones, no libido, limited sexual function, and having to decide between the penis of a child, or a bodged job vagina. With no clitoris.
Sorry.
I find this unbelievable. And I'm not using that word lightly.
