Re: Gender Reassignment
What angers and seriously frustrates me about this is the hypocrisy and bias of the press/media. When ever there is a story which relates to the rights of LGBT being prevented, leaders and spokespeople from LGBT support groups and charities come out of the woodwork to make their point known because the press/media make a point of asking these people for their comments but as soon as we hear stories such as the one which is the main topic of this thread, a woman who has regretted transitioning to a male, suddenly ALL the LGBT voices quiet and the press/media do not go asking them to comment.What i find interesting in the BBC article is the fact that the woman's lawyers are going to challenge the legal standpoint of a child's 'informed consent' something which contradicts what the LGBT community have been fighting for. Over the years there have been many articles and interviews given by LGBT groups and supporters of LGBT whether it be from the medical profession or politicians in supporting the right of children to decide their own gender but now here we have a lawyer who is going to go to court and argue against everything that the LGBT community have been saying and stand for, just so the woman can win her case against the NHS

I seem to recall from a colleague whose daughter was having a nose job that they have to wait until 18 when the body is fully formed. It's likely to be the same with boob jobs and other cosmetic surgery. In gender reassignment I think 21 is the earliest they should agree to this. They body should be allowed to develop naturally otherwise there are lifelong unknown health and mental well being consequences. They should not be repressing puberty using drugs.
