More than half a century of emotional pain came to an end when Janice Carney opened her eyes on the morning of Feb. 25, 2001, in a Colorado hospital.
Carney, born John Joseph Carney, vividly remembers waking up on her 51st birthday, after eight hours of surgery, and seeing her best friend holding a birthday cake with a single candle on it.
"It was the beginning of my new life," Carney says.
A surgeon removed Carney's male genitalia, which Carney describes as "toxic waste," and reshaped the tissue to medically turn Carney from male to female.

Altering reality to suit the mentally disturbed, rather than aiding the mentally disturbed to accept reality.

reshaped the tissue to medically turn Carney from male to femaleChange the word "medically" to "genetically" to see how ridiculous this statement is.

"A surgeon removed Carney's male genitalia, which Carney describes as "toxic waste"..." It seems to me he traded in a few inches of toxic waste for an entire Love Canal....

Carney is looking for a long-term relationship, with a woman. The man born a woman inside loves women.
Must not have enough coffee yet. It got turned into a woman so It could be a lesbian....

Altering reality to suit the mentally disturbed, rather than aiding the mentally disturbed to accept reality. Imagine how possessed a person would have to be to do that.

It got turned into a woman so It could be a lesbian.... How else could it turn out?
No normal man wants a relationship with a mutilated man. Mr. Carney can take all the drugs he wants, wear dresses, whatever ... still, he's not a woman. He's a mutilated man.
Gay guys are unlikely to be interested ... they want guys who look like guys. If they didn't, they wouldn't be queer.
So what's left?
Lesbians.
Pathetic.

It’s not a matter of coffee. It’ll take something a lot stronger before that even begins to make sense.
