Talk about confused....
It is like giving someone a living rather than making them earn one, if s/he had to earn and save up for the operation, it would be more meaningful due to actual sacrifice on its part and thus would have less regret about it later.
This is exactly why you don’t pay for these types of surgery using the public dole, you make them pay for it itselves.
ps: just had to add, this is the same COmmieCare national health service that (almost daily) is written up for keeping people in long lines for essential surgeries, with some croaking before they can get repaired................and this is the same NHS CommieObamaCare that denies treatment (kills off) old people with curable or fixable conditions that Big Brother (or here, Big Sister) deems “not worth fixing because the old fart is, well, old).
Vote for Romney on Tuesday and get every other Romney voter to the polls, every last one of them too! Whatever all of Governor Romney’s many liberal faults may be, he has promised to cancel ObamaCare. If you plan on staying healthy or getting old (and not being Culled From The Herd by some CommieObamaCare bureaucrat or committee of BureauCraps), then please get out the R vote, every R vote. Thanks! (I want to continue to get health care that is designed to cure or fix me, and let me live out my allotted lifespan, without having Obama controlling my access to the doctor, or dictating when he can and when he cannot cure what ails me. Please everyone help get out the vote! Thanks.
Mrs. Garrison: Hello doctor, looks like I need an abortion. [sits on the chair and puts his feet on the stirrups]
Doctor: ...an abortion?
Mrs. Garrison: Yeah, I’ve got one growing inside me. Now, are you gonna scramble its brains or just vacuum it out? [a nurse arrives and her jaw drops] ...If you want you can just scramble it and I’ll queef it out myself.
Doctor: Mmister Garrison-
Mrs. Garrison: [correcting him] Mrs. Garrison.
Doctor: Mmrs. Garrison, you can’t have an abortion.
Mrs. Garrison: Don’t you tell me what I can and can’t do with my body! [gets up, goes to the nurse, and hugs her] A woman has a right to choose!
Doctor: No, I mean you’re physically unable to have an abortion, because you can’t get pergnant.
Mrs. Garrison: But I missed my period.
Doctor: You can’t have periods either. [Mrs. Garrison looks surprised] You had a sex change, Mr. Garrison, but you don’t have ovaries or a womb. You don’t produce eggs.
Mrs. Garrison: [sits down] You mean, I’ll never know what it feels like to have a baby growing inside me and then scramble its brains and vacuum it out?
Doctor: N-that’s right.
Mrs. Garrison: But I paid five thousand dollars to be a woman. This would mean I I’m not really a woman. Ih, I’m just a... a I’m just a guy with a mutilated penis!
Doctor: Basically, yes.
Mrs. Garrison: ...Oh boy, do I feel like a jackass.
Female. Definitely female.
i can say nothing other than I will pray for this person
You were born a boy and you were always a boy no matter how you change the plumbing, you are still a boy. Pretending otherwise is just denying reality.
yeppers
Smart girl...uh boy.
Hope he/she kept certain extra parts leftover (from the previous change out) in the freezer for just this occasion............/s
Woops! Reread the article. Glad he/she kept the original parts before changing his/her mind.
I believe that there is no such thing as a human “sex change”. There is either a Y chromosome or not. A mentally disturbed person may want to roleplay as an “it” in the opposite gender and even mutilate and inject their bodies to make the mascarade more convincing to themselves and others but it ain’t a sex change. To make the taxpayers pay for such insanity is offensive.
ITA! It sounds to me like what he/she needed was serious psychotherapy; not a sex-change.

Mental illness is such a sad thing. We shouldn’t feed it by doing whatever foolish thing the mentally ill patient demands.

In America its called a Democrat.
So am I and I likewise find it hilarious and true.
