A little off topic, but I've always wondered why medical professionals would even do these surgeries.

1) It strikes me as mutilation, serving no legitimate medical purpose.

2) The time they spend doing these operations could be better spent helping people with medical rather than mental problems.

Any thoughts?

Is there money in it?

The most lucrative surgeries for doctors are cosmetic surgeries. This probably falls under that category. These kinds of surgeries are a cash transaction.

No person can ever have a "sex change." The use of the language has been so twisted by the leftist radicals, that in our touchy-feely world, many blindly accept some of these erroneous terminologies.

XX or XY chromosones can't be changed after conception when mitosis begins.

The physicians who do this should not be allowed to practice medicine. The same goes for breast implants: instead of lawsuits against Dow-Corning, the doctors who implanted the silicone bags should be held liable...

Sexual determination during embryogenesis is a very delicate procedure. If even as little as one rececptor on a cell is damaged or missing the proper chemical signals cannot be given the cells. In these cases what should have been a boy is now a girl or something in between (depends on when during embryogenesis the problem occured). Medicine used to turn these intersexed individuals into girls. However, often the brain is not that of a girl but a boy or visa versa. So today medicine prefers to the leave the intersexed child alone and see which way the child goes, as we all know there are activities that relate to boys and those activites that relate to girls, especially when they are young.

I see many people here grouping the intersexed with the homosexual. The intersexed seriously were BORN that way. They cannot help it. Homosexuals make a choice. There's a difference.
