It is not “sex-reassignment” surgery.

It is mutilation of a body where every nucleus of every cell of the body continues to cry out the body’s gender, regardless of the mutilation and regardless of the lifetime of massive doses of hormones and drugs.

It is all, 100% pretense to satisfy an obsession carried in a mind struggling with a mental problem, an identity dysphoria. It requires strong, compassionate, continuous and consistent professional help getting the young mind out of it’s obsession.

Yes, it’s a struggle akin to getting out of the worst addictions. The easy path, the comfortable path, just like satisfying an addiction is to satisfy the obsession. Yes, that is the path of least resistance, the “calmer” path. Yet, it is never 100% satisfying. The body does not lie about its gender, it’s written in every cell.

What young “transgender” persons need is not adults who will become the enablers of the obsession their child is inflicted with, but adults who will help them through the struggle to end the control of the obsession.
