I hear about so many of these 'trans' people regretting the surgery, what then!
I'm sorry but I cannot open my mind on this subject, my mind is made up and just won;t budge as much as I try understand it. This is me being truthful, to some that may seem like I am judgemental, perhaps I am then, I dunno.
Coincidentally, I have just watched the (old) Coronation Street episode in which Hayley comes clean to Roy Cropper about how she was a bloke.
Roy found it impossible to comprehend her/his situation and, to be honest, I found it difficult not to feel sorry for them both.
To be honest, I believe that the relatively recent advances in surgery to enable the conversion of one sex to the other has opened up a can of worms.
In the old days, people were aware of the existence of inverts and such people seemed to manage to form relationships with others of their kinds.
Now we see some taking advantage of a male physique and converting it into a 'female' body simply to cheat in competitive 'sport'. There has to be something wrong with that.
