Transwoman murderer/torturer - sex change on NHS

[thebluearsefly]

I missed this.

Does anyone know if this has gone ahead?

[OP intended this to be in FWR so we've moved it over]

Fully functioning healthy bodies should not be given surgical priority over those who suffer from life altering conditions or require life saving surgery.

Agreed.

I think that this surgery should still have the "lived in proposed gender for two years," caveat and that years in prison do not count.

What are these years for? They are so the person makes an informed cost/benefit analysis and decision. Prison is a totally artificial environment, I can see that someone who feels comfortable being a trans woman in prison, where legally their demands are met and people have to pretend, would not be prepared for life as such in the outside world. I actually think it's quite immoral to allow this kind of decision in such an environment.

That's before we consider everyone else....

Do you really seek to remove human rights from prisoner's?

That's an interesting philosophical question. Is it a human right to demand the government remove perfectly healthy body parts? I would argue no. And you?

Not a human right, no. Horrifying the precedence these people have, especially as I would argue that having to have a monthly blood transfusion is pretty damn life threatening.
I am wondering if this is the government’s ruinously expensive version of chemical castration? “Please please catrate me!” “Oh, go on, as you asked so nicely”.

Obvs. Not the same as what is happening to children, which I think is disgusting, and should never have been allowed, whether at 16 as claimed or pre-pubescent, as also claimed.

If a trans prisoner needs psychiatric help, whilst in prison, fine. 80k of sex reassignment surgery is totally not ok. Why should tax payers money be used to placate a dangerous sexual predator?

You shouldn’t call it sex change surgery, OP.
Changing sex is physically impossible.
It’s just surgery to remove normal body parts and create a cosmetic imitation of the opposite sex, in a usually unsuccessful attempt to reduce psychiatric morbidity in patients with gender dysphoria.

Agree with Babduc

• Why do you consider a cosmetic surgery a “human right”?

• Are you aware that over 50% of transwoman prisoners are sexual predators?

• Are you aware many of these prisoners wishing to transition are doing it for access to women’s prisons - either for what they see as “cushier” accommodations or worse, for access to women? That they only seem to start identifying as trans once charged or imprisoned? See Karen White.

• Do you think autogynephilia should be treated with cosmetic surgery?

anniehm “trust me it’s seriously rationed!”

Not anymore it’s not. Not if you are a prisoner. Not if you are a child after what Mermaids has done to those safeguards. Are you aware of what has been happening with Tavistock lately? How their former staff governor has expressed concern about the lack of safeguarding and looking at other factors before medical transition?

Not U.K. based but you should also watch the documentary on YouTube that peachyyoghurt translated. It shows very well the push to transition and to skip steps, and we know that is happening in the U.K. too.

It’s alarming to me alone that your DD apparently has multiple friends who are identifying as trans - that should be setting off alarm bells, and in that case “rationing” is better than speeding things up through going private.

Meanwhile every few months my mum has to spend 7 days+ in hospital because her periods don't stop and her blood doesn't clot, she needs transfusions. Will they give her a hysterectomy though? Will they balls.

That is some serious bleeding if not exaggerated. Check the reason for refusal as a pp said - it could be that they fear extra surgery in someone who's blood won't clot will push them straight into lethal territory.

DangermousesSidekick I agree, if she doesn’t clot then surgery is a huge risk. Then again, bleeding every few months and needing transfusions is also a risk. It seems the lesser of the two evils is to risk the surgery and then after that there isn’t anymore risks to take. It’s shocking that women are left to suffer in such ways that no man ever would.

dangerous not exaggerated. In the past year she has been hospitalised with Hb levels of 56, 67 and 63.

She spends months with her clotting factors being fine. She could have the surgery then. Her gastro consultant wants her to have it. Gynae-surgery wanted her to have it. But they cant get her on the list as it isn't emergent or part of the cancer pathway national targets.

Like I said I work on the ward where she would have this, I know that if her coags are too deranged they cant operate full stop, but there are periods of time where she could if someone actually listed her.

I've seen this sort of stuff professionally as well as personally. Not just in gynae, but breast surgeries. I can understand because I know how badly the NHS is struggling but as it is struggling I really can't find the sympathy for people who want surgery on demand purely for cosmetic reasons whilst operating under the false illusion that it'll improve their mental health (suicide rates don't actually go down following transition surgery)

The surgery isn't evidenced based so I don't think the NHS should fund it anyway
It needs proper research and not lobby groups to decide on the most appropriate course of action

This surgery is purely cosmetic. Why is a prisoner getting cosmetic surgery on the NHS?

Did anyone else see BBC Breakfast this morning and the story about the boy and his prosthetic arm? It cost £10,000 and they had to fund it themselves. The NHS wouldn't pay for it yet this murderer is entitled to £80,000 worth of cosmetic surgery?

misscockerspaniel that is truly horrifying and offensive.
