I Wish I Had Been Told About These Risks Before I Had Gender Surgery
The Daily Signal ^ | 6/9/2016 | Walt Heyer

Many Americans are unaware of the serious problems that face transgender persons. More than 50 percent had active suicidal thoughts and 45 percent had had a major depressive episode. For instance, a 2016 study comparing 20 Lebanese transgender participants to 20 control subjects reported that transgender individuals suffer from more psychiatric pathologies compared to the general population. More than 50 percent had active suicidal thoughts and 45 percent had had a major depressive episode.

Most of ‘em were probably messed up to begin with.

Plus learning that you can’t just pee anywhere has to be traumatic.

Because “we can’t sew it back on” wasn’t enough of a warning.

Did you ask for correct information?
Who has the responsibility for YOU to KNOW?

In a free society you are responsible for YOUR own decisions, or at least you used to be.

Nobody told me not to smoke while pumping gas into my car.

Nobody told me not to aim that air nailer toward myself.

Nobody told me not to grab that tiger by the back foot at the zoo.

The bottom line:

"Transgender individuals need psychotherapy not access to cross-sex restrooms, showers and dressing areas. Blaming society for the ills of transgender persons will not improve their diagnosis and treatment."

Should have just watched South Park:

MRS. GARRISON
Hello doctor, looks like I need an abortion.

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? ...If you want
you can just scramble it and I’ll queef
it out myself.

DOCTOR
Mmister Garrison-

MRS. GARRISON
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! A woman has a right
to choose!

DOCTOR
No, I mean you’re physically unable
to have an abortion, because you can’t
get pergnant.

MRS. GARRISON
But I missed my period.

DOCTOR
You can’t have periods either. You
had a sex change, Mr. Garrison, but
you don’t have ovaries or a womb. You
don’t produce eggs.

MRS. GARRISON
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. Ih, 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.

These gender benders have a serious mental disorder and the result of suicidal tendencies come as no surprise to me . Catering to them only perpetuates the madness and the surgeons are the catalyst of this insanity .

“Nobody told me not to smoke while pumping gas into my car.”

Derek Zoolander:
“If there is anything that this horrible tragedy can teach us, it’s that a male model’s life is a precious, precious commodity. Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features, it doesn’t mean that we too can’t not die in a freak gasoline fight accident.”

If the US split into two countries, the “Nanny States” and the “Responsible States”, the “Responsible States” would have a wall 10’ thick 100’ high with autocannons every fifty yards, and after the “Nans” had exhausted their synonyms for nazis/racists and every other type of ‘phobe, half the budget of the starving “Nanny States” would be spent on ladders.

The other half on Hillary’s wardrobe plastic surgery & hath attendants OK I’m done ;)

#10 ~ "These gender benders have a serious mental disorder and the result of suicidal tendencies come as no surprise to me . Catering to them only perpetuates the madness and the surgeons are the catalyst of this insanity. " from the article: One area where medical professionals should tread lightly is in the diagnosis and treatment of children who have gender identity issues. A 2015 study aimed to gather input from pediatric endocrinologists, psychologists, psychiatrists, and ethicists—both those in favor and those opposed to early treatment—to further the ethical debate. The results showed no consensus on many basic topics of childhood gender dysphoria and insufficient research to support any recommendations for childhood treatments, including the currently published guidelines that recommend suppressing puberty with drugs until age 16, after which cross-sex hormones may be given. An analysis of the 38 youth referrals for gender dysphoria to the Pediatric Endocrinology Clinic at the University School of Medicine in Indianapolis, showed that more than half had psychiatric and/or developmental comorbidities.  It’s time to stop using children as experiments. Without sufficient research and consensus on treatment of children diagnosed with gender dysphoria, and knowing over half have co-existing disorders, any invasive treatment, even if recommended by the current guidelines, is simply an experiment. It’s time to stop using children as experiments!

“More than 50 percent had active suicidal thoughts and 45 percent had had a major depressive episode.”

Thus Aristotle’s observation in The Politics: “Demosthenes was a happier man than a pit bull with two peters.”

Well, that’s because they are mentally ill with a tendency to harm themselves. If a girl cuts herself or starves herself, you get her help to get her to stop. If a guy decides that he wants a vaj, we are told to celebrate “her” courage or face sanctions.
