'He complains that doctors did not warn him of the drastic outcome of the body-altering surgery which has left him infertile, incontinent and feeling like a ‘sexual eunuch’.

Not much euphoria, then?

I know people like to claim that the doctors are pushing this for the money, and there's probably more than a bit of truth to that. But seeing how utterly nuts the troons get when they don't get instantly accommodated in their every demand, how they'll just rain crazy all over someone's career and personal life for the "crime" of denying their reality? Well, if I were that doctor, I'd smile and give them what they demand. Fuck having everything I put years or decades of effort into tanked because some gender-bent nutter with a maggot in their brain decides that surgery is actually magic and can give them real boy/girl parts instead of merely cosmetic fakes.

And, of course, he lays all of the blame on everyone else for his problems now and none for himself.

I mean I do think it's sad that if that's the case the doctors can't do their jobs and give their patients the most realistic options on the results.

That and looking at an article about Tavistock not too long ago they push for it to a disturbing extent. There was a girl that liked Thomas and hated periods and therefore she was trans.

Exactly.

They should be able to allow detransitioners to sue, but at the same time, there should also be the "careful what you wish for, you just might get it" clause: if the doctor/parents can prove, conclusively, the detransitioner threatened suicide if the doctor did not let them transition, then it should count as the people being threatened into doing it and those people should not be held liable.

The doctors who do this kind of very specialized surgery aren't doing it reluctantly. Some of it is money but I think they're mostly Frankensteins who want dolls to practice on.

Being a eunuch is the whole point of having your balls removed. I don't know what he expected.

Did he really not know the potential repercussions of getting your junk cut off? I'd say this is more on him than anyone else. The doctors didn't force him into the procedure and its one of those things in life that you want to be really, REALLY sure you're ready to go through with before you actually go and do it.

More and more, real life is turning into an extended South Park episode.

I think the way they talk about sex hormones means they think they are all about being masculine or feminine when in reality the right levels keep your body healthy all round.

I mean to be fair you expect your doctor to tell you about the risks. Like they're the experts so I would think that any possible issues would be mentioned so that you can assess the risk yourself. If it's not being mentioned do you know all the issues that might come from it? You should trust the doctor to be telling you everything you need to know. If someone is only being told by their doctor that this will help them can you blame them for listening?

I'm not saying he's not an idiot. Just that the doctors should absolutely be mentioning all risks.

There are troons who think their dicks are clits and vice versa, so why are you surprised?

This is all extreme magical thinking mixed with repackaged hippie shit.

They reduce being male/female to "muh gendered soul" and think straight/gay people feel sexual attraction based on this gendered soul, not actual material reality.

It's no wonder they're so deluded to think that a few shots of cross sex hormones will make them the opposite sex, this is the basis of the whole ideology.

its tempting to be contemptuous of these guys, but they've realized their mistake and can help others realize it before they mutilate themselves. They should be given acceptance and empathy. Just my opinion.
