One of the first studies into the side effects of transgender surgeries has revealed alarmingly high rates of post-op pain, aching during intercourse, and bladder problems, raising troubling questions for this new frontier of medicine.
A huge majority - 81 percent - of those who had surgery on their genitals in the past five years said they endured pain simply from moving around in the weeks and months after going under the knife.
Researchers from the University of Florida and Brooks Rehabilitation, a health non-profit, showed that more than half of trans surgery patients endured pain during sex, and nearly a third could not control their bladders.
Dr Meryl Alappattu, a UF physiotherapy professor, said she would publish her report later this year, but released provisional findings in a private online workshop that DailyMail.com was able to attend.
'There is a high percentage reporting musculoskeletal pain, difficulty moving, and pelvic floor dysfunction,' said Dr Alappattu, adding that more research is needed in a poorly-understood area.
'In terms of getting information related to the efficacy of these types of treatments … we still have a lot of work to do.'
Surgically altering male and female genitals to match those of the opposite sex — known as vaginoplasties and phalloplasties — are widely understood to be tough and problematic procedures.
Women who transition to become men may opt to have a penis constructed from tissue extracted from their arms, although this procedure is also complex, and the result is still markedly different to a biological penis.
Removing the breasts of female-to-male transitioners is simpler, but can also lead to pain, infections, and such problems as stitches bursting apart, particularly on overweight patients.

Way beyond the threshold for banning these procedures entirely.
We are up against evil...
It’s not real. It doesn't work. Just exactly how can they rationalize calling themselves men? You would think that prior to surgery that these freaks have some idea of what their non-member will look like. It's simply denying reality. That's their real mental illness, not some leftist psychobabble gender dysphoria. It makes zero sense to encourage their delusions.
Well, having a pecker poked into a pee hole would explain that...
You cannot change your sex. Deal with it or seek help to deal with it.
Silly me..I was thinking in yesteryears terms.
“...new frontier of medicine...”
Liars & propagandists. Butchery is not ‘medicine’.
BINGO!!!!
However, if these people are Democrats, Leftists, Liberals, or Marxists does it really matter if they are STERILIZED?
Best part for the rest of us is these people CAN’T REPRODUCE, and as such their SICKNESS dies with them.
This is why the suicide rate is so high AFTER surgery. Parents are gaslit with “your kid will commit suicide if you don’t let them do this”. The kids are gaslit with “you will be happy if you do this”. The reality is that the kids become permanent patients with ill health, pain, multiple surgeries, etc & now they have more issues than before transitioning. More than a few suicide. The “cure” for the majority of confused kids is to let them go through a normal puberty.
I heard an interview by Dr. Peter McCullough on his podcast The McCullough Report on a book every parent should read - very worth the time to listen:
Lost in Trans Nation, with Author Dr. Miriam Grossman
Book description:
Throughout our country, atrocities are taking place in doctor’s offices and hospital operating rooms. Physically healthy children and adolescents are being permanently disfigured and sometimes sterilized. Those youth say they’re transgender, and we—their parents, teachers, therapists, and doctors—are supposed to agree with their self-diagnosis and take a back seat as they make the most consequential decision of their lives: to alter their bodies in order to, we are told, “align” them with their minds.
Medical, educational, and government authorities advise us to support the “gender journeys” of still developing kids, including medical interventions with poor evidence of long-term improvement.
This would not be acceptable in any other field of medicine. Indeed, the treatments our medical authorities and Washington call “crucial” and “life-saving” have been banned in progressive Sweden, Finland, and Britain.
Dr. Miriam Grossman is a child and adolescent psychiatrist whose practice consists of trans-identified youth and their families. In Lost in Trans Nation, she implores parents to reject the advice of gender experts and politicians and trust their guts—their parental instincts—in the face of an onslaught of ideologically driven misinformation that steers them and their children toward risky decisions they may end up mourning for the rest of their lives.
The beliefs that male and female are human inventions; that the sex of a newborn is arbitrarily “assigned”; and that as a result the child requires “affirmation” through medical interventions—these ideas are divorced from reality and therefore hazardous, especially to children. The core belief—that biology can and should be denied—is a repudiation of reality and a mockery of what hard science teaches about being male and female.
Dr. Grossman believes that parents know their child best; they especially know if they have a son or daughter. But currently in our country when it comes to gender identity, everyone knows better than mom and dad. Schools enable students to live double lives—Patrick at home, Patti at school. Activists tell kids their loving homes are “unsafe” when parents voice doubts about the child’s new identity. For refusing to see their son as their daughter, parents might be reported to protective services, a development that can lead to a family’s destruction.
Lost in Trans Nation arms parents with the ammunition to avoid, or, if necessary, fight what many families describe as the most difficult challenge of their lives. Parents will learn what to say and how—at home, at school, and if necessary, to police when they appear at the door.
“Don’t be blindsided like so many parents I know,” warns Grossman, “be proactive and get educated. Feel prepared and confident to discuss trans, nonbinary, or whatever your child brings to the dinner table.” Whether it’s the “trans is as common as red hair” claim, or the “I’m not your son, I’m your daughter” proclamation, or the “do you prefer a live son or a dead daughter’ threat, says Grossman, no family is immune, and every parent must be prepared.
No child is born in the wrong body, Dr. Grossman reassures us, their bodies are just fine; it’s their emotional lives that need healing. Whether you’re facing a gender identity battle in your home right now, or want to prevent one, you need this book to guide you and your loved ones out of the madness.
Other than that, what could go wrong?
Brought to you by the same folks that gave you Covid-1984.
Just because we can!
I honestly think the purpose here is to create an Army of people who will be in constant pain, misery and hopelessness. These people will be willing to do WHATEVER their masters tell them because their life will have no value.
How about not doing the surgeries in the first place? or are ya just so money hungry?
I totally despise the medical profession.
Bring back quack doctors.
Ahhhh the good old days!
The 70s were not a good decade in the sartorial sense.
>> Why is it allowed?
Guessing 99% of the population didn’t realize it was happening to children and young adults. And that includes me up until recently.
Regarding adults, extensive counseling should be mandatory before undergoing sexual restructuring, amputation, and other forms of mutilation.
Because not thinking things through is the liberal way.
HERETIC!
Given the negatives listed in the headline, it appears trans surgery is a total failure.
For thousands of years, people have been satisfied with the way God made them. The sad results of trans surgery reminds us once again the God is not mocked.
