Transsexual

Research on long term psychological effects of SRS

"A 2011 study at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden produced the most illuminating results yet regarding the transgendered, evidence that should give advocates pause. The long-term study—up to 30 years—followed 324 people who had sex-reassignment surgery. The study revealed that beginning about 10 years after having the surgery, the transgendered began to experience increasing mental difficulties. Most shockingly, their suicide mortality rose almost 20-fold above the comparable non transgender population."

But what is the point of posting that "information"?  

Why would YOU feel the need to post that...HERE...?

Blah blah blah. Perhaps the average experiences you've gotten are your own fault? It doesn't surprise me that someone who feels the need to post what you posted isn't able to get the best out of a girl.

by many commentors, some of whom raise to the layman (me) allegations of fact that severely challenge the validity of the author's views.  Here is one of those comments:

" 1) Dr XXXXX's views differ markedly from those of the American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the American Psychiatric Society, the American Public Health Association, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, and indeed every other professional medical organisation. This should have been at least mentioned.

2) Until recently, he was the Vatican's advisor on sexual matters, and is on record as saying that there is no pedophilia problem in the Church, all the victims are lying. To portray him as anything other than extremely partisan is lying by omission.

3) He proudly boasts that it was his intention to shut down the gender centre in Johns Hopkins before he even joined it. On religious grounds. See his article "Psychiatric Misadventures".  "

It's possible you are correct but the article was quoting a very long term research. It's a warning sign that's all I am saying.

Do you have links or can you source the points you made? It will be interesting to know :)

You mean that formerly respected newspaper that's become just another cog in the Rupert Murdoch right-wing propaganda and smear machine? If the OP had originally mentioned that from the start, I wouldn't have even bothered with the rest of the post.

... preconceived notions based on ignorance or own feelings of insecurity. Get to KNOW a post-op TS woman for yourself ... not as a right wing slanted statistic, but as a human being.
