Sadly this seems to be quite common. A large percentage of transgender people are still unhappy even after surgery.

“Next Thursday, I will get a vagina.

...

Until the day I die, my body will regard the vagina as a wound”

Your body is transphobic, obviously.

[Skywise]

To paraphrase Woody of Toy Story.

YOU
ARE
A
MAN

You have a penis which probably perfectly healthy and functional. I get it - you feel feminine. I feel rich too - it doesn’t mean we get what we fantasize about.

NY Slimes pandering to mental illness.... what a surprise.

Tough sh!t.
Play psychotic games, win psychotic prizes.

Typical Trans says: "I'm mentally ill -- and, while I don't think that having my genitals surgically mutilated will make me happy, I want to do it anyway ... is that OK?"

Typical Liberal: "You go girl!"

My brother was a boy trapped in a woman’s body, too.

Then, he was born.

It comes down to chromosomes: XX or XY. Ain’t no operation will change that. This guy does have a mental illness.

[poinq]

I would like to slap this guy and his doctor. There are lots of others I woul like to slap as well, like the New York Times editorial board. And any one else there that thought this was a good story. Then i would like to slap anyone who told this person he could not be happy with who he is. There is no such thing has fixing your sex. Its just doctors playing around at your expense.

Will there be a follow up article after the inevitable suicide?

[madprof98]

This guy is crazy as hell and pretty much admits it. In fact, he says he wasn’t suicidal til he started taking hormones, and now he is. It is medical malpractice to give him these drugs. Period. End of story. He needs to be in an asylum, and his physicians need to be in jail. For good.

All to collect disability.

Wife works in the mental healthcare field. The first thing these mental people will say to get their way is “I am disabled.”

the gender they’ve been socially assigned

Society didn't give you the appendage you're about to have removed. Society may have had something to do with your delusions, but it didn't give you a tallywhacker.

[wjcsux]

If you have one, you’re a male, if you don’t, you are a female, pretty straight forward in my book.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The mentally ill now rule over us.

[lurk]

The surgeon’s knife can’t cut chromosomes.

FUBAR...big time!

[HamiltonJay]

You can’t fix a mental delusion by pandering to it...

Folks involved in doing this are engaging in malpractice and abuse

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Sadly this seems to be quite common. A large percentage of transgender people are still unhappy even after surgery.

And the ones who have surgery have a MUCH higher suicide rate.

They are just plain mentally ill.

[faithhopecharity]

Doesn’t sound like he should do it!

[robowombat]

Next Thursday, I will get a vagina. The procedure will last around six hours, and I will be in recovery for at least three months. Until the day I die, my body will regard the vagina as a wound; as a result, it will require regular, painful attention to maintain.

Other considerations aside this is why trans people should not be in the military. For the same reason that those with diabetes or a raft of other medical conditions debar individuals with them from the uniformed services. Deployed to some very primitive place such as Afghanistan individuals with various conditions degrade unit readiness just by being there. Why are the progs so devoid of basic common sense on this one? Apparently sexual identity trumps everything else.
