A transgender teen with cerebral palsy who went viral after posting about his breast-removal surgery has told DailyMail.com that he knew what he was doing and is happy with his choices.
Micah LeRoy, 19, a University of Minnesota student, had a double mastectomy last month and shared footage about the procedure, and his painful but swift recovery, on Instagram.
Those videos exploded on conservative social media on Thursday, with critics calling Micah a victim who should not have been greenlighted for a sex change because of his disability.
But, speaking with DailyMail.com, Micah said he had a long history of gender identity issues and that he is glad he provoked a reaction because he 'wanted to blow up the internet.'
Micah's case raises tough questions about whether disabled people and minors should be allowed to take puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones and undergo sex change operations.
Micah's disability, cerebral palsy, affects movement and muscle control. He is able to speak and write for himself, gets straight As at college, and is involved in state politics.
'I am making these decisions,' said Micah.
'I am my own legal guardian. And people don't understand that.'

As usual for these narcissistic freaks.
Sadly.
Quite.
Perhaps some day she’ll understand that she’s not a “man”, she’s a woman without tits.
The “he” in the article is really a “she”.
“Micah LeRoy... is happy with his (?) choices... [to have] a double mastectomy last month.”
The decision is less than a month old. The happy self-evaluation is meaningless. Live your life first. Then, come back and let everyone know how smart this was.
This becoming a public discussion is insane. But if we must, I’d suggest a few reasonable limits:
No children. Ok. This is a 19-year-old.
No tax dollars. Did this disabled person have some source of income enabling “him” (the “man” with “his” breasts removed) to pay for this crazy procedure.
No protection for medical professionals from civil liability. Do not make sane doctors pay higher premiums on malpractice insurance for this nonsense because then we are all subsidizing it.
It is not “his” breast removal surgery. It ain’t a him.
