On the topic of transexualism ....
From Mass Resistance
Mass Resistance-- a group desperately phobic and opposed to gender dysphorics. They tried to convince everyone that people in transition only wanted to molest 'decent people's' little daughters in public restrooms -- a disgusting and ridiculous assertion.
To the Massachusetts Judiciary Committee
Testimony regarding Bill H502

I'm a male-to-female transgender who lived and worked as Laura Jensen for years. Changing genders is zany, exciting and fun at first, but many of us have discovered right away or years after changing genders that our lives turn to disappointment, sorrow and regret. The evidence of this extreme regret can be found in the staggering suicide rate for transgenders, reported to be 30 to 40%.
If this was ever 'zany' or 'fun' for this person, he was not gender dysphoric, but instead was sexually driven and had surgery for the wrong reasons. People do stupid things all the time, and some use their money, influence or other unwise methods to bypass the stringent system put into place by physicians and counselors to keep exactly this kind of thing from happening. There have been several similar testimonies put forward by people who thought they'd get a thrill out of trying life on the other side. Sadly, those who are truly dysphoric get painted with the same broad brush that Mass Resistance and too many others are only too happy to use.
The treatment success rate among gender dysphorics (who are distinguished from sexual thrill seekers like the one who testified above) is among the highest in medicine. Fewer than 3% regret having had the surgery, and most of what few regrets there are come from the lack of family, church and social acceptance the person finds afterward.
The staggering suicide rate mentioned of 30% to 40% does not exist among those who have transitioned and completed treatment, but refers instead to those who have not. I gave this statistic in an earlier post.
This testimony is an out and out lie. Mass Resistance found someone whose ill-conceived experience met their ideological needs, got him to write up the above, and submitted it to the Committee.
Fortunately, this kind of dishonest tactic usually does not work. Laws in other places (such as Connecticut) have been passed, and gender dysphorics there will now have legal protection from those who would do them harm simply because they possess an innate identity that differs from that of the common masses.
