A TRANSGENDER woman has spoken of her joy at becoming the oldest person in Britain to have surgery.

Ruth Rose, 85, had a reassignment op four years ago after her doctor told her she could be considered for the full procedure.

She has defended the £4,000 cost of the surgery by sitting on an NHS advisory board and volunteering for charities that support old people.

Ruth told the BBC: “It is only in the past 15 years that this has become acceptable. Before that people thought it was just for freaks.”

Ruth had the surgery after living as a woman for several years.

She had been known as James Rose, an ex-RAF navigator, mechanical engineer and financial consultant.

The NHS approved the gender reassignment surgery for an 81 year old, but wouldn't give Alfie Evans a chance. Insane.

How many grandmothers over there would be able to walk again (after getting a knee or hip), except for the selfishness of this woman?

"Before that people thought it was just for freaks".

It doesn't matter what people think, sir. You're still a freak, by choice. The only thing that's different is your disguise.

Maybe if Alfie’s parents had claimed that he was the wrong gender.

This person feels true joy, now that that pesky protuberance is gone. This person’s life is now complete. Holy Toledo, what a crazy world this is.

Google “genetic entropy”....also consider synthetic or naturally occuring organic molecules which have gender bending possibilities( especially during gestation)

Which tells me age is not a factor in the mental illness known as gender dysphoria.

Many leftist freaks are easily manipulated into utter nonsense by their leftist governments who they worship as gods.

Exactly.

The dude hasn’t been reassigned anything. He’s just been mutilated.

As always, South Park gets to the point:

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 pregnant.
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. I... 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.
