If I want to hit that, does that mean I have teh ghey?

I would, of course, have to see her naked first before I decide, just to make sure everything was put together correctly.

I wonder if blanket will become the youngest pop star who also doubles as a psychopathic killer.

Hell i think that the fact that his name is blanket gives him a good ol American right to get away with murder.

You know, if I could change, I would. It seems to me that the ladies really have it, at least while they're young. They're just so crushingly beautiful, I can't comprehend it. I'd have to be attractive though.

More that that, really, is I have convinced myself that women can do what they want and men cannot. I'm so constrained by the conventions of masculinity that I can't have fun or live in the moment. So much seems unattainable. I just don't understand how they manage to have so much fun.

It's probably all in my head.

Dude. She's still 16, this isn't a G8 summit.

 
RemyDuron 2009-07-13 12:15:18 AM  
Uh. . . 16? They gave her the operation at 16? What the fark? Unless there are some major extenuating circumstance, like the kid was a hermaphrodite and her parents chose one gender but she favored another, that seems pretty reckless and could backfire on the poor kid.

I have high hopes that in another 50-75 years issues like this will be considered trivial. Sooner or later we're going to hit a biomedical breakthrough that will make the question of what is human the burning question of the day, and all this will be seen as the trivial window dressing that it is. I truly hope to live long enough to see the same people who this gives fits of apoplexy keel over dead screaming in vain. All your confusion, bigotry, and general neanderthal idiocy will be as obsolete as an 8-track player, but I imagine that like the 8-track you'll just switch channels but be playing the same outdated tune.

On the contrary, it would be reckless to wait any longer. It's usually not hard to tell by earlier than that. Sixteen is the typical age to start HRT in the US, and the earliest surgeries come a year after that, I think. It should probably be earlier, to be honest; natural puberty, especially male puberty, does a lot of things that can't be undone.

Yes, how sick indeed. Two independent psychiatrists signed off on the fact that Kim is transsexual. How sick indeed. And what, per chance, is your medical or psychological background?

I'm going to guess none. But I'm glad you two non-experts have concurring opinions. Tell me, what do you do for a living? I'll be sure to call you for advice to whatever isn't related to that field, because I'm sure you two have the frankest and greatest advice to dispense.

You know, it's funny. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini long ago issued a fatwa permitting transsexual operations, and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei confirmed this fatwa. It's long since percolated to other clerical and governmental institutions in Iran.

Does that comfort you, knowing a country that hangs 16-year-old girls by the neck from construction cranes until they're dead for the crime of farking outside marriage has more progressive view points on gender identity and transsexuality than you do?

Yeah I don't see what the problem is. I think it would only be sick is if someone was going through this over the age of 25. The hormone therapies won't work, and the surgeries will be very complicated. Add in the fact that after the whole procedure is done, they will still look the same as before.

Better to do it earlier where the hormones will still make a difference.

16. I have no problem with sex changes, but I think that is too young. Too much potential for something to change. There's a reason it's generally harder to diagnose young people with certain psychological conditions.

Savoir-Faire: You know, if I could change, I would. It seems to me that the ladies really have it, at least while they're young. They're just so crushingly beautiful, I can't comprehend it. I'd have to be attractive though.

More that that, really, is I have convinced myself that women can do what they want and men cannot. I'm so constrained by the conventions of masculinity that I can't have fun or live in the moment. So much seems unattainable. I just don't understand how they manage to have so much fun.

It's probably all in my head.


It's all in your head. I'm a girl who greatly prefers the company and friendship of men. Women are petty and cruel. You can't just dress however you want to around women or else you'll be the butt of all their jokes and you'll be outcast and ostracized permanently. You can't do anything different or step outside the lines. You can't laugh too loud or sit comfortably or play rough or have any fun.

And in my waning years, when the lines start to show on my face and my breasts begin to succumb to gravity (as they inevitably will), I'll be that hideous old woman down the street that nobody wants to even visit, whereas my husband can get fat, wrinkled, and crotchety, and everyone will still think he's pretty cool. Aging is harder on women than it will ever be for men.

cchris_39: RemyDuron: Uh. . . 16? They gave her the operation at 16? What the fark? Unless there are some major extenuating circumstance, like the kid was a hermaphrodite and her parents chose one gender but she favored another, that seems pretty reckless and could backfire on the poor kid.

Agreed - and apparently they started on her on hormones at 13 to suppress the testosterone surge.

Really sick stuff.


Really sick stuff? I live in southeastern Florida, the official farking habitat of surgically-created "really sick stuff."

I have seen women whose faces are pulled so taut, it looks like you could flip their skulls back to dispense Pez.

I have seen breast enhancements so grossly overdone, you'd think someone stuck Quasimodo's head on backwards.

I have seen lips shaped like mating minnows -- traditionally, this is the only mobile feature left in a botoxed death mask.

It's grotesque. It's disgusting.

It's a socially accepted practice. Hell, in South Florida, it's freaking normal.

...And you want to call this sick? A kid who has identified as a female since age two has a sex change operation and becomes a lovely young lady?

Wow. Just...Wow.

I'm trying to think of things that I didn't change my mind about somewhere along the line between the ages of 2 and 13. So far, a fondness for french fries and feeling like a girl are the only things coming to mind. And you know what? I still like french fries and feel female at the age of 35. If this girl consistently said she was a girl from the ages of 2 to 13, I think they made the right call in starting her treatment. I really don't see her suddenly missing her penis.

All women aren't like that, though. There are plenty of tomboys and tomgeeks out there that don't act like that at all. Maybe you should stop accepting women who act like that because you think it is 'normal' and 'all' women do it, and try to make better female friends.

I'm not saying you shouldn't have guy friends. But as a woman, having such a low opinion of women to the point that you avoid them will only reflect itself in your self esteem.

There are plenty of old women who have active social lives and people that love visiting them. If you see yourself as having a future of abandonment while your husband has all the fun, I think the issue is yours.

But this is no ordinary girl - Kim was actually born TIM.


So people who have had gender reassignment surgeries can't be wholesome? They are all sex-crazed maniacs? Got it.

 
Dr. Mojo PhD [TotalFark] 2009-07-13 04:20:40 AM  
RemyDuron: 16. I have no problem with sex changes, but I think that is too young. Too much potential for something to change. There's a reason it's generally harder to diagnose young people with certain psychological conditions.


And yet transsexuality is not one of those conditions. Transsexuals universally identify as the opposite gender from day 1. This isn't a mere whim. Transsexuality isn't homosexuality, it's not about attraction, it's about identity. This isn't college experimentation or two lipstick lesbians making out to get you hard. It's not hermaphrodism.

The fact of the matter is, any and all transsexuals will identify as the opposite physical gender. There's not even a counter-argument there -- barring actual mental illness, a person doesn't just wake up and say they're a woman when they were born with testes and a penis. And, of course, that's precisely why psychiatrists and physicians administer a battery of tests to ensure that the person actually is transgendered and not mentally ill.

The surgery and procedures should be performed as early as possible, especially for the health of the transsexual. Fighting the body's natural hormones isn't as healthy as redirecting those hormones, and the primary and secondary sex characteristics forming the adult body are difficult to reverse; for the transsexual's mental health and stability its better to nip that in the bud than it is to permit a mixing of sex characteristics or to allow the sex characteristics to develop fully. It also requires less surgery to do so.

As for the age of the surgery, what's the problem? Post-natal infants undergo procedures if they're considered life-saving. Children and teens undergo life saving procedures. Would you object to a radical nephrectomy if Kim had metastatic renal carcinoma? Is she too young for that, too? Or does only physical health matter?

Yeah, forget the mental strain it will put on her. Forget suicidal ideations, depression, bullying, persecution. Forget anxiety, mood swings, and a general inability to fit in. Forget the fact that attracting a mate -- one of the primary biological imperatives -- becomes nigh impossible because transsexual men do not desire homosexual men or heterosexual woman. Forget all that mental and consequently, according to massive amounts of research, physical strain it will put on her even if she does consider suicide. The relatively harmless procedure that may save her life and give a fully realised sovereign moral agent piece of mind and a place in the world is wrong because she's 16 and not 18, a total whopping difference of a maximum of 731 days if the transsexual's birthday between those ages happens to fall on a leap year.

After all, so much can change in 731 days. A person who grows up a girl, identifies as a girl since as far back as they can remember self-identification, for 16 years, is going to change her mind in the span of a little more than 100 weeks.

She's only been alive for 5844 days (again accounting for leap years), identifying as a woman even before the onset of those horribly confusing puberty symptoms we all went through. You know, all those wet dreams, breaking voices, awkward hair growth and the sudden and sporadic desire for a vagina. I mean, when you take that into account, she really should wait till she's 18, right?

I'm sure the additional 11.1% of her lifespan she has to reflect on why she's wanted to be a woman her entire life will suddenly make her wipe her brow and go "phew, I'm glad I waited all these years to come to the exact same condition, only will now have to undergo corrective cosmetic surgery to alter all these changes to my body which would not have happened to me if I'd just gotten the operation two years ago. The additional invasive medical procedures, expenses, recovery time, mental strain and fatigue, persecution, loneliness, and depression sure were worth it to assure my anonymous internet critics that I really do want to be a woman, because it really does sort of seem like deciding what you should major in in college -- with us teenagers it might change any moment!"

I'm skeptical about that. I'm not a doctor, but common sense tells me it's unwise to do such a radical surgical procedure on someone who is not fully physically matured.

Most responsible plastic surgeons discourage girls under 18 from even getting breast implants, for the reason that they're still growing and it's difficult to predict how their future growth might adversely affect them post-op.

Sex change operations should be viewed with even more careful analysis in teenagers. The potential for unwanted side effects seems awfully risky. Wouldn't it be better if they waited a few years?

Uh, yeah. Not so much. It takes about three seconds on Google for anyone to discover that a mucous membrane is transferred to the neovagina during a vaginoplasty. Additionally, Cowper's gland is left intact. Cowper's gland is the homologue to Bartholin's gland in women, the primary source of lubrication in women. The neovagina is capable of secretions roughly analogous to a genetically female vagina. The presence of mucous membranes additionally protect from bacteria, naturally, and therefore would reduce and supposed smell.

That's Google for you. I could bust out my Psych 101 textbook -- something anybody can get at any post-secondary institute, really -- pop the chapter on sexual identity and sex reassignment, and explain how grossly wrong you are, but hey. I'm sure you love propagating what is essentially the modern day version of Jim Crow.

Epsilon: I'm skeptical about that. I'm not a doctor, but common sense tells me it's unwise to do such a radical surgical procedure on someone who is not fully physically matured.

That's actually not quite as big of an issue as you would seem to think. And whilst you pointed out the fact that young girls are dissuaded from getting breast implants and other cosmetic surgery, the reason for such things isn't because of the technical problems related to the operation, but because the doctors want to make sure that the patient is mentally fit to undertake such a decision.

In this case, I tend to agree with Kim's doctor - this seems like an exceptionally clear cut case and one that doesn't come a long very often to boot.

On the flip side however, considering Kim started hormone therapy at the age of 13, it wouldn't have really made that much of a difference if she had her gender reassignment surgery at 16 or 18. The hormones were keeping her from developing male secondary physical characteristics anyway and quite likely she'll have to keep taking them for the rest of her life in any case.

In a perfect world we'd have... well, perfect diagnosis capabilities for this stuff. If that was established, then I could see no reason for not performing the surgery as soon as it's physically viable. But until then, I do feel that doctors need to be very careful and that it's probably best to wait until the patient mentally matures enough to fully undertake responsibility for the outcome of the surgery.

That being said, I 100% support starting hormone therapy young for transgendered girls. The last thing the world needs is more fugly trannys. Blech.

Epsilon: I'm skeptical about that. I'm not a doctor, but common sense tells me it's unwise to do such a radical surgical procedure on someone who is not fully physically matured.

Yeah, well that's your problem, isn't it? The whole point of sex reassignment is to give the transsexual person some peace of mind. To give them a body that they identify with. The sooner it is performed, the better. You think it's wise to let them mature into a fully sexualized male or female body, then do the operation?

That's the surgical equivalent of letting a tumor grow to its most malignant size before removing it. It virtually defeats the entire purpose of the surgery in the first place.

Most responsible plastic surgeons discourage girls under 18 from even getting breast implants, for the reason that they're still growing and it's difficult to predict how their future growth might adversely affect them post-op.

And most responsible plastic surgeons will perform breast reductions on girls who have breasts so large as to cause chronic pain. Most responsible plastic surgeons will perform an implant or reduction on girls who have lobsided breasts. Most responsible plastic surgeons will perform breast reduction on teenage men with severe gynecomastia. Most responsible plastic surgeons will perform facial reconstruction and skin grafting on child burn victims. Most responsible plastic surgeons will perform any operation which is therapeutic to the patient.

What you're doing is equivocating. You're assuming that cosmetic = plastic = elective surgery. You're not differentiating between Marsha wanting bigger boobs because Marsha wants all the boys and Marsha wanting bigger boobs because one is an A cup and the other is a C cup. You're assuming sexual reassignment surgery is the same thing as a rhinoplasty to fix a Roman nose.

Oh hey, guess what: It's not. While it involves external, cosmetic changes it is most definitely done for a reason.

Sex change operations should be viewed with even more careful analysis in teenagers. The potential for unwanted side effects seems awfully risky. Wouldn't it be better if they waited a few years?

Unwanted side-effects like what? What unwanted side-effects are you imagining? It's not like their penis grows back after the surgery. Are you dropping medical buzzwords to advance your point or do you actually understand what you're talking about?

What could happen to a 16-year-old that couldn't happen to an 18-year-old during SRS? They grow a second head?

Here's the reality: The older they get, the less plastic they get. They're less malleable, and the changes their bodies undergo are far more set in stone. It's far more invasive, and therefore dangerous, to the person to wait. It's far less invasive to intervene early, perform a few treatments, and let nature take it the rest of way. Anything else is in your imagination.

Genderqueer isn't gay/lesbian. It's a pretty broad spectrum of gender identification issues (I use the term neutrally). Anyway, don't assume genderqueer to mean queer or, for that matter, transsexual.

I'm also sure if you looked at that minority, you would find some sort of underlying mental illness. I had a friend of mine that went extremely schizophrenic, and decided that because he had been gay, he should be a woman. He wanted to save up for sex reassignment, but of course he'd never get it. He just didn't want to be gay, and was mentally ill.

There's still nothing wrong with you, unless you WANT something to be wrong with you.

I'm all about people doing what they need to do in their world, just as long as it's doesn't involve stepping on other peoples toes. We don't live long enough for us to figure everything out, so we have to make the best of it we can. I get that part.

The fact still remains, you are who you are. While, your body is yours, your sex life is yours, it's all yours. I'm of the mind, inverting a penis and taking hormones might make someone happier, but it doesn't make them a girl. It's just an extremely drastic measure that should be taken if and only if all other measures failed miserably. Even at the point of no return where it's going to happen, people should be advised against it.

It's the same thing as chopping off your own foot because you grew up knowing you should not have that foot (yes, that happens, it's called body identity disorder). Sure, they end up much happier after the body part is removed. There are other options.

/with the one BIG exception of reversing an incorrect gender assignment at birth. That has demonstrably messed up peoples lives so throughly they end up having no sex drive, ambition, and no clear understanding of who they are.

Ya know, I don't really take issue with he/she making this decision. Instead I wonder what in the human mind makes it click to go against its biology. If it is sexual identification or if its something else? I won't profess to be knowledgable in the realm of psychology but it just really comes off as an anomoly...a hitch in the biology.

Sorry, but that's a statement that you can only make from outside my realm of experience and therefore is at best an (un)educated guess. Unless you grew up wearing your mother's clothes when she wasn't around, preteding you were a girl when no one was looking, you can't possibly tell me I wanted this. I didn't want to be like this, I was born like this.


/with the one BIG exception of reversing an incorrect gender assignment at birth. That has demonstrably messed up peoples lives so throughly they end up having no sex drive, ambition, and no clear understanding of who they are.

Note that the vast majority of gender reassignments done at birth have been on either intersexed children, or male children with horrifically botched circumcisions. I believe no gender reassignment should be done until the child themselves identifies as one gender or another, especially with intersexed children.

I look at young transwomen like this girl and am very happy for them that they were born to parents in an understanding society and they can make a change that works so well for them. And there's broad spectrums of how people transition and how far they go. Some girls enjoy having penises and that's ok too.

The big draw for me would have been to start hormone therapy young enough to look like a girl. Having a penis is something I could take or leave. But once testosterone starts shaping you into a male, it's late in the game.

The truth is, nobody knows for certain. It seems to be less a hitch in biology as neurology or psychology. They are, for the most part, either XX-Female identifying as male, or XY-male identifying as female. There's others, I'm sure (47, XXY, 47, XYY, 47, XXX), but there's no real difference between them and the standard 46, XX and 46, XY in terms of gender & sex. Genetically, most are normal male or females.

Sex reassignment surgery in the case of intersex or hermaphrodites is a wee bit different, for obvious reasons. In which case the person gets to choose their own sex if they have reasonably non-assholish parents.

In short, nobody knows for certain.

I used to wear my mother's clothes when she was around. Not that I delighted in identifying as a woman, you see, or desiring both characteristics, but I did love to shock my mother.

It was that or jump through the glass cocktail table and stick knives in electrical outlets. I did those, too, but honestly throwing on the Sunday best seemed to be a far safer alternative.

Sxooter: I believe no gender reassignment should be done until the child themselves identifies as one gender or another, especially with intersexed children.

This is one of those things I have no opinion on. It's way too hard to call. What I do know of it is by time someone is old enough to be aware of their own sexuality, they usually end up not having one.

If they get the assignment wrong (which does happen), you can end up with someone who is more screwed up than they would have been if they went without having an assignment.

If they get it right, you can end up with an adult who lives a productive and happy life.

Sex is such an important part of the human condition, if something can be done to help someone have a healthy sex life, then it should be done. it's just that simple. Problem is, if they get it wrong, you can end up royally messing up someone.

I just hope I NEVER end up having to make a decision like that.

One thing I will not allow, no son of mine is getting circumcised unless he choses to.

Then you don't share a common experience with me, because your motivation was completely different. I didn't dress in mom's clothes to shock anyone, I did it to feel like (for a short time at least) a girl.

I've certainly mellowed into it, and found that i don't need to be a girl to be happy, and I'd rather be an old guy who let's his friend's daughter put make up on me occasionally than try to pass as a really ugly chick.

Or unless it's medically necessary, right? My cousin had to be circumcised because of an infection of the frenulum that risked spreading to his glans and the rest of his penis. It was either snip the tip or chop the cock.

I used to let chicks put makeup on me all the time. It's interesting, because it seems that you felt (and this may be presumptuous of me) uncomfortable with your gender role, while I felt totally comfortable with mine. Leading to the same outcomes, if for completely different motivations.

mister aj: Dr. Mojo PhD: Epsilon: That's gross. Do you know what guys end up with when they get a sex change? A smelly, bacteria breeding, dry cavity. You want to put your d*ck into that? I'd rather choke on my own vomit.

Uh, yeah. Not so much. It takes about three seconds on Google for anyone to discover that a mucous membrane is transferred to the neovagina during a vaginoplasty. Additionally, Cowper's gland is left intact. Cowper's gland is the homologue to Bartholin's gland in women, the primary source of lubrication in women. The neovagina is capable of secretions roughly analogous to a genetically female vagina. The presence of mucous membranes additionally protect from bacteria, naturally, and therefore would reduce and supposed smell.

That's Google for you. I could bust out my Psych 101 textbook -- something anybody can get at any post-secondary institute, really -- pop the chapter on sexual identity and sex reassignment, and explain how grossly wrong you are, but hey. I'm sure you love propagating what is essentially the modern day version of Jim Crow.
You elitist liberals make me sick. You think that just because you're "educated" on so-called "science" that you know what's RIGHT. The Bible trumps medical science EVERY TIME. Burn in hell, homofag.

Dr. Mojo PhD: Epsilon: I'm skeptical about that. I'm not a doctor, but common sense tells me it's unwise to do such a radical surgical procedure on someone who is not fully physically matured.

Yeah, well that's your problem, isn't it? The whole point of sex reassignment is to give the transsexual person some peace of mind. To give them a body that they identify with. The sooner it is performed, the better. You think it's wise to let them mature into a fully sexualized male or female body, then do the operation?

That's the surgical equivalent of letting a tumor grow to its most malignant size before removing it. It virtually defeats the entire purpose of the surgery in the first place.

Most responsible plastic surgeons discourage girls under 18 from even getting breast implants, for the reason that they're still growing and it's difficult to predict how their future growth might adversely affect them post-op.

And most responsible plastic surgeons will perform breast reductions on girls who have breasts so large as to cause chronic pain. Most responsible plastic surgeons will perform an implant or reduction on girls who have lobsided breasts. Most responsible plastic surgeons will perform breast reduction on teenage men with severe gynecomastia. Most responsible plastic surgeons will perform facial reconstruction and skin grafting on child burn victims. Most responsible plastic surgeons will perform any operation which is therapeutic to the patient.

What you're doing is equivocating. You're assuming that cosmetic = plastic = elective surgery. You're not differentiating between Marsha wanting bigger boobs because Marsha wants all the boys and Marsha wanting bigger boobs because one is an A cup and the other is a C cup. You're assuming sexual reassignment surgery is the same thing as a rhinoplasty to fix a Roman nose.

Oh hey, guess what: It's not. While it involves external, cosmetic changes it is most definitely done for a reason.

Sex change operations should be viewed with even more careful analysis in teenagers. The potential for unwanted side effects seems awfully risky. Wouldn't it be better if they waited a few years?

Unwanted side-effects like what? What unwanted side-effects are you imagining? It's not like their penis grows back after the surgery. Are you dropping medical buzzwords to advance your point or do you actually understand what you're talking about?

What could happen to a 16-year-old that couldn't happen to an 18-year-old during SRS? They grow a second head?
www.bruce-campbell.com
Here's the reality: The older they get, the less plastic they get. They're less malleable, and the changes their bodies undergo are far more set in stone. It's far more invasive, and therefore dangerous, to the person to wait. It's far less invasive to intervene early, perform a few treatments, and let nature take it the rest of way. Anything else is in your imagination.

cchris_39: Agreed - and apparently they started on her on hormones at 13 to suppress the testosterone surge.

Really sick stuff.

Yes, how sick indeed. Two independent psychiatrists signed off on the fact that Kim is transsexual. How sick indeed. And what, per chance, is your medical or psychological background?

I'm going to guess none. But I'm glad you two non-experts have concurring opinions. Tell me, what do you do for a living? I'll be sure to call you for advice to whatever isn't related to that field, because I'm sure you two have the frankest and greatest advice to dispense.

You know, it's funny. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini long ago issued a fatwa permitting transsexual operations, and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei confirmed this fatwa. It's long since percolated to other clerical and governmental institutions in Iran.

Does that comfort you, knowing a country that hangs 16-year-old girls by the neck from construction cranes until they're dead for the crime of farking outside marriage has more progressive view points on gender identity and transsexuality than you do?


Unless one was also to agree that hanging 16-year old girls by their neck from construction cranes is progressive, your point is moot. Iran - the shining beacon of progressive policies.

Maybe. On the other hand (just playing devil's advocate) if s/he still wanted to be a woman at 18, then the body would have gone through a lot of changes that would be hard to reverse/overcome - something s/he avoided this way by changing early.

I'm glad this kid had a lot of support. One of my boys get hassled regularly for having a Dora doll to sleep with. But only from older boys, when in groups. But, younger boys, girls, or older boys not in a pack are all okay with it. He's a pretty good kid, so if someone wants to be a loser, he's got plenty of other friends to replace losers with.

OTOH, when I was little, I loved Speed Racer, wanted to be Capt. Kirk, and refused to wear dresses. Ok, all those things still apply. But, I just became known as the neighborhood crazy lady.

2. Tough to refute that someone (Mom the "jazz singer," who never made a name for herself, perhaps?) is trying to cash in on her by exploiting the transgender issues and snaring dirty old men in the process

3. Otherwise, someone should have mentioned that you don't have to be female to be an attention whore

I just dont get the whole act like a fake chick thing. I mean I am not a feminine woman. But I am not transgendered or anything. I act more like a guy but I have all the girly parts. I was looking on youtube and alot of the post surgery "girls" act like flamboyant drag queens. Real women act however they want and most of us dont run around like the fashion plates in magazines.

Where are the pills that make them cramp and bloat? And at the age of 50 do they stop taking the hormones and get facial hair like the rest of us? Just saying, its like being a Barbie without the real life problems attached to it. I can understand the whole I dont feel good in my body thing. But all the women in the world are not straight out of 17 magazine either. Prancing around and have lisps. My voice is deep so what..sheesh. Stop being fake and be yourself.

Doesn't resemble a boy at all. With a lot of sex changes, the female still looks a lot like the man they once were. He/She/It looks pretty hot. Perhaps the fact this person was still in their teens when they had it done helps (before he got his pubes).

It's probably all in my head.

It's all in your head. I'm a girl who greatly prefers the company and friendship of men. Women are petty and cruel. You can't just dress however you want to around women or else you'll be the butt of all their jokes and you'll be outcast and ostracized permanently. You can't do anything different or step outside the lines. You can't laugh too loud or sit comfortably or play rough or have any fun.

And in my waning years, when the lines start to show on my face and my breasts begin to succumb to gravity (as they inevitably will), I'll be that hideous old woman down the street that nobody wants to even visit, whereas my husband can get fat, wrinkled, and crotchety, and everyone will still think he's pretty cool. Aging is harder on women than it will ever be for men.

All women aren't like that, though. There are plenty of tomboys and tomgeeks out there that don't act like that at all. Maybe you should stop accepting women who act like that because you think it is 'normal' and 'all' women do it, and try to make better female friends.

I'm not saying you shouldn't have guy friends. But as a woman, having such a low opinion of women to the point that you avoid them will only reflect itself in your self esteem.

There are plenty of old women who have active social lives and people that love visiting them. If you see yourself as having a future of abandonment while your husband has all the fun, I think the issue is yours.

Dr. Mojo PhD:

You know, it's funny. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini long ago issued a fatwa permitting transsexual operations, and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei confirmed this fatwa. It's long since percolated to other clerical and governmental institutions in Iran.

Does that comfort you, knowing a country that hangs 16-year-old girls by the neck from construction cranes until they're dead for the crime of farking outside marriage has more progressive view points on gender identity and transsexuality than you do?




Not being snarky here, asking a question.

Last year Iran's President also said that there is "no homosexuality" in his country. Unofficial reports suggest that anyone caught in same-gender relationships are punished and/or killed there.

So, is this fatwa that "permits" gender reassessment a way for Iran to address homosexuality? In other words, is it so f*cking archaic there, that if you happen to be a homosexual man, the only way you can hope to survive is to undergo surgery?

Meh, you'd all hit it.

And as for "b-b-but she did it when she was 16? WTF?"

Puberty is a one-way-street to masculinity, so the most effective M2F hormone therapy is done before voice change and other masculinisations. That means this girl has been taking hormones since she was a little kid - by the time she was 16, the surgery would probably have felt ridiculously overdue.

It's nasty to make those kinds of decisions so young, but it makes the difference between producing a hot chick or the bearded lady.

I don't know, as a male I recall wanting to bang chicks by 11 or 12 before I reached puberty so I'm not sure how much difference puberty would have made for this chick. And sine I grew up in the sticks I know for a fact that just because a girl is a tomboy doesn't mean she has any question about her sexuality.

I'm not so sure about that. With something like this, the sooner the better. She's apparently been pretty sure about it her whole life, and began hormone therapy three years ago. Why make her wait? I would think waiting would do more damage.

simpsonfan: Birth defect? Chromosome abnormality? Injury? Valid reason to mess with the person's sex with surgery. otherwise, they just need mental help. That boy is not a girl, will never be a real girl.

Do you even know what a chromosomal abnormality might entail, though? Let's not just look at chromosomes on the whole, but the genes contained within them, and their expression patterns in conjunction with environmental factors. There are genetic, epigenetic, and environmental abnormalities that all can lead to the body developing as one sex and the brain developing as the other. It's just not as simple as you want it to be. Sex itself is determined fairly early on by a relatively small pathway compared to cerebral development, and there's no reason to assume they'd flawlessly work in conjunction. There are MANY biochemical reasons why this would happen. These are the reasons people are transgendered, and they tend to know their gender identity is wrong as soon as they are self-aware. It's always biological in nature, and that should be obvious to anyone who takes the time to talk to a transgendered person. It's not "mental", it's very much real.

Yes, her physical, external phenotype is always going to default to male unless she takes hormones to emulate that which the female body is normally subjected to. But it is well-documented and perfectly plausible that her brain developed as female while her body developed as male, which is certainly more than just a mental problem, it's hard-wired.

Are all sterile women not women then? Do they stop being a woman at 50 something when they hit menopause?


XY != XX

It's written into every last cell of his body.

Put all the Ford parts on a Chevy you like. A surgical scar, no matter how pretty, is still nothing more than a surgical scar. Props, if you will. People get leopard-spot tattoos and fangs implanted; does that make them leopards? Of course not.

Exactly. I have many trans friends, and there are far more difficulties if you wait into adulthood to get the operation. It's very hard to pass as female if you allow androgenic influence to preside for so long, because the facial features become obviously male if you do so. While there are plastic surgeries to help with this and feminize, they're pretty rough and don't work all that well. This isn't even to speak of the plasticity problems that come with aging. The sooner, the better -- these people pretty much always know that they're the opposite sex of what their body reflects, it isn't like they wake up when they're 13 and go, "ooh, I wanna be a girl!" You're totally right though, it's absolutely imperative to get it done early, certainly before puberty has taken its effects.

attention span of a retarded fruit fly: I just dont get the whole act like a fake chick thing. I mean I am not a feminine woman. But I am not transgendered or anything. I act more like a guy but I have all the girly parts. I was looking on youtube and alot of the post surgery "girls" act like flamboyant drag queens. Real women act however they want and most of us dont run around like the fashion plates in magazines.

After meeting a M2F I have two theories:

a) They have some idea of what the ideal female looks like, and they try to emulate that. Maybe it's somewhat liberating to say "I'm a woman now, I'll never wear pants again".

b) they are so insecure about whether they really look female "enough", so that they won't wear anything that doesn't underline their female-ness.
I can be comfortable wearing slacks, because I *know* that I am female, and playing with masculine fashion motifs won't change that. But if a M2F feels the need to hide remnants of her masculinity, the last thing she'd do is wear fashion that alludes to masculinity.

Does that make sense to anyone but me?

It's a mercurial area. After Thailand, Iran is the largest performer of sex reassignment surgery in the world. The fatwa on transsexuality and transgenderism does not ostensibly apply to homosexuality. Its content and context clearly states that SRS is only available for diagnosed transsexuals. Separate laws govern homosexuals, and the punishments are quite dire.

It's clear, however, that it is suggested that homosexuals in Iran use Iran's lenient view on transsexualism as an escape from the country's harsh laws on homosexuality.

It's, again, a far less than ideal situation if true because gay men don't want to be women with a partner who is attracted to women, they want to be men with a partner who is attracted to men. It spares them their life, at the cost of their mental health.

cchris_39: It's pretty farked up to give a 13 year old boy hormones to deny normal male puberty. You have no idea what might have happened then and neither do they. They're sick farks and I feel sorry for the kid.

Yes, we do not what will happen. Their sex characteristics will be suppressed, which is the ideal in this situation. The gonads will become more manageable, the secondary sex organs will not develop, the secondary sex characteristics will be repressed -- they will not grow body hair in typically male areas, the body odor will not be as strong, the hips will broaden instead of the shoulders, muscle mass and density will not increase as much, the voice will not break and deepen as much, bone mass will not increase as much, there will be more fat deposits, and they will grow breasts.

That is what will happen with hormone therapy. I know it, and they know it. The only person who doesn't know it is you.

But hey, let's pump your prepubescent tomboy daughter full of testosterone until she grows facial hair and never gets her period. I know 2 shrinks who will sign off on it.

As somebody who has almost exclusively favoured dating tomboys in my life, I can pretty confidently say that your average tomboy doesn't identify as a man, doesn't want to be a man, isn't a lesbian, and -- this is why I date them -- they're actually far more sensitive and feminine than any of the lipstick-mouthed shovelfaces I've ever seen.

So hey, not only are you clueless about transsexuality, you're also inexperienced with women.

But you know what? If my 46, XX or 47, XXX daughter has identified as a male -- identified as, not merely with -- since the age of 2, desires to be a man, feels trapped in an incorrect body, and is transsexual, I would make sure she got the hormone therapy and sex reassignment surgery she needed.

Of course, I actually think I'd be a good, supportive parent. You, on the other hand, think tomboys are dykes who want to be boys.

S.A.S.Q.U.A.T.C.H. 2009-07-13 12:07:46 PM  
Dr. Mojo PhD: RemyDuron: 16. I have no problem with sex changes, but I think that is too young. Too much potential for something to change. There's a reason it's generally harder to diagnose young people with certain psychological conditions.


And yet transsexuality is not one of those conditions. Transsexuals universally identify as the opposite gender from day 1. This isn't a mere whim. Transsexuality isn't homosexuality, it's not about attraction, it's about identity. This isn't college experimentation or two lipstick lesbians making out to get you hard. It's not hermaphrodism.

The fact of the matter is, any and all transsexuals will identify as the opposite physical gender. There's not even a counter-argument there -- barring actual mental illness, a person doesn't just wake up and say they're a woman when they were born with testes and a penis. And, of course, that's precisely why psychiatrists and physicians administer a battery of tests to ensure that the person actually is transgendered and not mentally ill.

The surgery and procedures should be performed as early as possible, especially for the health of the transsexual. Fighting the body's natural hormones isn't as healthy as redirecting those hormones, and the primary and secondary sex characteristics forming the adult body are difficult to reverse; for the transsexual's mental health and stability its better to nip that in the bud than it is to permit a mixing of sex characteristics or to allow the sex characteristics to develop fully. It also requires less surgery to do so.

As for the age of the surgery, what's the problem? Post-natal infants undergo procedures if they're considered life-saving. Children and teens undergo life saving procedures. Would you object to a radical nephrectomy if Kim had metastatic renal carcinoma? Is she too young for that, too? Or does only physical health matter?

Yeah, forget the mental strain it will put on her. Forget suicidal ideations, depression, bullying, persecution. Forget anxiety, mood swings, and a general inability to fit in. Forget the fact that attracting a mate -- one of the primary biological imperatives -- becomes nigh impossible because transsexual men do not desire homosexual men or heterosexual woman. Forget all that mental and consequently, according to massive amounts of research, physical strain it will put on her even if she does consider suicide. The relatively harmless procedure that may save her life and give a fully realised sovereign moral agent piece of mind and a place in the world is wrong because she's 16 and not 18, a total whopping difference of a maximum of 731 days if the transsexual's birthday between those ages happens to fall on a leap year.

After all, so much can change in 731 days. A person who grows up a girl, identifies as a girl since as far back as they can remember self-identification, for 16 years, is going to change her mind in the span of a little more than 100 weeks.

She's only been alive for 5844 days (again accounting for leap years), identifying as a woman even before the onset of those horribly confusing puberty symptoms we all went through. You know, all those wet dreams, breaking voices, awkward hair growth and the sudden and sporadic desire for a vagina. I mean, when you take that into account, she really should wait till she's 18, right?

I'm sure the additional 11.1% of her lifespan she has to reflect on why she's wanted to be a woman her entire life will suddenly make her wipe her brow and go "phew, I'm glad I waited all these years to come to the exact same condition, only will now have to undergo corrective cosmetic surgery to alter all these changes to my body which would not have happened to me if I'd just gotten the operation two years ago. The additional invasive medical procedures, expenses, recovery time, mental strain and fatigue, persecution, loneliness, and depression sure were worth it to assure my anonymous internet critics that I really do want to be a woman, because it really does sort of seem like deciding what you should major in in college -- with us teenagers ...


Dr. Mojo PhD: Epsilon: I'm skeptical about that. I'm not a doctor, but common sense tells me it's unwise to do such a radical surgical procedure on someone who is not fully physically matured.

Yeah, well that's your problem, isn't it? The whole point of sex reassignment is to give the transsexual person some peace of mind. To give them a body that they identify with. The sooner it is performed, the better. You think it's wise to let them mature into a fully sexualized male or female body, then do the operation?

That's the surgical equivalent of letting a tumor grow to its most malignant size before removing it. It virtually defeats the entire purpose of the surgery in the first place.

Most responsible plastic surgeons discourage girls under 18 from even getting breast implants, for the reason that they're still growing and it's difficult to predict how their future growth might adversely affect them post-op.

And most responsible plastic surgeons will perform breast reductions on girls who have breasts so large as to cause chronic pain. Most responsible plastic surgeons will perform an implant or reduction on girls who have lobsided breasts. Most responsible plastic surgeons will perform breast reduction on teenage men with severe gynecomastia. Most responsible plastic surgeons will perform facial reconstruction and skin grafting on child burn victims. Most responsible plastic surgeons will perform any operation which is therapeutic to the patient.

What you're doing is equivocating. You're assuming that cosmetic = plastic = elective surgery. You're not differentiating between Marsha wanting bigger boobs because Marsha wants all the boys and Marsha wanting bigger boobs because one is an A cup and the other is a C cup. You're assuming sexual reassignment surgery is the same thing as a rhinoplasty to fix a Roman nose.

Oh hey, guess what: It's not. While it involves external, cosmetic changes it is most definitely done for a reason.

Sex change operations should be viewed with even more careful analysis in teenagers. The potential for unwanted side effects seems awfully risky. Wouldn't it be better if they waited a few years?

Unwanted side-effects like what? What unwanted side-effects are you imagining? It's not like their penis grows back after the surgery. Are you dropping medical buzzwords to advance your point or do you actually understand what you're talking about?

What could happen to a 16-year-old that couldn't happen to an 18-year-old during SRS? They grow a second head?

Here's the reality: The older they get, the less plastic they get. They're less malleable, and the changes their bodies undergo are far more set in stone. It's far more invasive, and therefore dangerous, to the person to wait. It's far less invasive to intervene early, perform a few treatments, and let nature take it the rest of way. Anything else is in your imagination.

The haters are just self-righteous think-they-know-it-alls. For some reason there's this obsession with the idea that children can't make choices, or that parents aren't allowed to make serious decisions for their children and that they have to wait until the kid is 18 when he/she is magically old enough to decide.

There was an episode of Nip/Tuck in which they were debating whether to correct a baby's hand deformity. Eventually, the mom was convinced to not allow doctors to perform it and wait until the kid grew up, thanks to junk scientific studies suggesting that babies remembered the pain of surgeries. In the show's sci-fi surgery world, they eventually gave the boy a normal hand when he was grown up, 20 years later. Hopefully, in 20 years we will actually have the ability to surgically correct almost any birth defect but for now, if you want to fix something, you need to do it early. Waiting until the child is grown is luxury that medical science just doesn't provide.

As for the girl in the article, it would have been totally wrong to force her to wait until after male puberty kicks in, giving her a man's face, height, bone structure, and deep voice. I'm sorry if you can't get past the fact that you think transgenderism is weird, but don't force your opinions on those who have to deal with it personally.

It's pretty farked up to give a 13 year old boy hormones to deny normal male puberty. You have no idea what might have happened then and neither do they. They're sick farks and I feel sorry for the kid.

But hey, let's pump your prepubescent tomboy daughter full of testosterone until she grows facial hair and never gets her period. I know 2 shrinks who will sign off on it.



There are documented cases of "boys" in the same situation that she was in harming themselves or outright killing themselves as their body changed into something they hated.

If it is the best thing for the child then good for them. In this case it clearly appears to be.

Also, just for the thread's reference. Even sex determination is not as simple a pathway as everyone is suggesting. This is a bare outline of it, only including the most significant molecules and anatomical featurs. There are documented mistakes at every single step in this pathway that take place in humans, some more common than others. A Y chromosome is important because it has the SRY gene, which can be translocated to an X in meiosis and yield an XX female. If you have a Y with no SRY gene, you'll get an XY female. Gender determination probably involves 10 times the number of genes, if not more. It is just not as simple as everyone wants it to be.

Dr. Mojo PhD: Haha, yeah. I always take comfort in that study that showed unknowledgeable feel more knowledgeable than they actually are.

Yeah, I just take pleasure in cornering angry, ill-informed people with evidence that they can't refute. I know they won't change their minds, but it sure is fun to watch them squirm.

If it acts like a cute girl, and looks like a cute girl, and makes love like a cute girl, then it must be a cute girl.

No, no it isn't right, it isn't okay, it's people like you appeasing the mentally ill and encouraging more of it.

Uh huh. I like the strawman, too. It's also sort of ironic because it actually applies more to you -- like if a physicist said that the sun was a nuclear furnace converting hydrogen to helium, and you were all like "nuh-uh any common man can plainly see it's a great ball of fire and you just don't know what you're talking about." The whole anti-scientific rhetoric swaddled in some laughably pro-science strawman is ... I don't know, it's like that warm fuzzy feeling I get when I know a retarded child is going home without feces in his diapers.

Now, meat and potatoes time: Where did you get your MD in psychiatry? Where did you take your surgeon's specialization? What institute of higher learning conferred a PhD on psychology or physiology or biology on you?

Again, I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say "none". If I had to make a best guess, I'm going to say you've got a Bachelor's degree at most, and probably not in a scientific or critical field.

Which really leads me to the question, then, is how are you in any way fit to make diagnoses about the mentally ill and who does or does not fit into it?

Is there anything about your body you would change, if you could -- any sort of body dysmorphism at all? Do you have anything in your genetic heritage you do not identify with, say a racial heritage or something?

Don't bother answering, I know the answer is "yes". And hey, unlike your tortured invalid analogy strawman about the sun, there is actually a tautology here; since this is what transsexuals suffer from, dysmorphism and identity issues, hey, that makes you mentally ill by your own admission.

darrent83: A large proportion of the men getting gender reassignment surgery are not trans at all but simply gay men.

Supposedly, that was the case in western nations when sexual reassignment surgery first came out.

These days, everyone is screened. A friend of mine who went through the process was required to have 12 hour-long sessions with a licensed psychiatrist before being prescribed hormones. From there, s/he had to come in every month for a year before s/he could get a letter of referral for cosmetic surgery (facial reconstruction). Once s/he recovered, s/he transitioned full time.

Even then, s/he had to live a full year as a woman, with monthly appointments with the psychiatrist, before s/he could get a letter of recommendation for gender reassignment surgery. All together, s/he spent around three years under the care of a psychiatrist before the final surgery.

From what I have heard and read, once you reach puberty, if you have these kinds of feelings, they generally don't go away. There were a few reports that said that the rate of relapse for teenagers who were "cured" of their gender identity issues was fairly high.

To compound problems, the relapse generally occurs in their 30s and 40s. Many of these people had families with children by that point. Having a parent transition is psychologically devastating to a child. Others simply commit suicide rather than transition. For many, it is very destructive to transition at that age.

Despite what all the haters in the thread think, the girl in the article is most likely going to live a very healthy, happy life. You don't go through all of that screening and suddenly go "oops, maybe I shouldn't have chopped off my pecker". It doesn't work that way.

The closer to puberty you can identify and transition, the better.

In this situation this person could easily pass in public as a female with nobody here any wiser thanks to the quick reaction to his/her personality as a child.

For you "genetic basis advocates", sure genetically she's got guy chromosomes, but isn't that nothing more than a genetic blueprint? Obviously it can't be all-encompassing in determining gender if hormones can alter the end result.

If I buy a 2 bdr house and turn one bedroom into a garage, is it still a 2 bedroom garage? No. It's still a house and for all intensive purposes the blueprints may still remain identical if the location of the garage is practical.

First, your idea that 46, XY is the only chromosomal configuration for a male. Laughable.

Your comparison of animal paraphilia to transsexualism and transgendrism. DSM-IV clearly delineates the two. Also laughable.

And if all the Ford parts are in a Chevy, literally makes it a Ford in a Chevy's body. So that's a failed analogy accidentally proving the opposite point you were trying to make.

Agreed - and apparently they started on her on hormones at 13 to suppress the testosterone surge.

Really sick stuff.

Maybe. On the other hand (just playing devil's advocate) if s/he still wanted to be a woman at 18, then the body would have gone through a lot of changes that would be hard to reverse/overcome - something s/he avoided this way by changing early.

/not sure this is right or wrong. Just interesting.

Not really. The hormones should have stopped that. The real argument I suppose is "whats the magic number at which a human being can accept responsibility for their actions".

The answer seems to vary quite a deal :O

Thanks for pointing that out, I make that mistake a lot, something I picked up from my family. I'm not entirely sure where I stand on this whole gender change thing. I do believe that XY does mean you're genetically a man, but like I said that's malleable and, for all "intents and purposes," I feel it boils down to how you appear to others.

I've a roommate that recently made a trip to meet a pre-op who's saving up for his gender reassignment, but still looks like a girl. I think the important part is how you view the person. You may know that it is/was a guy, but you view him as a female then ultimately the guy is no longer a guy but a female in your minds eye.

There have been some amazing advances in surgery, and it makes for a fascinating afternoon (at least) of reading if you're up for it. The original surgeries were rather crude in nature, but as time has gone on and some brilliant surgeons have entered the game, they can make everything look indistinguishable from other women. Going female to male presents far more challenges, but male to female can look extremely realistic and function very well, too. It all depends on the skill of the surgeon, and luck as to how you'll heal up (some people just end up with more sensation and functionality than others).

There have been some amazing advances in surgery

That there have been. To the point to where a good doc can make it so only another doc can tell it's not original equipment. And even then, it takes some looking around.

Course besides the obvious surgery other surgery has improved to help things too, though it falls under the realm of more general plastic surgery, things like scraping down an adam's apple, facial feminization surgery etc. Though a bunch of the improvement is just better plastic surgeons getting in on it.

I mean you took a sentence fragment and then went on a rant that totally differed from what I was trying to say. I was never saying that this happens now a days in the western world. But it still goes on in Iran.

Eventually, things will change in Iran. Once they get their act together and throw the theocratic government out, there is a good chance that Iran will move to a western model for psychiatric care, and that gender reassignment will no longer be a back door for effeminate gay men to live their lifestyle.

Well, I was on the fence as to the age at which this was done, but much of his argument helped to sway me fully to the side that this was the correct course of action. Your time was not totally wasted, if that makes anyone feel better.

I can say with extreme ease that I knew as far back as I could remember that something was wrong, but I couldn't put a word to it. Until I was 13 and learned that there was even a word for how I felt, I thought I was the only person in the world who felt that way. To a kid, that's the worst feeling in the world, to be lonely like that. There was no way I could've told anyone. Once I found out there were other people, though, I told my mother.

But, because I was 13, she said I was confused, took me to a "Christian Therapist" to get "fixed". It didn't work, clearly. I had a few suicide attempts with pills, almost drank a drain-o smoothie before a friend talked me out of it. I tried to "deal", and I repressed it for a while, but my mom disbelieving me and not helping me, it farked up my head for about a decade until things eventually came to a head all my little "coping tricks" stopped working, and I had to confront it.

Now, I've got to fight my own biology and a whole host of other legal and personal issues that would've been less painful for everyone involved if it was just handled sooner. Hell, part of it might have been covered by my parent's health insurance when I was little (not the surgery, but the therapy and doctor's visits and such) but I can't even GET insurance because I'm trans, even if I walked into CIGNA HQ with a briefcase full of $100's. They won't touch me now; disqualifying pre-existing condition, after all.

I'd give a kidney and my left eye if I could've done what this girl's done. But at least I can hope her example means that that someone like me won't have to go through what I did because people don't understand it.

Technically all she changed was sex, her gender remained the same. I know, it's confusing, because so often in the States we use gender as a PC term for sex, but they are two different things. Sex is the physical stuff, gender is the mental stuff though.

But yeah, I was pretty much considered to be a dweeb/dork/nerd whatever, but because I had some masculine interests I was able to pass as a man for years. When I finally transitioned and started living as a woman, relationships became a lot easier in some aspects. I had a girlfriend for a few years, we broke up, now I'm living with another woman who is absolutely wonderful, and we just celebrated our 1 year anniversary of being together. I guess what I'm saying is you're absolutely right in that failure tends to happen when you're not in the right body and can't relate to other people.

Does it really matter to you that much?

Be pragmatic.

If she lived as a boy, she'd be a lousy one. She'd be a guy with pathetically girly tastes, watching his body get hairy and develop a gruff voice. The emotional reaction to these undesired changes would be suicide.

To put it bluntly: imagine if you grew tits, how would you feel? Not those flabby moobs you have, I mean real knockers. And imagine it happened to you as a loner teenaged boy.

The result is generally suicide. But society prefers suicide - we don't have to watch suicides walk down the street, reminded that some people are, well, freaks. We don't have to pay for their hormones. We just bury them, comfort their grieving moms, and forget they existed.

Be pragmatic. Instead of what I described above, he gets to become a hot chick. Not just a hot chick, an awesome one. She's sexy, famous, and a pop-star. Obviously, that's not everybody, but it sure as hell worked out well for her.

Just because her chromosomes say different, and her vagina was sculpted by a surgeon, you're going to say it's farking wrong? Who gives a shiat.

Just look at her and tell me the results aren't wonderful.

Except that's not always true. See Swyer Syndrome and Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, which can cause XY females; there are others as well.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swyer_syndrome

Swyer syndrome, or XY gonadal dysgenesis, is a type of hypogonadism in which no functional gonads are present to induce puberty in an externally female [looking] person whose karyotype is then found to be XY. The gonads are found to be nonfunctional streaks. Estrogen and progesterone therapy is usually then commenced. The gonads are normally removed surgically because they do not function and may develop cancer.

Yes, because genetics is everything about you. Please grab a biology book or something. Your stupid, it burns.

No, then you are a genetic fark up and you are neither male nor female.

I'm willing to wager that more than half of the women you fap to have an XY genotype, bright guy. XY Females generally express traits which are advantages in the modeling industry; generally speaking, tall and thin with nice legs and pert boobies. A disproportionate amount of women involved in producing those sexy photos guys love have an XY genotype. So enjoy-- by your own definition, you're bi.

Refer to the diagram I've posted above on genetic sex determination -- you are vastly oversimplifying everything. Furthermore, there's no such thing as a genetic fark up, it's an artificial distinction that you've made which doesn't actually exist.

And seriously, unless you're karyotyping everyone you meet, I think you're full of crap. You're just pulling at straws because you're uncomfortable with the idea of someone who was born into a male body becoming a valid, even attractive female. Look, you don't judge whether someone is female by looking at their karyotype; if you're a normal person, you make this judgment based on appearance and anatomy (which externally will look 100% female in this case). The genetic argument is a terrible one to rationalize your discomfort unless you have a compulsion to karyotype everyone you encounter, try something else next time.

I take back the thing about not being male or female.

The Swyers Syndrome people are males with broken Y chromosomes.

If you want to say that someone is male or female just because of the way they look, then Ru Paul is a female.

More that that, really, is I have convinced myself that women can do what they want and men cannot. I'm so constrained by the conventions of masculinity that I can't have fun or live in the moment. So much seems unattainable. I just don't understand how they manage to have so much fun.

It's probably all in my head.

It's all in your head. I'm a girl who greatly prefers the company and friendship of men. Women are petty and cruel. You can't just dress however you want to around women or else you'll be the butt of all their jokes and you'll be outcast and ostracized permanently. You can't do anything different or step outside the lines. You can't laugh too loud or sit comfortably or play rough or have any fun.

And in my waning years, when the lines start to show on my face and my breasts begin to succumb to gravity (as they inevitably will), I'll be that hideous old woman down the street that nobody wants to even visit, whereas my husband can get fat, wrinkled, and crotchety, and everyone will still think he's pretty cool. Aging is harder on women than it will ever be for men.

Gender has nothing to do with who is sexual attractive to. There are some transgendered who go male to female that are attracted to sex. Either way they know and at a young age, it doesn't matter how they got Gender Identity Disorder. It is a matter what is best for that person who has it.

I think the mom is, she took her child to a bunch of people in the psychology world, and they diagnosed Kim, and said was best for the child. The surgery and the hormone therapy wouldn't of went through if it wasn't for doctors approving it.

The bigotry and ignorance in this thread is baffling.

Yes this is fark, but seriously people really need to get a clue.

If you don't understand the difference between being transgender/transsexual and being gay, then don't bother posting.

If you don't understand how someone is happier living their life as what gender they really feel, versus whatever gender he or she was born as, then don't bother posting.

I've seen other news articles about her (and on fark as well), and I say kudos to her. I'm so happy for her!

Codyl: Yeah, but while young life is much easier for women. Free drinks, and tons of attention.

Harder professionally, though. I've lost track of the number of times that colleagues have been talking to my tits in serious meetings. The worst is when you're trying to discuss a business proposal and your superior interrupts you to make comments about your appearance. Um, excuse me? Or the guy below me who had problems taking direction from me because I'm a woman, and then tried to hit on me right after dismissing my requests. That was classic. Hope he likes being unemployed.

I dress conservatively and I comport myself professionally, yet I still have to fight tooth and nail to be taken seriously. I hate it. I've had to become a real dragon around the douchebags who can't handle working with women. Not fun.

And if we go back further than that, I can tell you about the sexist teacher who docked my grade because I turned down his flirtatious advances by telling him that I was engaged. Awesome.

And what's the trade off? Some skeezy guys at the bar will buy me a drink? Yeah, great.


/note: I don't mean to imply that all guys I work with are creeps, because most of them are awesome and treat me like any other employee. But those ones that don't respect me really make things difficult...and I don't want to cry "sexual harassment" because that's pretty much a blacklist for life. I've learned to put them in their place by calling them out instead. :) Hooray.

That being said, there are some ignorant motherfarkers in this thread. Holy crap. There is a large continuum of sexuality. All the way from super straight to super gay to wanting to be the other sex. Who cares? All that anyone should care about is that no one chooses their sexual preference/identity. Just like I didn't choose to be straight, this person did not choose to be a transsexual.

It does explain a lot of it, for sure, but I've also spoken to a pharmacist and a high-ranking government official who have to put up with the same thing on a regular basis. Makes me think it's in a lot of different careers. :(

Though, now that I think about it, I'm sure men have to deal with the opposite in female-dominated careers. I have a male friend who's a nurse, and he gets hassled a lot.

You know, my mom said the same thing about me. She said I was just fine until I visited a couple of doctors and "had this done to me." Despite the fact that I went to the doctors because I felt like I may be transsexual. So no, doctors did not do anything to her, she went to them with her parents because of what she already felt, for years before she went to a therapist. So don't be stupid. Doctors do not cause transsexuality, any more than an oncologist causes cancer or a heart doctor causes a cardiac event.

Phletchengreuber: Since some of you have a really good grasp of the subject matter, I have a question that is a bit tangential : How do transgenders handle telling/not telling potential partners about their gender change?

Well, funny story about that....

Last year I was in a really bad car accident, and had my right arm broken. Needless to say, I was on some really good pain meds, not to mention some beer and etc. Well I was really bored and lonely a few nights after the wreck, so I made an online profile on OKCupid. It's a really great site if you're looking to do the whole online dating thing BTW. So I end up one evening, in a very foggy haze, writing to a bunch of women on the site. And thus I meet my current girlfriend. The next day she writes back, I check my email, and I'm thinking "who the hell is this Sarah person? She sounds cool, but um..." Anyway, she and I start talking, I clue her in on to my less than sober demeanor the night before, we reintroduce ourselves, and start talking online.

So about a week goes by, we've been chitchatting, and I tell, while online, hey, "I've got something I'd like for you to see. Go here: http://www.fark.com/cgi/users.pl?login=jenniferwillow (new window) " So um, Fark is kind of how I came out to my girlfriend.

/She's sitting next to me and her statement at reading this was "Yes, and it went suprisingly well!"

UnspokenVoice [TotalFark] 2009-07-14 12:05:29 AM  
Dr. Mojo PhD: UnspokenVoice: Not many sane people would agree with you thus you've "reached no one." Imagine that... You're basically saying that it is natural to want to call the Sun "The bright square shining black thing in the ground." No, no it isn't right, it isn't okay, it's people like you appeasing the mentally ill and encouraging more of it.

Uh huh. I like the strawman, too. It's also sort of ironic because it actually applies more to you -- like if a physicist said that the sun was a nuclear furnace converting hydrogen to helium, and you were all like "nuh-uh any common man can plainly see it's a great ball of fire and you just don't know what you're talking about." The whole anti-scientific rhetoric swaddled in some laughably pro-science strawman is ... I don't know, it's like that warm fuzzy feeling I get when I know a retarded child is going home without feces in his diapers.

Now, meat and potatoes time: Where did you get your MD in psychiatry? Where did you take your surgeon's specialization? What institute of higher learning conferred a PhD on psychology or physiology or biology on you?

Again, I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say "none". If I had to make a best guess, I'm going to say you've got a Bachelor's degree at most, and probably not in a scientific or critical field.

Which really leads me to the question, then, is how are you in any way fit to make diagnoses about the mentally ill and who does or does not fit into it?

Is there anything about your body you would change, if you could -- any sort of body dysmorphism at all? Do you have anything in your genetic heritage you do not identify with, say a racial heritage or something?

Don't bother answering, I know the answer is "yes". And hey, unlike your tortured invalid analogy strawman about the sun, there is actually a tautology here; since this is what transsexuals suffer from, dysmorphism and identity issues, hey, that makes you mentally ill by your own admission.


I see you don't actually address the question and you project a great deal... There are many things I could do to change my physical self and I can do so with relative ease. I don't even have corrective surgery on my eyes, start there and keep going.

You don't get it, you won't. It's okay - the irony is that you think you're either smarter or better when all you do is parrot what you are told to say. Don't project, I'm not even beautiful or anything, I'm pretty ugly, and I have no desire to change anything about me at all and that DOES include my faults. I have my share of physical faults, none of them are more than I am concerned about. I could get anything I wanted corrected, they have a surgery for anything I could desire pretty much.

You're right bunner, but she has the benefit of having gotten the alterations/drug therapies early, before normal maturation could have a strong effect on her body.

Had she waited til puberty was through with her, she would have been hard pressed to avoid the manly features, but I'm guessing she'll be as hot when she's 30 and 40 as any 16 year old who looks as cute as her would.

I imagine that was one of the factors the doctors weighed in performing it now rather than waiting.

Only looks female from a distance, zoom to the face, and bam, easy to recognize as a dude

Hoopido: Pxtl: The emotional reaction to these undesired changes would be suicide.

So the problem is self correcting even. Solved.


Hey, thanks for confirming my opinion of you. It's great when the people who you think are ***holes go out of their way to prove it :)

HAMMERTOE: Dr. Mojo PhD: And if all the Ford parts are in a Chevy, literally makes it a Ford in a Chevy's body. So that's a failed analogy accidentally proving the opposite point you were trying to make.

Wrong. The title, insurance and registrations will all still read "Chevrolet."


Paperwork? You've compared "god's plan" or whatever it is you believe in to paperwork? Hilarious!

So by your logic, her Gender Identity Disorder and SRS meant nothing...she's still a boy. But if we get you a revised birth certificate, insurance and new ID that say "FEMALE", that would make YOU a girl!

I think you better rethink that argument. I don't think you said what you think you said :)

//Incidentally, that paperwork you seem so concerned with DOES get changed when you get SRS. Not that that makes a bit of difference to the actual topic we were discussing.

Nothing like yet another trans-story and the ensuing mean-spirited ignorant posters. All haters, please go back in your troll-holes, and renew your GROOBY subscriptions; you know what I'm talking about.

I concur with the supporters here about the choices made and permitted. If it's so ineffable and difficult to understand, how about a little compassion and forget the smaller of your two heads for a minute, men?

And if some things in the world just make you a little uncomfortable, just carry on with your own damn business, and say there but for the grace of god/allah/buddha go I.

mister aj: You elitist liberals make me sick. You think that just because you're "educated" on so-called "science" that you know what's RIGHT. The Bible trumps medical science EVERY TIME. Burn in hell, homofag.

Are you fakring kidding me? I hope you fakring die in a fire.
