Gender Denying Mutilation

When you read this you keep thinking that it cannot be true. And then you ask yourself why it has not been reported more widely. 

We know, without much reflection, that transgenderism is basically a belief, and nothing more than a belief. It is a lie, one that we are being forced to accept, regardless of our judgment and regardless of reality.

Obviously, the revolt against BudLight and Dylan Mulvaney is one way that people vote against the madness, madness that disrespects their judgment and that defies reality.

At some point we are going to wake up and wonder: what were we thinking? Medical and paramedical professionals are allowed to tell the parents of small children that if they do not give them puberty blockers, the children will commit suicide. There ought to be a law against such psycho abuse. In some places there is. Good for them.

And then we turn on the television and hear some earnest talking head speak about gender affirming care. Such care, as more and more evidence has shown, has nothing to do with affirming anything. It allows people to live their delusional beliefs, and to undergo surgery that will leave them mutilated for life. 

Most importantly, efforts to transform a penis into a vagina or a vagina into a penis have consistently and notably failed. For that reason, most of those who suffer from the trans delusion do not have the surgery done.

The Daily Mail reports the studies that have been done-- there have been many-- and we can only conclude that the outcomes of the surgery are so disgusting that news outlets respect the delicate sensibilities of their readers by ignoring them.

As for the surgeries themselves, the number of participants is very small indeed, around 16%:

Only a small number of people with gender dysphoria have surgery to align their bodies with their desired sex — but the rate of complications is high.

One of the largest surveys of trans adults earlier this year indicated that one in six (16 percent) go under the knife to alter their physical appearance.

As for the outcomes, the story is grim:

But research suggests that up to half of trans men and women suffer post-op issues or pain so severe they need medical attention or additional surgery months later.

How many responsible physicians continue to perform a procedure that leaves so much pain and suffering in its wake?

The complex operations involve crafting the genitalia of the opposite sex using veins, arteries, muscles and skin from other body parts. The surgeries are risky due to surgeons having to connect delicate and complicated networks of blood vessels, as well as creating the ability to urinate.

For trans men, devices are often implanted to allow them to achieve erections and more enjoyable sexual experiences.

Patients are often left with infections, pain and difficulty using the toilet or having sex post-surgery.

Now, a study performed by the National Institutes of Health suggested that many of those who had undergone the surgery were happy with it. At that point, you should recognize that the NIH has squandered its remaining credibility.

The truth lies elsewhere:

A large study last year found more than a third of penis implant procedures to give an erection had complications so bad further surgery was required.

 

Nine months after the procedure, more than a fifth of patients had had their devices removed, either due to infection or mechanical failures.

Some 67 of the prosthetic penises were inflatable, and 13 were semirigid.

An inflatable implant involves a silicone pump inserted into the scrotum, which can be squeezed to generate an erection. 

As for what happens to men who want to be surgically transformed into females, the results are discouraging. The same is true of women who want to become men:

John Hopkins University found that up to 30 percent of transgender women who have had a vaginoplasty suffered an infection linked to the operation.  

Some surgeons use a method called penile inversion, where they will cut between the rectum and the urethra and prostate. This creates a tunnel that turns into the new vagina.

The most common top surgery among trans men is chest masculinization in the form of a double mastectomy, where the breasts are removed.

Delicate and intricate bottom surgeries are also available, including a phalloplasty which uses a piece of tissue known as a flap, usually taken from the forearm or thigh, to construct a penis.

Of course, more than a few transitioners have now chosen to detransition. They did not understand what the surgery would really do to them.

'It is quite clear from the most up-to-date studies that vaginoplasty and other genital surgeries don’t work in the way that people hope they will,' said Stella O'Malley, psychotherapist and director of campaign group Genspect.

'The reason why there is so many problems is because this is an incredibly difficult surgery. Young vulnerable people need to know about the challenges they will face post surgery but few of them do.'

As gender-affirming surgery becomes more popular, an increasing number of 'detransitioners' who regret having the irreversible procedure have come forward.

I will spare you further details. The most amazing part of the national conversation about transgenderism is that many people believe that the problem lies in-- pronouns. If only we call people by their selected pronouns these surgical problems will disappear. One does not want to contemplate how stupid one needs to be to accept such reasoning, but it is commonplace across America today. It might not be a majority opinion, but it is accepted among the intelligentsia.

Go figure.
