The ability of surgeons to help people who have been genitally damaged is laudable.
 
However.
 
Damage is one thing, attempting to change what is normal/nature is another.
 
We are not simple machines that can be added to or subtracted from without dire consequences. We are whole integrated creatures possessing billions of interrelated parts and systems--of which we have only an infantile understanding.
 
In short, don't fool with mother nature.
 
Physically or chemically altering a human body that is, at best, poorly understood, invites disaster.

 
 
PHARAONIC CIRCUMCISION (INFIBULATION)
Imagine you have just given birth to a beautiful baby girl. Shortly thereafter a doctor brings you a release form for genital surgery to be performed on her.
 
When asked why it needs to be done, the doctor explains that your child will be able to keep herself cleaner and that by exposing the clitoris sensations will be dulled and there will be a decreased chance of masturbation. urinary infection, cancer, and venereal disease. Also, you're told, just about everyone is having it done to their baby girls now and you would not want your little girl to be odd.
 
Although not done in this country, it is done to millions of young girls elsewhere in the world. This procedure is called Pharaonic circumcision, or infibulation.
 
Here is a description of how it's done around the world.
 
The child, completely naked, is made to sit on a low stool. Several women take hold of her and open her legs widely. After separating her outer and inner vulvar lips, the operator slices open the hood of the clitoris (the prepuce) and then reaches underneath the length of the clitoris with her finger to detach and pull out the organ entirely. The inner lips are now cut off and the skin from the inside of the larger lips is scraped with a knife so that the lips will eventually seal and narrow the vaginal opening."
 
The most severe form of pharaonic circumcision is the removal of the entire clitoris, the labia minora, and at least two-thirds of the labia majora. The two sides of the vulva are then stitched together by silk or catgut or even by thorns. Just a small opening is left, usually made by the insertion of a match stick, to permit the passage of blood and urine. The legs of the girl are then bound from hip to ankle for up to 40 days so that scar tissue will form to seal the opening. Infibulation is performed on young 7-year-old girls to make them more "acceptable" for marriage. It's insurance that a man indeed has a virgin.
 
Women who have been subjected to infibulation can often urinate only by drops and require 10 to 15 minutes to empty the bladder. Menstruation can last for 10 days or more and is extremely painful because of the retention of the flow. Infibulated women can become malodorous enough to prevent them from even being able to work among others.
 
When the women are married, they may then have to have the labial scar cut open to permit intercourse. When they give birth, they must also be incised to permit the passage of the newborn.
 
This crude procedure, done without any anesthesia, can cause profuse bleeding and even death. By scraping the vulvar lips the vaginal opening is essentially closed as healing and scarring follow. This is the most common form of deterrent to premarital sex in many Islamic countries. (Nonvirginity is also condemned by the Bible god.) Its importance is because women in these societies are considered property. They are unmarriageable if not virgin. Such nonvirgin women, instead of bringing a price to the parents upon marriage, would simply be a drain on the family. Over 100 million in Africa alone have had this procedure done.
 
 
EUNUCHS
Eunuchs were men who were neutered to guard harems or other women. "Castration" to create Eunuchs went as follows: The scrotum and the penis were grabbed and twisted. Once tightened at the base, a knife was then used to simply cut the entire affair off flush. A cork was then put in the urethral opening to prevent it from closing due to the scarring which would follow. Then there was simply a wait to see if he died from hemorrhage or infection. These mutilated men were left to guard women who had been likewise mutilated by infibulation.
 
Somehow this harem scene now loses its erotic flavor.
 
 
CIRCUMCISION
Male circumcision is the most common surgical procedure performed in the US. It's practiced for no rational medical, surgical, or religious reason.
 
At a time when the child should feel the warmth and love of a mother's and father's gentle embrace, they instead are locked into a restraining device. No anesthesia is given. No consent from the child is required and then the infant's normal body part is surgically excised.
 
We have been led to believe that circumcision for young boys is as safe and innocuous as trimming fingernails.
 
But here are a list of the possible complications: death, severe hemorrhage, urinary retention, lacerations of the penis and scrotal skin, excessive skin loss requiring surgical grafting, loss of the entire glans(end of the penis) or beveling and disfiguring of the glans, hypospadias deformity (the urethra empties on the under surface of the penis), epispadias deformity (the urethra empties on the upper surface of the penis), loss of the entire penis, keloids (scars), skin ridges, phimosis (attachment of what remains of the prepuce to the glans), meatal (urethral opening) stricture and/or ulceration, stitch tunnels (perforations left due to stitching), and pitted glans.
 
These unspoken complications can result in disfigurement and dysfunction for life.
 
We're not talking about a bad haircut here. These are considered pretty special body parts by men. Behaviorists can make a strong case for humans being predominantly sexual creatures. We're guided and molded from puberty on in terms of our sexuality. It pulls and pushes us in overt and subtle ways throughout life.
 
We are already genitally shy. Think of the emotional damage to young boys who have been disfigured, and to men who live in a society that measures worth in terms of attractiveness and sexuality. The penis may be damaged but self-esteem could be butchered. Indeed, a cruel yoke for a person to carry.

​
​Big Business
Circumcision is a lucrative industry.  In England, when doctors were no longer compensated for the procedure, its rate dropped to 1/2 of 1%. For doctors, the most important argument for circumcision is its profitability.
 
Myths That Maim
Circumcision is an irrational bias in constant search for justification and validation. The prepuce does not cause cancer, infection, venereal disease, masturbation, insanity, premature ejaculation, or uncleanliness.
 
Circumcision is subtractive surgery. If you subtract from the unit, what remains is less than the unit.
 
An Important Body Part
Functionally the prepuce is meant to cover the sensitive glans. At birth, the prepuce is adherent to the glans and protects the glans from infection and contamination from urine, feces, and so forth, especially during the diaper stage. Circumcision forcibly separates the prepuce from the glans allowing the glans to bathe in urine and feces.
 
The glans is normally an internal organ shielded by the prepuce other than at the time of sexual arousal. Circumcision needlessly bares the glans to injury and dulls its sensitivity through abrasion under clothing.
 
The prepuce is in effect the only moving part of the penis. During intercourse, the prepuce serves as a sleeve within which the penis can move. The prepuce in an adult is 12 square inches of erogenous and protective tissue, which is about the amount of area on a 3 x 5 index card. Without this sleeve there is, in effect, no moving part of the penis and a significant amount of erogenous tissue has been subtracted. Various sexual dysfunctions can result, particularly as both mates age.
 
Nobody understands the full impact of circumcision trauma on a developing infant. There is evidence that this cruel mutilation is implanted and can surface later in life as any number of psychological disturbances. (For more, see Say No to Circumcision! Thomas J. Ritter, M.D.)

TRANSGENDER SURGERY
Transgender surgery goes way beyond the genital mutilation of circumcision and infibulation.
 
Done to consenting adults is one thing. Doing it to children and minors is another since they are incapable of understanding the dangers and long-term consequences.
 
Having done thousands of surgeries, I know all too well that any surgery is an inherent wild card. Surgery is trauma. Surgeons make mistakes. The more complicated the procedure, the potential for mistakes is multiplied.
 
Trying to change genitalia is complicated, to say the least. The body, and especially the sex organs, are not Tinkertoys.
 
This is not to mention that every surgery would fail if the healing mechanisms of the body don't come to the rescue.
 
Male to Female Steps:
​

​Orchiectomy (castration)
   
Vaginoplasty
Tissue from the scrotum, penis, or colon is used to create a 'neo-vagina.' The tissue is inverted to form a pouch which is then inserted into a cavity created between the urethra and rectum. The urethra is partially removed, shortened, and repositioned.
 
Labiaplasty
Scrotal and inverted penile skin and fat harvested from elsewhere on the body are used to fabricate 'neo-labia.'
   
Clitiroplasty
Part of the glans penis is used to create a 'neo-clitoris.'
 
Other masculinizing procedures include:
Liposuction/Liposculpture
Gluteal Enhancement
Thyroid cartilage reduction (Adam’s Apple) Shave
Forehead Reduction/Contouring
Jawline/Chin Contouring
Rhinoplasty (nose shaping)
Voice Surgery

Female to Male Steps:
​

Ovariohysterectomy--removal of the uterus and ovaries
 
Vaginectomy-- removal of the vaginal mucosa and sealing of the opening
 
Phalloplasty--a large section of skin and tissue is used to form a 'neo-penis' shaft that is attached to the groin, or Metoidioplasty--a testosterone-enlarged clitoris is fabricated into a penis
 
Extend the urethra to permit urination while standing
 
Construct a scrotum and implant artificial testicles
 
Formation of a glans penis
 
Implant a device to enable erections.

Transgender Complications Include:
​

​Infection

Scar tissue restricting or blocking urine flow

Fistulas--abnormal openings of the urinary tract to the bowel or exterior of the body

Reduced blood flow resulting in phallic 9'neo-penis') loss in whole or in part

And this from a study of 129 postop patients
​
Results: Patients reported 281 complications requiring 142 revisions. The most common complications were urethrocutaneous fistula (n = 51, 40 percent), urethral stricture (n = 41, 32 percent), and worsened mental health (n = 25, 19 percent). The average erect neophallus after phalloplasty was 14.1 cm long vs 5.5 cm after metoidioplasty (P < .00001). Metoidioplasty patients report 4.8 out of 5 erogenous sensation, compared to 3.4 out of 5 for phalloplasty patients (P < .00001). Patients who underwent clitoris burial in addition to primary phalloplasty did not report change in erogenous sensation relative to primary phalloplasty patients without clitoris burial (P = .105) …

​Clinical implications: These results support anecdotal reports that complication rates following gender-affirming genital reconstruction are higher than are commonly reported in the surgical literature.
 
The above only begins the horrors that can result from transgender surgery. The hormones, antibiotics, psychotropics, and other drugs that are given are fraught with near- and long-term dangers such as cancer, heart disease, immune compromise, and psychological problems including deep depression, regret, self-mutilation, and suicide.
​
Before submitting yourself or your children to any manipulation through the use of drugs or surgery, think long and hard and become aware and informed.
