Anyone else think Sex Change operations are wrong?

I can't even begin to understand how it would feel to wake up every morning, looking yourself in the mirror and not recognize your outside appearance as a reflection of how you feel on the inside. To always feel like you're trapped in a shell that doesn't represent who you truly are.

So no, I don't see this surgery as something "dumb".

To answer the OP -NO, it`s not wrong!

You`d make such a beautiful woman, Joll! With those doggy eyes, you could rule the world! :biggrin1:

Bugger off! lol.

You meant dodgy eyes didn't you? :wink:

It comes down to an expensive and dangerous elective surgery based on an insecurity with ones physical appearance. Lets be honest, ladies and sassy gay men.. you've never had a snide remark to make about a woman getting breast implants or face lifts? Those who get the "re-assignment" surgery deserve the same ridicule that Meg Ryan got for f*cking up her face, and the same constant jokes Pamela Anderson gets about her boobs.

 

[B_just8inches]

You're right. No sign of prejudice anywhere about you.

You're sarcastic. Ok the thing I am prejudice against is the surgery not the people. You know it's possible to disagree with someone and not be intolerant of them. All the sick children out there who can't even get basic medical care and then there's people dropping $100,000 on a genital lift. How about they donate that money to a charity and feel a little better about helping someone. I am NOT intolerant of their transsexualism.

I'm finished with this thread until it gets reported. I believe in the freedom of speech but I also support my freedom not to read BS. I suggest you do some serious reading about this subject. It's not insecurity about appearance but complete gender identity. Comparing it to Pamela Anderson or Meg Ryan is absolutely ludicrous.
If you actually have some data about the percentage of patients who had remorse I would really like to read it as I requested in my prior post.

Ah. Then you are prejudiced. You get indignant when somebody calls you on your shit. A friend'll do that. People who don't give a shit won't. Just sayin'...

I don't buy the claims of so-called "gender dysmorphia" or whatever other term they use these days to defined so-called trans-sexualism. That said, it's clear that people who think in this way are very unhappy and struggle to make decent lives for themselves. Indifference to this or any kind of human suffering is indecent.

I favor accepting that there are some people who need to live as the gender other than their biological one. I also advise such individuals to seriously rethink the need for radical surgeries and other medical procedures to change their appearance to do so.

In spite of the very liberal attitude of the medical establishment here in Switzerland about gender reassignment we have definitely a lot of cases where the persons committed suicide after the operation.

Studies or it didn't happen.

If you think sex change operations are wrong, then don't undergo a sex change operation.

It's nobody's business but that of the transgendered person seeking the surgery, and perhaps his or her loved ones.

Right... the people who undergo a change-sex surgery "deserve ridicule", but you're not prejudice about the people.. no.. not at all.

Rofl, it's a perfectly legitimate comparison. So you wish you were born different. People all over the world wish they were born different than they are. The Rolling Stones have this nifty tune that goes something like, "You can't always get what you want." And don't gay people find it offensive that some a woman might rather have her vagina turned into a penis and be a heterosexual man rather than a gay woman?

And if it's not about sexual orientation.. then what? Going to the bathroom? I just hate peeing with my penis! I wish I could urinate out of a vagina instead... Or what you look in the mirror and get really depressed because of .. the way you look? It's shallow. Pure and simple. Shallowness.

I have never seen such a balls-out, ostentatious wad of narcissism - fueled ignorance in my life.

 

[B_just8inches]

Right... the people who undergo a change-sex surgery "deserve ridicule", but you're not prejudice about the people.. no.. not at all.

I said deserve the "Same ridicule", can you learn to read and not take it out of context? I'm sure there's plenty of people on this site who have made fun of people for getting excessive plastic surgery.. then all of a sudden it's considered intolerant to be just as consistently against elective surgery on the genitals as I am about it on the face.

I never said they should be illegal. I'd have no problem with a transexual pride parade, or the people involved. Again, I have a problem with the operation.

The second you explain how getting elective surgery on your dick is any different than elective surgery on a pair of tits I'll change my opinion.

I'll agree with the characterization of the OP, but come on... you've been here long enough to have seen similar displays.

 

[HappyBoi]

Wow.. This is probably one of the threads most filled with prejudice I've seen in a while. It's sickening..

I don't want you to change your opinion. I want you to fuck off.

Well, not out of him, anyway, but he just got on my radar. :biggrin1::tongue:

 

[B_just8inches]

I like how elected members of your government are actively trying to take away the rights of gay citizens and I am labeled prejudice for expressing an opinion about a surgery.
