1/ Dude. I went with ethical factors involved in butchering a boy to death for fun (his illusory goal) and profit (or ambition) for others. #SorryNotSorry if that bothers you. The complication rate for such surgery is FAR higher than usual, but I may write on that soon in detail.
2/ And, @sunbro100, you ignorant nut, NO, so-called "cis women" *shouldn't* get THIS surgery; a handful of girls got *proper* transplants from their mothers; 4 more with MRKH syndrome had new, half-functional vaginas constructed from their vulva cells.
3/ I realize you're most likely medically illiterate, @sunbro100, but the particular surgery done in this case is highly dangerous, is liable to a very high complication rate, has bad side-effects, AND isn't going to lead to eventual satisfaction anyway despite all agitprop
4/n Having a vaginoplasty using bowel tissue is a really bad idea. Unless absolutely needed, any vaginoplasty in any case is contraindicated. There's always complication risks. Using bowel tissue raises risks by magnitudes, & has unfortunate side-effects. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

1st point of that paper just inadequately rehashes old ground, i.e. any injection can be viewed as physical assault: covered routinely in med ethics & ed, no?
2nd point seems mere emo over-extension, claiming thusly all mandates are like sexual harassment
i.e. you can argue/state that if someone really wants to refuse a vaccination, they have a right to.
You're on far more shaky, illegitimate ground if you then contend that means vaccination-refusers are not liable to effects of mandates (e.g. employment in #healthcare work)
Yeah, no, this paper is total emo crap. From that paper:
Shot:
"We will thus be discussing issues that are so emotionally loaded, and in so many ways, that it is difficult to undertake a dispassionate discussion without potentially arousing virulent anger..."
The entire slogan about parents not 'owning' their children is a bogus duplicity, relying on ambiguity. As for shocking behavior, claiming that minors *need* health-harming medications and destructive surgeries to 'be themselves' is magnitudes more shocking.
Reminder: this operation:
— was inherently highly dangerous
— at the same time as completely unnecessary;
— used a risky procedure because of previous puberty-blockers;
— would have had an unsatisfactory outcome even if successful;
— caused his death.
This requires repeating 3 points:
a/ Medicalizing minors in ways that directly act against body health is simply wrong. All arguments for transition rely on very dodgy psychological claims, because negative effects on physical health are just too obvious.
"Hi, this is my first arrival in this city & I don't have any friend around. I wanna seek a man of maturity w/ a sense of humor. I saw your profiles and tweets & thought you might be the one whom I am looking for".
No.
First off, even my best friends will tell you flat out that I have absolutely no maturity. Me and maturity are like opposing anti-particles.
Second, I have no sense of humor whatsoever. None. Nada. Zilch. Also, I am extremely boring.
Minute later, another:
"Midnight here. I lost my sleep, was thinking if I can share something I won't talk w/ people close 2 me. You know keeping a secret is hard. I don't want to be annoying. If you once had a broken heart or you are kind, We could be on whatsapp, here is my ID"
I don't know who needs to hear this*, but you. do. NOT. get. a. payday. loan. EVER.
Payday loans are the loansharks' big weapon. They will destroy you. You think your situation *now* is bad? You will be *destroyed* if you take out a #PaydayLoan, just a little later in time.
If you're a friend of mine, ffs you reach out to me. Maybe I can help, maybe I can't, but you at least make that effort, idiot, before you take out a payday loan. No, I simply don't have the necessities to haul you out of the grave hole you'll dig for yourself with a payday loan.
*I actually do know some who need to hear this, but I'm being diplomatic, you idiots. I'm glaring at you so hard my monitor & a massive under-ocean fiber-optic cable are beginning to melt, so I'll leave it at that. DON'T do it; reach out BEFORE.
I can see this happening; it's very unusual, but quite plausible. Cheetahs are far more friendly or not hostile to humans than leopards, lions or tigers are. Yes, you can make friends with baby lions. I don't recommend that, tho. But cheetahs are chill.

Yes, some have halfway domesticated or befriended wild lions, cue Joy Adamson & Elsa, & the hilarious story from Desmond Morris. If you feel morbid & you want some depression, cue "The Lion", by Joseph Kessel. I don't recommend you do this. I wouldn't.
Problem is when that lion or tiger cub hits puberty. Cue some flames from the usual suspects, sneering at 'popsci evo psych'. Once a lion/ess hits puberty, the behaviour WILL change, & it can get very dangerous; that has lethally happened.
But cheetahs? Cheetahs are chill, cool.
