Good on him really. I don't get involved,
But that doesn't mean I wont cheerlead for those who are taking positive action-- as long as no one was hurt.
If you can't commend him for stepping up and doing something about the sale and mass marketing of dick-chopping as a legitimate elective procedure, then I don't know what to tell you except that you are mentally deranged and propagating a service that markets itself as Gender Reassignment Surgery, but it does NOT reassign your gender.
Do pokesan and others really find nothing wrong with the fraudulent marketing package that's behind this surgery? Its being sold as some kind of end-game to transition, when it has absolutely nothing to do with it, as it CANNOT deliver on the name of the surgery in any way shape or form.
Post here if you agree or disagree with his actions, so we can tell the difference between you, and where you all stand on P99.

It is more commonly referred to as Sex Reassignment Surgery due to the proposition that gender is a social construct and individuals afflicted by gender dysphoria are already members of the gender with which they identify. While gender is obviously not a social construct, the idea that people can be grouped based on behavioral disposition or presentation is not novel. People can be feminine or masculine. Not all feminine people are women and not all masculine people are men.
That being said SRS is still a misleading term because as you indicate, it most certainly does not reassign one's sex. It is a cosmetic procedure intended to simulate form and function of the desired sex's visible sex organs. It is interesting though that Canda refers to it as Gender Confirmation Surgery. Seems odd give the strongly argued differences between sex and gender. If someone identifies as the opposite gender, why must they validate their identity via alteration of sex organs or other body modification? Looks like a betrayal of the idea that gender and sex are wholly separate things. It is just a product of the ridiculous attempt to inject divisiveness wherever possible though.
Some men want to be women and some women want to be men. It doesn't mean they actually are, but what is wrong with striving to be as close as possible to it if not harming anyone or disrupting anything? Refusing to recognize the immutable nature of one's sex is what leads to situations like this though where an individual has been told by professionals that they really
are what they want to be and then oh looky there, this procedure is how you
confirm it. These sorts of procedures are fine when you have rational individuals choosing to undergo them, but problems arise when you offer the services to those who are deluded or misled. You can only be happy with the results if you understand what they are beforehand.
