Yes I know, it's old news. But thinking back on it made me wonder, have our standards of courage really stooped so low as to suggest that promoting bodily mutilation is heroic?
Considering that there's no real disparity in the rates of attempted suicide for transgenders before and after *** reassignment (over 40%), and that there's a high percentage of transgenders who go on to later regret surgery (over 20%), it makes me wonder how a man like Caitlynn Jenner can be put on such a high pedestal for advocating an irresponsible solution for a mental illness. :erm:
I'm sorry to say, but injecting a transgender with hormones and mutilating their sexual organs does not improve their quality of life, and in many cases it just makes their life all the worse. Advocating *** reassignment is the same as encouraging someone with schizophrenia not to seek treatment or therapy, that instead it's better to allow them to live a life of make believe. Which is just ridiculous.
And I'm not saying that someone who's trana must be restricted from doing such a thing, I believe everyone is entitled to make their own decisions, regardless of how dumb they may be. But we should be looking for reasonable solutions to decrease the epidemic of trans suicides in the United States. When someone is diagnosed as being bipolar, the correct response is to prescribe them with lithium and schedule therapy so that they can live a better life, Gender Dysphoria should be treated similarly. That is all.
