In the paper today a transgender lived as a women for a decade before embarking on gender reassignment surgery worth 10k on the NHS.
But less than two years after he began the physical transition from a man to a women he changed his mind and now wants to become a man again.
He reckons gender reassignment surgeries are offered too readily by the NHS, without adequate psychological evaluation.
He wants to warn other young people to think very seriously about the mental and physical consequences before proceeding.
What's your _iews |

Maybe, before starting surgery, they should start him on the other parts of being a woman. All that washing and ironing would certainly put me off.
Besides, when I see a hair, I only wonder whether I can grow it long enough to comb it over my bald head, plucking would be a total anathema to me!
Seriously, one man's mistake shouldn't be used as an excuse to discriminate against others.

He reckons he couldn't cope with hormones. Gave him mood instability, depression and anxiety.
Plus he thought.. No matter how much make-up he wore or how he dressed, he knew people wouldn't see him as a real women.
I thought he looked good  |

Given the struggle I've seen trans girls go through just to get the hormones with the nhs that's bullocks.
2 years of "real life test" before they'll do anything as well. |

"Why should the tax payer have to pay anyway"
Why should the tax payer pay for anything if you want to use that argument.
Especially anything heart, liver or joint related in fat people, or anything for anyone who had not lead an impeccably healthy life style?
Especially sport injuries definitely shouldn't pay for those.
Given the tiny amount of trans people and that according to those stats you could do 5 trans operations for the cost of one alcoholics liver op, seems a good deal.

Sounds like he's trying to absolve himself of the responsibility for his decision. The NHS is not in the habit of throwing money away willy nilly. On the contrary, people often have to fight for years for these procedures!
The fact that he had lived as a woman for a decade is pretty good evidence that it's was what he wanted, plus I'm certain he would have had some counselling regarding risks of treatment and possible outcomes. |

Gender dysphoria is a well recognised and highly debilitating condition. Patients who have it are as entitled to treatment as much as anyone with a broken leg or pneumonia, for example. |

He spent 10 years living as a women, had gender re-assignment surgery and now want reasignment back to male and have gone to the papers about it.
That says more about their mental health (and I say that with every compassion) than a shortcoming of the NHS |

Trans people don't pay tax?  "
So should we blame the deficit on these tax dodging Trans people? Or on the politicians for giving them all these tax breaks in the first place?????
Do trans people get some kind of special card that they can show in shops so they don't have to pay VAT? |

Being fat isn't either but we have to pay for the complications as well as spending millions getting equipment to deal with people so heavy they don't fit on or break the ordinary beds.
Why should a hospital have to pay for and transport, tying up an ambulance that could be dealing with a real emergency, to lug a fat person to a zoo so they can have a scan on on the only machine big enough? |

Good point well made
Actually many people suffer from illnesses that cause them to overeat (which I don't do incidentally, because my inability to walk was caused by a transport accident, and the constant pain I'm in hinders strenuous exercise, and before this I was always a very healthy never having smoking individual who attended aqua aerobics weekly) besides which i've been paying tax on my earnings since I was 16 and a regular hospital bed and ambulance is fine for me
But I do understand the point yes
But like I said
Not having a child doesn't constitute an illness
Ana wanting different genitalia doesn't either
That's the way it is to me
I'm not arguing with you about it

No they don't there are one or two fantastically rare conditions where people are unable to feel full or other nervous issues but there is no common over eating symptom.

Not being able to walk simply means your bmr will be lower as such your required food intake dropped but you kept eating the same.
fat isn't caused by lack of excercise it's simply caused by eating more than you use.

Side effect of injecting a load of testosterone compounds is without certain medications is you end up with lots of oestrogen, oestrogen causes the body to start growing Breast tissue (not fat, as in the normal overweight man boobs but actual best tissue), gynomastoma, once this is too severe to be dealt with by medication only option is surgery to remove the tissue because as it's proper breast tissue it can't be dieted or exercised off
Poland being the normal place to go.
I remember one of the huge sted heads at my old gym used to lactate lol

Look
I am not an over eater
Anyone will tell you this
I don't give a ducks ass if you believe me because you're not my GP
I'm unable to walk much because I've got a broken patella bone
And surgery won't stop either the pain nor a replacement kneecap solve the issue
So you are wrong
And lots of medication can often cause changes in eating habits both up and down
But as I'm not on medication I'm not affected
So again you're wrong
And like I said
Needing a child or different genitalia isn't an illness
And take note
I'm still not arguing with you!

Then you have broken the laws of thermodynamics and have become a perpetual motion machine.
Or you're a plant and are creating carbohydrates from the air and sunlight.
Every bit of mass in your body you put in there through your mouth.
I know medication can cause people to over eat my medication has the top side effect as "excessive weight gain" which is one of the reasons I control my eating. |

You seem a bit misinformed. There are a whole host of hormonal and developmental conditions which can lead to gender disparity, many of which manifest before birth. Take the example of 'complete androgen insensitivity' where genetic males appear 100% female. |

Like the fact that fat is only gained if you eat more calories than you burn?
If you go swimming several times a week you probably then do more excercise than me.
And by your logic some diabetes isn't an illness simply the inability to produce insulin. |

Sad for them but many are happy with GRS, life as a transsexual is very harsh unless you are rich, just the way it is.
Have to agree though on how easy it is to have the op with a few tactical comments given to the gate keepers, i know a Transvestite on a fantasy trip and i will not be surprised if he will be the next shouting ohh what have they done to me!! |

Just because you can't see a persons illness, doesn't mean its false or any less important.
Many transgender suffer from depression and anxiety related disorders that directly relate to their mental conflictions. You may argue that depression doesn't automatically make a persons heart fail, but for the person suffering it? I'm pretty sure it god damn feels like it does.
So yes, gender reassignment should be as available on the NHS as any other treatment if there is evidence to support that it will improve a patients mental and physical well-being.
As others have mentioned, the NHS dishes out fertility treatment to women who want children - even though there are thousands of unwanted children needing adoption and loving parents, so why shouldn't something that can effectively change a persons mental health for the better be available?! |

Also OP - they are not 'a transgender', they are a transwoman, a transman or a transperson.
Calling someone 'a transgender' is like calling someone 'a cancer' or 'a gay'. It's just incorrect and a little insulting. |

Some food for thought...
Gender Dysphoria is a medical condition, people with this condition have choices to make, continue to hide their true self and suffer depression from it, which can and does lead to drug & alcohol related illness, or risk losing their friends & family and start out on the very long, very hard road towards surgery, and many of those who do just that, do not reach surgery because they find it too hard to go through all the obstacles and transphobia put in their way.
Did you know that 75% of all transgendered people think about ending their life at some stage?
Did you know that over 40% will actually attempt to end their life?
Shocking statistics that go a long way to proving that the NHS is 100% correct to carry out these surgeries.
The system is also clogged up, there are around 800 people per year going to their GP to seek a referral to a gender clinic, there are currently nearly 3000 on the NHS care pathway as it's called, and only about 150 surgeries per year.
Do the maths.
There is an overwhelming need for more surgeons, only 3 in this country carry out SRS, one of those is past retirement age too.
And yes, i also know that the NHS in general needs a lot more doctors,nurses and surgeons.
Someone quoted 'they should only be done privately' Are you having a fucking laugh? how many people can honestly afford that kind of money?
Medical condition = a right to NHS treatment, just like cancer is a medical condition, and broken limbs etc.
It's what sets this country apart from others, everybody regardless of nationality who lives in this country is entitled to NHS treatment, if you don't like that, then move abroad and pay through the nose for even simple things like having a couple of stitches for a cut! |

CLCC, god forbid, but if you got cancer would you expect treatment on the NHS?
I and many others pay my taxes and expect the NHS to be there if and when i need it, otherwise what's the point of National Insurance?

"I've suffered from severe depression resulting in 6 out of the last 8 YEARS in hospital and a nursing home
I still think that different genitalia doesn't need NHS finding I'm afraid
Not all people needing any surgery suffer from anything and many pay privately
So sorry
I'll not change my mind
Sorry xxx
Why is it ok to treat your depression but not mine?
I'm not justifying my opinion to you or anyone else
If you don't like it
Don't read it "

I have an opinion too; but I'll get another time-out if I say it here
Maybe if we were face-to-face (or tummy-to-tummy), I could shout it across |

What's the point of repeatedly stating your opinion and saying 'I have an opinion but I don't want to state it and engage with anybody' multiple times in a thread? |

Because that's what I want to do
No one will change my opinion
And I'm disinterested in arguments
So that's it really

To be perfectly honest, I'd rather not 
But please don't let me stop you with your repeat 'opinions'. For as they say, "it ain't over until the fat lady sings" |

I thought one of the points of the forum was to engage with people or build up a discussion/debate.
Clearly I was wrong, it's belligerency all the way.
Isn't the constant repetition of the same comments not considered as spam? |

If you don't enjoy debating, why are you wasting your life on forums? |

I remember watching a documentary on trans transition a few years ago.
One of the surgeons at Charing Cross Hospital said that surgery saves money in the long term with regards to the transitioning process.
Because the mental health treatment needed if a trans person wants the surgery but can't have it is immense.
Not that I think trans people need to justify their healthcare needs more than any other person. |

"Look
I am not an over eater
Anyone will tell you this
I don't give a ducks ass if you believe me because you're not my GP
I'm unable to walk much because I've got a broken patella bone
And surgery won't stop either the pain nor a replacement kneecap solve the issue
So you are wrong
And lots of medication can often cause changes in eating habits both up and down
But as I'm not on medication I'm not affected
So again you're wrong
And like I said
Needing a child or different genitalia isn't an illness
And take note
I'm still not arguing with you!
'Needing a child or different genitalia isn't an illness',they may not be an illness,but have you ever experienced either? I find your comments heartless...
I'm far from heartless
In fact in a very kind and caring person
I do voluntry work at various places in Worcester
Pillar of my community and regular church goer in fact
But my opinion is my opinion
Like it or not
It's not changing
"
I think a lot of people are forming an opinion of you too.
I could agree with your point of _iew, but then we'd both be wrong. |
