I read somewhere that the doctor and the hospital that first introduced this treatment has become so disgusted by the results that they have ceased providing it.
He is quite well known in his field and . His research is old, out of date and he is viewed not very positively for his biases and John Hopkins Hospital have discretely overturned the damage done by him
Do you consider genetics to be God's word? What if someone's born with a genetic disorder, do you consider it a sin to treat it?
But sexual identity is encoded in the brain, not in genes. Sex itself is encoded in genes, but sexual identity doesn't always align with it, and in these cases we have transsexual people. Since the brain is the most important part of a person, I think it makes more sense to consider it the starting point.
I don't think it's like that. The brain's biological features are just as objective as genes. A comparison with anorexia doesn't work here, because anorexia is a problem with the brain itself. When it comes to transsexuality, the brain itself is healthy, the body itself is healthy too, they just don't match. There's a way, not perfect yet but getting better, of making the body match the brain. There's no currently known way to do the opposite, and match the brain with the body. And that would introduce new ethical problems, because the brain is the essence of a person, so changing stuff in it can be more questionable than changing the body.
Transsexuality isn't a matter of conscious choice. People don't choose their gender identity.
You're quoting Breitbart. I wouldn't believe Bannon if he told me the sun rose in the east.
Their are biological and psychological components to sex and gender. For example, there are certain rare cases in which a person as a child grows a sex organ of the sex opposite to their DNA.
