are u in favor of the so called "sex change"?why?

Question

if possible give some advantages and disadvantages of having sex change.

Answer 1

Advantages consist of finally being able to correctly gender identify yourself and having society see you as you always have. Disadvantages would be the recovery time after surgery and a heck of a lot of money.

Answer 2

Definitely in favor. I've never understood why people's bodies and their choices with them were anyone else's business. Why can't you change your body when you want? Anybody can stroll into a plastic surgeon's office and have any number of procedures done, but someone wanting to change their sex has to jump through a million different hoops to get an OK. If a man wants to get a vagina installed, he must prove he is internally a woman- but why couldn't he just do that anyways, admitting to not having gender dysphoria but wanting that nonetheless?

There are many advantages and disadvantages, and I agree that it's not for everyone, but many people's lives have been tremendously changed in positive ways by altering their biological sex.

Answer 3

No i am definitely not in favour of the so called " sex changes" which are in effect nothing more than surgical mutilation of a perfectly good human being.The operations sterilize the patient and leave then needing hormone suppliments for the rest of their lives so that they can masquerade ( often badly) as the opposite sex. I know a number of mtf sex change cases and in three cases the transexual in question finally decided that they were " actually a lesbian who was trapped in a mans body " and went on to have sex with women which they could have done as a man..

Answer 4

All I am going to say is this. If a person feels like they want to or has too. I am in support of them.

The disadvantage is the cost. It isnt like calling a tree service to cut down a tree for a couple hundred dollars. You have to change the land all together. Then are you going to be happy with the situation.

Answer 5

Outside of unlicenced chop-shops, there's a lot of checks and balances designed to make sure that the only people approved for the surgery are those who's internal sense of gender is too far removed from their physical sex to ever be comfortable as the sex they were born as.

The biggest advantage is simply having a body that no longer feels "wrong" (or at least, feels less wrong.) A second advantage is the sense of greater "perrmission" to act according to the expectations of the gender one is transitioning to, but a lot of that one is social (ie. it wouldn't be an issue if society didn't have gender-based expectations for behaviour.)

The disadvantages - other than the hurdles one has to cross in order to get it - are the costs. You tend to lose a lot of the friends who knew you as your original gender, and sometimes even family refuses to accept who you are. It's expensive, and like most major surgeries, somewhat painful.

But overall, for most who are approved it's worth it. Like I said before, the steps to get it are more or less designed to weed out the people for whom it wouldn't be.

Answer 6

I am in favor. Here's why...

1) Most transsexuals KNOW from a very early age that they were supposed to be the opposite sex from which they were born. Their brain is hardwired for the other sex, so they spend their lives in a body that doesn't match how they truly feel inside.

2) Because of the gender dysphoria, many transgendered and transsexual people tend to be very depressed living a life in which they feel "trapped".

3) Before a transsexual can undergo the operation, most have spent MANY years in therapy, due to something called the Harry Benjamin Standards of Care, which is a "pathway" to transition that psycholgists have developed to make sure they are not doing the wrong thing.

4) Most transsexuals report being happier with their decision afterwards, and the way they live their life in their newly assigned sex.

5) After the transition is complete through the sex change, it makes dating easier because you don't have characteristics of both genders, it makes employment easier, because you don't look like one sex, but your driver's license says another (you can legally get your gender marker changed after you have had sexual reassignment surgery) it also makes things like going to a gym easier, or dealing with medical care easier, ect...

Answer 7

i for my area would discover that a turn off (someone honestly suggested come to papa or daddy to me - bleh). when you consider that I lot my toddler, i don't love my husband calling me toddler both. some human beings used to and likely nonetheless do call their spouses (fantastically round their children), mom/father, ma/pa, and different paternal names as signals of who the guy is or that individual's position contained in the nuclear family individuals. in case you experience that's extraordinary yet your spouse is pleased with it, possibly you may only call her that usually else the position and only not whenyou are being romantic or intimate no matter if that's a turnoff for you, or possibly both of you may arise with a popularity that both one in all you want to apply both each and each and every of the time or only in intimate circumstances...

Answer 8

In favor, I have dated some transexuals and they were born male but became female. they were really much happier in their female form!

it was obvious. they HAD to change.

Answer 9

How can anyone answer this question, unless they are trapped in the wrong bodies. We don't have the authority to comment.

Answer 10

You can never "change your sex". You can change your genitals, but you'll always BE the sex you were born as.
