Finally! Its high time that people put aside their constitutionally protected religious beliefs to practice Mengele Medicine. I hope the follow up lawsuit forces all hospital staff to inject themselves with HIV positive blood to prevent transgender discrimination.

Mengele Medicine? Hardly. They just mutilate your johnson with surgical precision, forming the area into an open wound that continually tries to heal up and close itself. Nothing Mengele-esque about that...hurrrr *dry heaves*

Hmm... who could be behind this? Let's find out

The ACLU really needs to change their name. They are pretty anti-civil liberties when it gets down to it.

[TheReal_ND]

The eternal ACLU! Democrats are at it again.

Doesn't transgender surgery go against the mantra of "Do No Harm?"

[TheReal_ND]

Yes

Well, that's a road that I probably shouldn't travel down at work again... But I had to know.

In male to female surgery, the testicles and most of the penis are removed and the urethra is cut shorter. Some of the skin is used to fashion a largely functional vagina. A "neoclitoris" that allows sensation can be created from parts of the penis. Men retain their prostates.

In female to male surgery, the breasts, uterus and ovaries are removed (in two separate procedures). A "neophallus" can be constructed using tissue from the forearm or other parts of the body that allows sexual sensation, an expensive procedure. Extending the urethra to allow standing urination has proved to be perhaps the most difficult part of the process, Bowers said.

I don't think there's any possible way that those people feel 'normal' after that.

A 2o11 study of 324 Swedish transsexuals by the Karolinska Institute showed that "after sex reassignment, [they] have considerably higher risks for mortality, suicidal behaviour, and psychiatric morbidity than the general population. Our findings suggest that sex reassignment, although alleviating gender dysphoria, may not suffice as treatment for transsexualism, and should inspire improved psychiatric and somatic care after sex reassignment for this patient group."

Oh, I guess they don't.

What is so important about this particular hospital performing this operation? Surely there are many hospitals that would be ok with doing the procedure. Why is it so important that the Catholic hospital do it?
