Every Transsexual's Right to GCS

Post Reply New Topic

You should add those sneaky trans people are really Martians, and Martian physiology is well-known to be unisex, so SRS does not even make sense!

At best your side has sociology as its source.


You knew the direction this thread would go when you started it.

I wish I could get my tattoos removed on the NHS.

This is shameful. You didn't even bother to read the sources I presented. Either that, or you didn't understand them. Either way, there's nothing more I can do here.



You betcha I did.

Well, I didn't say that they should be banished to an island or anything.

But, anyway, these folks obviously have a very steep uphill battle. If it were me, I'd be saving my pennies and trying to schedule a trip to Bangkok. But, they don't want to hear about that, so I don't know. It was hard enough just to pass Obamacare. Probably no-one in the government wants to open this particular can of worms.

The DAB doesn't seem to have any qualms about it:

There was also that directive in Connecticut:

Yes, I have to agree. The wisest course of action would be to start saving up even if it means having it done in Bangkok or wherever else. They're not going to get their way in this country in the foreseeable future.

In case this is too dense to read, here's the ruling in plain terms:

Hello my fellow connoisseur of the SEA beauties. Now, are you planning on explaining to us exactly how you're comparing wrinkles to a medical state that routinely drives people to suicide?

Cause if not, it was an awfully silly thing to say, wasn't it? That said, if I had this problem, I'd go to Thailand, leave my man parts alone, and become a kathoey.

Of course, I noticed Raptor has nothing to comment on decisions made under duress as he's got nothing as per usual.

Well, okay. If current medical opinion is that this is a medical necessity to treat gender identity disorder, then fine.

I suppose that excessive worry about wrinkles could also make a face-lift a medical necessity--as long as there were medical opinions to back it up.

I don't understand gender dysphoria.

If you are a female in a male body, then why do you need hormone treatment to make you become female?

If you already feel female, then surely you should already have those hormones.

Please excuse my ignorance.

Potentially. Personally myself, rather than resorting to these crazy surgeries and hormone treatments, I'd be one to suggest that we, as a society, help these people with gender dysphoria to appreciate and accept themselves as they are. A male body that acts like a female inside, there's nothing wrong with that and they shouldn't be lead to feel that they need to change themselves. But that's not the society they're in, hence the desire to transition.

We cannot speak in generalities with regards to trans people, because they vary with regard to their condition, and in the severity of their gender dysphoria.

Transsexuality to me means when I was young I knew I was a girl, and then male hormones made me lose my mind, and become an angry, unstable, misfit that developed persistent, and secret thoughts of wishing I was a girl.

Once I lost my mind, I never felt I was a girl - all I had were these thoughts of wanting to be a girl. Later I would realize that the brain had formed two personalities: the original, and the fake male one that helped me survive.

The female hormones minimized the persistant thoughts, and wishes. My brain would feel better - like a re-integration was happening. My original personality slowly developed. One day I woke up and the persistant thoughts and wishes were gone and my brain had finally aligned with who I am. The original personality had control of the body! I talk like a girl now! When I wake up I am me! The happiness is beyond perhaps anything you will experience.

This is likely way beyond the comprehension of most people, so that is why trans-hate exists.

Well, most of us here do have our problems.

Agree, that the DSM & trans community seems to have a one-track mind that transition is the only answer.

I wrote about this on the LGBT thread that "partial transition" is not in the DSM, so it does not exist.

However, my brain needs some estrogen or I get Gender Dysphoria, and many trans woman report this, and society does not appear tolerant of hybrid-people e.g., men with boobs and long hair ?

At a job in 2002-2004 I was yelled at by co-workers for NOT TRANSITIONING and showing up as a male with long hair that talked like a girl. I was told I am "agent Smith from the Matrix who impersonates someone". I had to go to my boss to stop the personal attacks. The woman really did not like that I was doing this. They felt that since I talked like a girl, had long hair, and looked very close to being a girl, then I should not be presenting myself as male.

I was entertainment for them to see the guy who talked like a girl. At the Christmas party the relatives would be there, and I would hear commentary about my situation which meant my co-workers were sharing my plight with their spouses. Sometimes the relatives would call me directly just to hear me.

Also, I do think full-transition has to be an option for some.
