SRS - must you mutilate your self to become a "real" woman?

[wenndwong]

I disagree with the term "mutilate." Mutilation is when someone does a DIY job on themselves, but when a surgeon does it, it's an "alteration."

I can see the rigid Dr. Benjamin Guildlines for minors, but why should I as someone in their late 40's, no wife, no kids, should go through hoops and bucks, which would be better spent on surgery and transitioning.

Too bad no one has replaced Dr. Kimmel as the only surgeon "willing" to removed a guy's balls, gonads, nuts et al, without all the BS. We all know that castration is permanent.

If a guy wants to become a girl, why not. If surgery makes them fell more like a "real" women, why not! It's nobody's business!-WDW
