Except Trans men that don't have GRS can still get pregnant unless taking blockers/HRT. For some, that's fine and for others, that's a huge dysphoric thing, hence the surgery and HRT.
Doesn't make them less men because physically their body doesn't match the gender they are.
Oh Bullshit.
I've tried to stay out of this, but it just gets so ridiculous.
Every single cell in the body has an XX or an XY chromosone, that is what makes you male or female, whether you are talking about sex or gender. And cutting up your genitals doesn't change that.
If your head doesn't agree, then your head needs some work.
What other mental illness is treated by cutting off body parts?
In 200 years the way we treat trans will be viewed in the same way we today view bleeding to treat various diseases.....idiotic, seriously counter-productive, and ignorant.
Now, that said, I have no faith in psychiatry either. And if you want to indulge in some body mutilation upon yourself as an adult, be my guest. If you are a person that wants to dress and live as the opposite sex, feel free......none of my business.
But if anyone tried to do hormone/surgical alterations to my child, it would be over my dead body.
It would be my absolute duty as a father.
And the father in the case that set this thread off should ignore the court order, speak to his daughter, publicize what has been done to him, and continue his resistance in every way possible.
And when they haul him into court and charge him with contempt of court, he could honestly tell them "Well, that is the first thing you've gotten right so far".
