If nature has made you a man or a woman, you will stay one. If you transgress this, you've just commited an aberration, and you've become an aberration yourself. You should be treated as such.

That's just the problem: if nature makes you a man with a feminine anatomy, or a woman with a masculine anatomy then you're already an aberration (and you can feel like it, too); the surgery is to fix that mistake (and don't go saying that nature doesn't make mistakes).
I have a friend -- a biological male -- who was born a hermaphrodite. At birth, his parents said to keep the vagina and to remove the penis. As he got older, he had the surgery to give him the right parts.
If you see a problem with this, it should be in the decision his parents made, but even there, I'm not convinced they did anything inherently wrong.
It's none of your fucking business what I choose to do with my body. And this time, you can't use the "innocent child" argument. If I want different genitals, then damn it, I'm going to go get them.
"Corrective eyewear shouldn't be permitted by a society, and it's the sign that our current society is sick beyond belief. Any optometrist who engages in this should immediately lose his license and serve time, and society should NEVER consider a person to need any other eyes than the ones nature gave her.
If nature has made you near-sighted or far-sighted, you will stay that way. If you transgress this, you've just commited an aberration, and you've become an aberration yourself, a four-eyes. You should be treated as such."

Not being a transsexual and not knowing any I can't speak from experience and so can't be certain but it is my belief that if people would stop trying to solidify gender roles and push men and women into two very distinct categories (and instead treated gender with more fluidity) there would be far fewer people who feel the need to go through sex-change operations.
In short, Mesian’s an idiot.
@Mudak
They didn't do anything inherently wrong?
How do you think mutilation of children without their consent to be anything BUT wrong?
Sure, a hermaphrodite might be outside the concept of social normalcy held by most people, but it's still mutilation, unless the hermaphrodite in question actually is old enough to consent to such things and goes along with it.
Yes, you will stay a man or a woman depending on how you were born. Sex changes are essentially just cosmetic surgery combined with hormone therapy. You don't ACTUALLY gain the ability to make babies, you just gain what looks like a vagina and what can work as a vagina during sex. No aberration. Just a change in appearance.
It'd be fucking awesome if they could totally redo your pelvic plumbing, though.
Yet another fundie for prosecution/outlawing of victimless "crimes" ...
@Canadia
I agree. It goes along with the absurd idea the everybody must conform to the gender binary. For many parents of hermaphroditic individuals, that the child MUST be readily identifiable as either a "man" or a "woman" -- there is no spectrum in between or otherwise -- trumps any notions of consent, lest they raise a "freak".
You have not understood the trans-gender problem, at all. Nature has given them a set of gender genitals, but the personality and the brain of the other gender. Nature fucked up, not the afflicted person.
Plus, some people have the genitals of both genders. They must the be BOTH male AND female, as Nature has provided them with both.
Why exactly is gender itself important to society, let alone so critically important that to question it is sick beyond belief? If half of all people declared, "Fuck you, I have no gender at all. I'm just me," why would THAT even be a problem?
You know, I really don't care. I find sex change kind of icky but in the end it's not my body being changed, so who the hell cares?
And next time you want liposuction or any kind of cosmetic surgery, Mesian, we'll throw you in jail because that will make you an aberration.
And if you're born with another debilitating mutation you should just accept it and probably die, right? If nature deals you a duff hand just put up, right?
And when nature gives you a curable disease you should just forego the treatment and die, right?
So everyone is an aberration, even yourself!
Crude explanation: Everyone initially develops as female, then Y chromosome genes kick in and sets off the chemicals needed to initiate the process of getting guy parts.
Funny how the people who are not affected by it, either by being transgendered, wanting a sex change, or having a family member, are so passionate about something that will never affect them.
Any surgeon who engages in this should immediately lose his license and serve time, and society should NEVER consider a person to belong to any other gender than the one nature gave her.
Well we probably can say that about any operation. Cancer, tumor, elective surgery, etc. So in essence all surgeons should be put to death because they are going against nature.
PS: I wonder if these people are against breast enlargements and general plastic surgery. It seems that lots of 'Christian' models are all for changing their natural appearance.
What if "nature" screws up? It happens all the time.. in fact, it is not uncommon for sex differentiation to not complete. The poor individuals have their gender chosen for them and undergo operations to make them male or female before they are old enough to know what the hell is even going on. Then they grow up, confused as hell and society calls them fags because whoever made the decision for them was wrong.
So... because nature made you without clothes, you also become an aberration if you wear them, right?
No? Well, what's the difference?
Ok, so nature hasn't made hermaphrodites or people with predisposition to sterility?. Ok, let's leave the way nature made us...............with predisposition for cancer, for example.

One Word: Hermaphrodites.
(I wonder if Mesian has seen "Star Trek: Voyager"? Species 8472 has several genders. Blown mind much, Mesian?)

Wait... is "aberration" even a word...?"
Bwahahahahaaaa.... Yes, Crownflame, "aberration" IS a word- page 2, Concise Oxford English Dictionary: "1- an unwelcome deviation from what is normal > (informal) a temporary mental lapse > (biology) a characteristic that deviates from a normal type.
There are two other definitions- for optics and astronomy.
Gawdz, that made me laugh.
As for Mesian- may he pass from this world loveless and lonely for having such bigoted views on gender-fluidity.
Simon Peter said to them, "Make Mary leave us, for females don't deserve life."
Jesus said, "Look, I will guide her to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every female who makes herself male will enter the kingdom of Heaven."
-Gospel of Thomas 114
I just dont get this line of reasoning.
"I replaced my penis with a vagina"
"Oh no! Society itself is sure to collapse. This is the end of civilisation."
Visual defects corrections shouldn't be permitted by a society, and it's the sign that our current society is sick beyond belief. Any surgeon who engages in this should immediately lose his license and serve time, and society should NEVER consider a person to belong to any other visual acuity than the one nature gave her.
If nature has made you a myopic or a hyperoptic, you will stay one. If you transgress this, you've just committed an aberration, and you've become an aberration yourself. You should be treated as such.
Fixed that for ya, Mesian...
Confused?
