Don't you get the sense that there is a big racket behind this? I mean, has this procedure ever been approved by any state legislature? What about the AMA or other doctors professional associations? What do they say about it? If this had been approved by law, then we would have heard debate about it in the media. I think the 101 conservative mailings that I receive at my home would have mentioned any attempt to make this legal, yet I never remember reading anything about bills being passed to approve this monstrosity. When did it become legal and where? If no laws were ever passed allowing this procedure, how did it get past the legislature? Did they look the other way? What about the psychiatrists that are supposed to approve the procedure? Has anyone of them ever said no to a hopeful transsexual? Is there a relationship between the psychiatrists and the doctors who do the procedures? Has there ever been any follow ups both for the physical and psychiatric evaluations for one year, five years, ten years after the procedures? What about the suicide rates after the procedures? What medical insurance plans pay for it? Does medicaid pay for it? Is our tax money used for this in any way?
Excellent questions. I understand that the surgery alone costs $50,000 and up, depending on where it is done.
Seems like a big racket to me.
I was afraid you would ask. Not that I knew, but it wouldn’t surprise me if somehow the US taypayers is paying to castrate “men” and attach their appendages to “women”.
Or something.
