At least they won't have to Scotch tape everything back to where it belongs!

An addadicktome is indicated.

Women!! Just can't make up their minds. I assume that Britain prohibits counseling about the risks and stuff before the whacking.

"... but I'm not gender confused!"

But a patient with Cystic Fibrosis cannot receive life saving drugs (even if the company provides them free of charge.
GB is a sick country.

And the American Psychiatric Association says perversion is not a mental disorder.

That person should have been born an oyster, thus able to swap back and forth depending on the situation. or an earthworm, and swing both ways at the same time.

this mutilation of children shouldn't be allowed in the first place.

Has the entire nation lost their minds? Why would you allow a child to make this decision? When you have patients starving to death in hospitals, why would you invest taxpayer money? Why would you even think about spending more? He should go see Sir Elton, maybe he'll pay to change him back as part of his farm system.

"...when she became..." Ummmm, no. This person is not a "she". This person is a he. No amount of mutilation will change that. It is not the plumbing, it is the DNA.

The NHS refuses life saving treatments to many of the people in the scheme, but they allow a kid to make decisions that mutilate their body and their minds. Money that would have been better spent on saving the life of a actual well grounded human as opposed to satisfying the desire of some confused child, money thrown away..

There are extraordinarily rare instances of gender ambiguity, but this indulgence of mental illness with bodily mutilation is obscene.

Maybe, it just needs a wardrobe change. Straight jacket!

Ria is not and never has been "she". Ria is a mutilated male who wants his sex organs back. It's a crime that the people around him contributed to his confusion and mental illness rather than giving him the help he needs.

So the libs tell us teens who murder are too stupid to be punished because their brains are still mush, but those same libs tell us we have to pay for said teens to decide to cut off their privates?
Stupid libs are destroying the world.

and, what flavor ice cream would you like?

Let's hope the doc kept all the parts that were cut off. (S)he may change it's mind again.

I don't know, #2. Did it ever undergo the chaupadikofome?

Measure twice, cut once.

My take away from this story is that when boys take female hormones, they turn into Vicky Pollard.

At one time gender reassignment took years to complete, mainly due to intense counseling to make sure the person met the criteria for reassignment. But it's now viewed as a right leading to cases like this. Political correctness has thoroughly infected the medical profession.

Sounds like a good business opportunity for the Snap-on Tool company...

hat tip to #22

This proves that sitting down to urinate isn't all it's cracked up to be. Can I say that?

I think this person's problem isn't his/her sex.

Maybe they should just use velcro or set them up like Colorforms...

My thought also number 5.

Yea buster. Being a girl is NOT for sissies!

I saw go ahead and have the surgery, again. In a year or two you might change your mind, again. Have all the surgery you want but YOU pay for it.

Mutilating the body will not change the defining chromosome.

Is this important?

Apparently no surgery has yet been done, if I read this right. THis poor thing needs psychiatric, not surgical help. Did read where he wants to join the army now? Sleep tight, your Majesty, Ria Cooper's on guard.

How sad.

How preventable.

Um, was a boy all along. Wink wink, nudge nudge...say no more. Just that you ain't got the right equipment anymore. Pity, eh?

Now bugger off.

Thoroughly confused.

Btw ... you can be born physically female but genetically male, but not the other way round. We all start female.

Does a 17 year old ever know what they want ? A minor should not be able to make life altering decisions; maybe all they wanted was the attention.

Notice the article doesn't mention parents ?

I pity this poor, confused soul, and hope that someday he realizes the peace that comes from discovering the life God created for him to live. Search for that within your heart, not your jeans.
