RE:Transgender ideology: awful argument 17 Being trans isn't a choice..?

There should be no medical intervention for anyone if it involves changing the function of the body. No hormones, no GRS. I don't think it should matter what age they are or if they have had therapy, the bottom line is doctors shouldn't be doing that. Cosmetic surgeries are different...they can be in poor taste, but changing someone's external appearance is a lot different than destroying their reproductive health

I'm always glad when people bring this up - thank you! Whatever anyone's opinion of cosmetic surgery, it tweaks what's already there, changing only the size, shape or location. It doesn't add something that isn't naturally there or remove anything that should be there. Many people only opt for it after a lot of soul-searching as to whether it's worth the risk or the expense, after being teased, bullied or stared at for having a body-part that doesn't conform to a narrow idea of 'normal'. These Frankensurgeries are in a different league.

@Crumbly Duckling Yes, thanks for the reply. I probably should have clarified that I was talking about the context of trans surgeries. I don't have a problem with cosmetic surgeries in general, but I was thinking if a man wants to put on breast implants or pull out his beard or put in a butt implant then that's his problem. But if we allow doctors to give people hormones (which will screw up their whole body) or rip up people's genitals to conform to someone's delusion then I think we are a cruel society and that becomes society's problem
