The truth about transgender surgery... in numbers: Just 16% of gender dysphoria patients go through with the operation, but up to half suffer life-threatening complications
UK Daily Mail ^ | June 3 2023 | CAITLIN TILLEY

Only a small number of people with gender dysphoria have surgery to align their bodies with their desired sex — but the rate of complications is high.

One of the largest surveys of trans adults earlier this year indicated that one in six (16 percent) go under the knife to alter their physical appearance.

But research suggests that up to half of trans men and women suffer post-op issues or pain so severe they need medical attention or additional surgery months later.

Who pays for the pre op, op and post op?

Do the idiot patients pay or do we as tax payers?

Thanks.

If they don’t commit suicide then they are usually sterile so it seems to be a non-perpetuating problem.

1. Some Medicaid programs pay for the surgery
2. Is is shocking. If you have your schlong cut off you have pain especially when they stuff tissue inside to create a cave where there wasn’t one.
3. Then after the cut it off they slide fun bags into your chest.

Every erogenous zone which means there are a whole lotta nerve endings meets a knife and a bovie. Go F*cking figure. It hurts. Where the hell do these people come from?

I believe that is referred to as the silver lining. However I do believe there should be a prohibition from these good people of adoption.

I believe that the medical insurance available to members of the military (so, we pay for), provides all of the possible gender altering treatments and surgeries. This is part of why the military is so attractive for the perverted gender-confused types.

So of the %16 that go through half of those have life threatening complications. What other elective surgery would be legal with that kind of record? Especially when you are talking about kids. Evil pure evil

Yes, you’re right! Especially considering how high a percentage of “successful” operations have regrets, and would later change their mind if they had been left alone (not operated on).

It’s actually kind of sad. I heard male detransioner talk about waking up with morning stump, if you know what I mean. They don’t quite get it all. It is a steep price to pay for some social notoriety as a teen.

We all pay for the Great Society. The result is no fathers. We pay for the jails as a result. That means more government. Very smart.

Jazz, the TV star, had his unit cut off and now his female “gash” keeps closing up which is what wounds are supposed to do.

If these freaks don’t keep dilating the gash it will seal and no more fun.

Another thing they can blame on God.

“...so it seems to be a non-perpetuating problem.”

This is why they must convert other people’s children. It’s like someone who got a tattoo they’re really unhappy with. They try to talk others into getting a tattoo so they don’t feel so weird about it. These are very selfish people. They can’t leave the rest of the people alone. They must force you to make the same mistake, again, so they won’t feel so badly about their own mistakes.

I read a quote from someone who “transitioned.” He said he was shocked to find they were now doing it to children. He said he almost died several times. He had a stroke. It was anything but easy or safe. He felt lied to by the doctors. Then he implied he was happy with the way it had turned out. My understanding is that every night a former man would need to insert a plug to stop the “female” opening from “healing.” A doctor was quoted as saying that one thing patients were never told was that if the transition either way was made before the patient went through puberty then they would NEVER achieve sexual satisfaction.

Think, just ten years ago what is now the new normal would have been child abuse for which anyone involved would have potentially gone to prison.

It's bizarre to think that they're trying to normalize the Bobbitt experience.

Remarkably similar to cancer.

I suspect the doctors aren't explaining all the side effects - and the parents are nuts. Oh yeah, and we need to boycott Disney, Target and Budweiser FOREVER.

BACKING THE TRANS/CHILDREN MOVEMENT IS EVIL.
