Should Gender Reassignment Surgery (GRS) Be Banned or Severely Curtailed?

Then it violates the Hippocratic oath.

As a first resort, I agree. As a last resort, I don't think it does.

If one goes on the notion that society isn’t supposed to encourage mentally ill people to harm themselves then GRS is essentially a modern day lobotomy. It’s a method of mechanically treating a mental illness.

IMHO it's a gross abuse of modern medicine and an improper treatment for folks who really need the help of a mental health professional, not some surgeon looking to make money.

I think the surgical treatment of gender dysphonia should be banned in the US for anyone under 18 just for starters and a very deep dive taken into the mental health of a adult wanting such a procedure.

I also think it should be left to the various states and their state medical boards to decide if GRS is kosher or not. No need to involve the feds.

So you are proposing that little babies not be given circumcision since it doesn't provide any benefits but tribal cult identity?

Nice try Skippy.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) found that the health benefits of newborn male circumcision outweigh the risks.

* Less risk of urinary tract infections

• A reduced risk of some sexually transmitted diseases in men
• Protection against penile cancer and a lower risk of cervical cancer in female sex partners
• Prevention of balanitis (inflammation of the glans) and balanoposthitis (inflammation of the glans and foreskin)
• Prevention of phimosis (the inability to retract the foreskin) and paraphimosis (the inability to return the foreskin to its original location)

* Circumcision also makes it easier to keep the end of the penis clean.

Actually, the suicide rate is the result of their being subjected to relentless bigotry, ridicule, and rejection and being told that they are mentally ill and just need to get over it.

And their willing adoption of professional victimhood status.

Sounds like a boatload of bizarre bovine excrement to me. And what does it have to do with trans people?

What a charming way to say you don't have a clue.

I don't have a clue? Show us the science that says the two women can produce a child on their own. And you people have the temerity to call liberals science deniers!!

There is no science that says two women can produce a child on their own.

Suggest a remedial reading class for you. Throw in a refresher on critical thinking as well.

What if one of them decides to identify as a man”, undergoes all the relevant hormone treatments, surgeries, and other quasi-medical Frankensteinery?

If “he” is now really a man, then “he”, along with the woman who chooses to remain a woman, should now be able to produce a child together, right?

No shit !! But it sure sounds like you believe that there is in your post 5

You really can't tell he was being sarcastic and leading her on?

Maybe one day technology will exist to fuse two eggs into an embryo, but it's not today.

Says the side that can say with a straight face "women can have penises"

 

[Dogmaphobe]

It should not be banned for adults.

Anybody performing it on a minor should be placed behind bars for a long, long time.
