Girls to Guys -- It's on the Rise

Mental Illness is an illness, and maybe God did create that. But this nonsense about "sexual identity" is BS.. Look down the front of your pants, the answer should be obivous. Sexual Orientation is a matter of choice. Sexual Identity is not. Nice Try.

Before a patient is permitted to take the hormones, they (or their guardians, if they are underage)

Shouldn't this wait until somebody is at LEAST 18 years of age?!

[lds23]

OH, what a tangled web we weave, when ourselves we set out to deceive.

[Dimensio]

Sexual Orientation is a matter of choice.

Are you saying that you could choose to be attracted to persons of the same gender if you wanted to? Try doing it for 24 hours -- don't worry about acting on the attraction, just try to have the attraction.

Sexual Identity is not.

What medical credentials do you have that enables you to make such a statement?

[Don Myers]

Yes, it is on the rise. Every perversion known to mankind is on the rise in our society.

[Eternal_Bear]

Blame it on "Lola" the old Kinks' song about a transexual:^)

[Harrison Bergeron]

By liberal PC logic, if I bang my head on the bedpost and wake up tomorrow thinking I'm invisible, then the law should permit me to go to work or walk around the mall naked to better express my true inner invisible self. The TV show "Soap" parodied this very idea twenty years ago, and nobody got it.

"The gray-haired plastic surgeon has been doing sexual reassignment surgery in The City for more than 20 years. He has done hundreds of mastectomies and metoidioplasties -- the transformation of external female genitals into male (see inset)"

Thank you for not providing the "inset". The mind recoils.

I'm certain you'll be able to set Him straight on any number of things. He'll appreciate it so much, I'm sure. Maybe He will make you god - or maybe you've already taken care of that, too.

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

(s)he's a lesbian - - - your point?

[jla]

Maybe he/she wouldn't have needed surgery if god hadn't screwed up and stuck him/her in the wrong model body in the first place.

Well, one-wiser-than-God...which is it?

[Dimensio]

(s)he's a lesbian - - - your point?

You stated that the story "proves that lesbians want to be men". You made a generalization on the basis of a single story; that's called a hasty generalization.

[Antoninus]

Oh yeah, this is normal...

"Maybe he/she wouldn't have needed surgery if god hadn't screwed up and stuck him/her in the wrong model body in the first place."

There, there...that's a good liberal.....

Blame everything, or anything, for problems that one is too afraid to admit is all their own doing....

"God...screwed up" - -- - Oh Pull-ease....

There is most assuredly something "Screwed Up" with this....but leave God out of it. Every human is allowed choices thoughout their life, even if those choices are made from outside influence (parents, friends, etc...), once those choices are made....be human enough to admit it....no matter the outcome(s).

I think the haircuts, the clothing, and the behavior says more than this article ever could.

Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola

[Dimensio]

I think the haircuts, the clothing, and the behavior says more than this article ever could.

Therefore lesbians who act in the fashion you describe want to be men?

A dubious conclusion, but that still leaves out lesbians who do not have sterotypical haircuts, clothing or behaviour.
