”Surely he had enough brain cells to realise that amputation of penis and testicles {Or whatever is done} is going to render him literally a ''Eunuch'' as he states?
”It's basic common sense, surely.”
Presumably, he hoped he would wake up feeling like he was a woman. Instead, he realised he was never going to be a woman, but was still a man, only now he was surgically mutilated.
Back in earlier days, we are told that those who wanted this surgery went through extensive counseling about its limitations: that you would never be female, that it was cosmetic only, giving relief from the removal of body parts that were causing genuine distress and replacing them with something that would hopefully relieve that distress.
I suspect that is what’s been lost. The expectations people have are no longer realistic and the NHS likely now shies away from the brutal honesty about this procedure that has probably protected them from this kind of action previously.
it’s complicated because suing the NHS when it is already financially on the ropes is awful. But I’ve long thought that this entire movement would probably only be brought down when the medical negligence cases piled so high that they could no longer be ignored.
I think these procedures will eventually be seen as being as damaging as lobotomy. I think the swing against it will cause a significant backlash, which might go much further than it would have, had this not become so incredibly over-reaching. Those who have pushed so heavily to normalize, or even popularize this have created this monster. Having surgery to look like the opposite sex, if done at all, should always have been an absolute last resort for a tiny number of people.
