20-30 years ago if you walked into your doctors office and asked for your genitals to be fillet and tucked inside your body to create a vagina or asked for your vagina to be sewn up and molded into a penis they would have committed you for evaluation....
I hope they get the help they need and not some liberal support group ready to put them under the scalpel.

I think deep down, most Christians are very unhappy and regret their decision to be Christians, but will deny, deny, deny it to keep it hidden.
See how that works?
Christians can change their minds ... they don't have to deal with deep remorse over body mutilation.
See how that works ?
But that would make the religion look bad, so the Christian organizations hide it.
As a matter of fact, I think you are very unhappy being a Christian, but you are being forced to suppress it by the Christian community.

That's not true. I know a trans person who got the surgery 40 years ago.
I hope they get the help they need and not some liberal support group ready to put them under the scalpel.
And what help is that?

I know several trans people, and none of them regret their transition. Their only source of pain comes from the narrow-minded family, friends and co-workers who refuse to accept them.

There will always be people practicing some sort of fringe medicine...I'm sure I can find a witch doctor to anything I want in the guise of a medical procedure....
Psychiatric help....what other help do you think they need?

If this thread can make just one parent or trans think about their choices a little more, than its done its job.
Regret Isn’t Rare: The Dangerous Lie of Sex Change Surgery’s Success by Walt Heyer within Sexuality June 17th, 2016Stop enabling the delusion that transition is the only answer. Allow scientific research to flourish, no matter what the results show. Look at the evidence and facts and encourage treatment options that address dangerous psychiatric conditions first.
We have been told sex reassignment surgery is successful. The advocates say that regret is rare, and that 98 percent of surgeries are successful. While that figure might be true for surgical complications, before we accept a narrative of surgical success we should consider the evidence. To evaluate success or failure, we need to go beyond the mechanical skill of the surgeon to examine the emotional and psychological wholeness of the patient afterwards—and not just in the first few months, but in the years to come.
Transgender advocates have worked to create a false narrative, hoodwinking the world into believing that no one ever has regrets from a surgical change of gender. They say the transgender ideology they promote is harmless, safe, even beneficial. But what happens when we dismiss the rhetoric, look at the research, and apply basic critical thinking? We see the reports of success fade and those of regret rise.

So perhaps the reason many transgendered get so depressed is not so much to do with bullying and non acceptance but a regret they didn't accept their original bodies more.

This is why surgeons should never do this to children under 16, let alone anyone else. how do the parents of these children feel once this operation is complete?
poor children being totally brainwashed, manipulated and groomed from an early age.
This has to stop.

Ha - caught you in a lie and this is your lame response.

What makes you think people with gender dysphoria don't get psychiatric help? Shows just how little you know about it. They must have YEARS of counseling and therapy before having the sex change operation. They have to be approved by someone in the mental health profession before the surgery can happen.
