I worked for years as the administrator of a very large plastic surgery practice in the Midwest. We had a patient who had undergone gender transition surgery in the Netherlands. The patient presented for removal and replacement of implants. After the appropriate evaluation, the patient received new implants. Post operatively, the patient became remorseful and very very depressed. They would come to the office and the staff would bring them back to my office to manage their complaint. The person would sit in my office bereft, not because the implant surgery did not go well, but because they had no sense of self and couldn’t find peace. After meeting with this person for several weeks, I convinced them to see a clinical psychologist because I couldn’t help them.

Gender dysphoria is a psychological construct and surgery/hormone therapy does not resolve the confusion - it just exacerbates it and destroys lives. I wonder if parents understand that they are sterilizing their children and denying them any sexual pleasure for the rest of their lives when they agree to let greedy medical doctors, who are unqualified to diagnose the problem let alone treat it (it’s not cancer for Christ’s sake), to use threats of suicide to manipulate these parents into butchering their children. I’ve seen it first hand and it’s straight out of a Josef Mengele horror story.
