Is that finally mutilation or does this only apply to gender reassignment surgery? You take puberty blockers until a final decision is made to transition, after which I believe one goes on hormone therapy, and finally if they so choose, surgery to reassign the gender. Now the arguments you have made so far have only been for how the surgery could be thought of as mutilation, and that part isn't happening to small children so my original point stands. |
"Because they are not as neutral as they wanted to appear, as I stated."
this entails that they are leaning towards a position, what do you believe that position to be?
do you believe yourself to be neutral?
"Don't really know what to say here, some people put gigantic gauges in their ears. Is that finally mutilation or does this only apply to gender reassignment surgery?"
does this cause significant damage or deformation to the ear?
"You take puberty blockers until a final decision is made to transition"
suppose they decide to not transition?
lets say its a boy and their penis hasn't developed, will he be stuck with an undeveloped penis for life?
"after which I believe one goes on hormone therapy, and finally if they so choose, surgery to reassign the gender."
fair enough, but wouldn't it just be easier though to fix the underlying psychological issue though since its a social construct?
" Now the arguments you have made so far have only been for how the surgery could be thought of as mutilation, and that part isn't happening to small children so my original point stands."
well I was just offering my opinion as to why the other user may have used the word "mutilation"
