Why do people (predominantly men) seek surgical reassignment (as a woman)? [...]
In one category fall homosexual men who are morally uncomfortable about their orientation and see reassignment as a way of solving the problem. If they are actually women, sexual interactions with men get redefined as heterosexual.
McHugh argued that many of the others seeking reassignment are cross-dressers. These are heterosexual men who derive sexual pleasure from wearing women's clothing. According to McHugh, surgery is the logical extreme of identifying with a female identity through cross-dressing.
If his thesis is correct, McHugh denies that reassignment surgery is ever either medically necessary or ethically defensible. He feels that the surgeon is merely cooperating with delusional thinking. It is analogous to providing liposuction treatment for an anorexic who is extremely slender but believes themselves to be overweight.

Adult Reassignment Results
Anecdotally, the first hurdle for reassignment is how the result is perceived by others. This problem is familiar to anyone who looked at Dustin Hoffman's depiction of a woman (Tootsie). Diligent as the actor was in his preparation, his character looked masculine.
For male-to-female transsexuals, the toughest audience to convince is women. As McHugh reported, one of his female colleagues said: “Gals know gals, and that's a guy.”
According to McHugh, although transsexuals did not regret their surgery, there were little or no psychological benefits:
“They had much the same problems with relationships, work, and emotions, as before. The hope that they would emerge now from their emotional difficulties to flourish psychologically had not been fulfilled (2)”.
Thanks to McHugh's influence, gender reassignment surgeries were halted at Johns Hopkins. The surgeries were resumed, however, and are now carried out in many hospitals here and around the world.

As a side note, it appears that the growth of children's surgeries is being initiated by those in the trans and homosexual community and forced on the medical community. This is similar to the bizarre news that trannies are reading to children in libraries and holding drag contests in elementary schools.
As disgusting as this subject is, we must know our enemy to defeat it.

Sorry about that, Humblegummer. I will remember next time.
‘Gender reassignment’ = nothing more than genital mutilation = big business.
Remember the days when the Left etc. used to decry genital mutilation in the Middle East and Africa. Not no more, they have simply turned into some twisted ass gender business game on mostly hapless and clueless children.
No...I don't remember those days.
Did the Left EVER complain about the treatment of women in the ME and Africa?
Or are you being facetious?
Genital mutilation inferred/referred to female genital mutilation.
Still, I don’t remember the Left ever complaining about the treatment of women (genital mutilations or otherwise) in the ME or Africa. Crickets in fact.
Until the leftists noticed that it was committed chiefly by African tribes and Muslims - then it became necessary to hush it up and pretend it didn't exist. "All cultures are equal," dontcha know?

Of course....
Who is a Leftist organization.
UN Population Fund is a Leftist organization.
Human Rights Watch is a Leftist organization.
I could go on.
But not by Leftist America.
Hence there silence?

When you have a split over this issue growing in the LGBT community, you know something is up?
“Dude looks like a lady!”

Soon this trans stuff will seem so quaint and “2022.” Society will have “progressed” to where people who “identify” as animals will have themselves surgically altered. California will pay to have children kidnapped and brought to the state to have “species reassignment surgery.” Their faces will be disfigured to look like dogs or cats and this will be proclaimed as “liberation.” Saying that this harms children will be a “hate crime.” Just wait, something like this will happen soon.
Tragically more little girls want to be boys than boys want to be girls. More girls are undergoing breast removal than boys suffering castration. Both surgeries are evil.
But on a serious note, all the gender-bender stuff is really nothing more than homosexuals pushing the limits of reality. Given who is pushing gender perversion, I think it will continue to circle around its sexual perversion core.
That said, if homosexuals veer off into sex with same sex animals, I wouldn't be surprised if what you suggest becomes popular.
As Paul Washer says in the first few minutes of the following video, the sex drive of humans is incredibly dangerous (he calls it sexual sin)...more dangerous than any drug.
Here's the video:

“Please use the publication date when you post old articles. Using today’s date doesn’t tell us anything.”
That helps, of course, and makes for a fuller thread, but some posters will reference an old article/item and intentionally leave off the original date, to further their own agenda (knowing that too many readers don’t go to the articles in the provided links to read or check them). But if one does click on the link, including in this current thread, one can see/learn the original date very easily. This is a relatively good practice, even if one doesn’t read/watch the (entire) article/item (but watch out for click-bait and malware schemes).
