"There was no medical reason that this decision had to be made at this time."


I recall in my gender studies class spending almost a full month investigating case studies like this. I recall that most studies seem to converge that "its generally easier to remove things than add them on" even though gender identification is influenced most heavily by genetics. The kid will be fine, if not confused for a while. There is absolutely no reason why genitals should influence what that child feels about himself (assuming from the article, that is what he wishes to be identified with).


You spent a month studying cases like this and your conclusion is that the kid will be fine? Holy shit that's insensitive.

Why don't you get your penis surgically removed and give it to this kid? Oh yea.. because that would be crazy, stupid, and make you feel like shit about yourself.

"hey girl I like you and want to normal like my peers, but I don't have a penis, is that OK?" *girl is horrified and walks away*

This kid's life and long term happiness has been severely damaged.

You're trying to carry on a conversation from almost a year ago just so you know.
