Transgendered man to woman now, I'll call her a trans-faker, just to displease Once Dear if nothing else. Ha. If convicted will definitely insist on being put in a woman's prison, I have to think https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/30/nyregion/how-did-a-two-time-killer-get-out-to-be-charged-again-at-age-83.html I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

Dr SOOPOO has been involved with (dozens?) of sex reassignment surgeries. We had a very few partners who would refuse to be involved. I have always felt that it was just an informed consent issue. Although the concept is really difficult to wrap my head around, if the consenting adult wants this done then I am 100% ok with it. Frankly, from an anesthesia standpoint, they were amongst my easiest cases. Tended to be young healthy patients having long surgeries not involving ‘important’ parts (physiologically) like heart, brain, liver, etc…. Generally little blood loss as well! My younger son just got married. One of his bridesmaids was a male friend of his in college. Why do anything to limit her happiness? With few exceptions, why not accept her as a she? (I make the exception for most sports, where birth gender confers an advantage to biological males). |

| odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5105 | most of us agree with this I think, Soopoo, though I for one like to leave much of it out of my own life as much as possible on the other hand, there is evidence very young people with mere anxiety about life are being led down a dubious path ... being told they have this anxiety because they were born female but really were supposed to be a guy.* 9 years old and stuff like that. Of course, all that is needed to come across boatloads of such advice is access to the internet. I hate to say it, but I suspect certain medical operations as viewing it as an outlet for advocacy ... and even just to make a buck * the most typical situation, I am told I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

I extend “lead down a dubious path” to all sorts of groups. I don’t think a parent forcing a kid into “homosexual cure camp” is good either. Or taking their kids to a Jim jones style cult in a remote area. Or raising them in a polygamous sect in Utah. Or becoming a billion year slave in Scientology. Even if I had the power to prevent all that happening, should I be able to as a non-parent of some random kid? You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

| rquiredusername Member since: Jan 25, 2022 Threads: 0 Posts: 343 | Just curious. Are sex reassignment surgeries, hormones frequently covered by health insurance policies? If so I kinda have more than a bit of a problem with everyone else’s insurance subsidizing what amount to lifestyle choices. But I guess no more of a problem than I have subsidizing sugar/carb addiction or smokers, all lifestyle choices subsidized by those making more responsible choices on the average. |

I have always wondered how a doctor can do this operation and not violate "first, do no harm." As to "limit happiness" there are a few problems. A big one is what is the long-term "happiness?" The trans community does anything to stop the stories about how the depression these people often have. Instead of treating the mental issues the mental issues the current thinking seems to be bring out the scalpel. But it is like a person who is depressed saying they will move to a new city. If other underlying issues are not taken care of they are just depressed in a new city, but depressed worse since they now know nobody there. I continue to maintain that there is a bigger issue of male problems. The sheer imbalance of MTF vs FTM operations says something is wrong with our men. Instead of so many operations we should be looking closer at this. We will not be better as a society with more and more men walking around thinking they are women. The President is a fink. |

Damnit Soopoo, you are always so informed, well spoken, and polite on controversial topics. Do you not understand how these forums work? At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

| odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5105 | yep, that's me. Is it just me? Maybe, though I have to tell you the most woke people I know might put on a show of acceptance, "see how virtuous I am as long as it's the in thing?" ... meanwhile gossiping like hell about it with seeming disapproval like hell amongst those they trust. and others Yes.
