I had come to expect better from you!<br><br>Cutting people's genitals off is just wrong, no matter what the reason, if they don't authorize it. I'm putting this story in the "creepy file", along with other forms of genital mutilation such as newborn circumcision and childhood gender reassignment.The NerdThu, 21 Aug 2008 12:04:47 -0000http://menstrualpoetry.com/obligatory-castration-transpeople#comment-1495394Huh? Where are you getting this from? How is this discriminatory? <br><br>This isn't a decision people take lightly. If people want to go through the process of sexual reassignment, I'm pretty sure they want it! <br><br>How about all those people who are miserable and just want to get it done instead of waiting?News TagsThu, 14 Aug 2008 21:53:39 -0000http://menstrualpoetry.com/obligatory-castration-transpeople#comment-1495391Okay - so - they say they want to go through gender re-assignment..so..what's the big deal? Either they go all the way or they don't, right? If they are a male wanting to be a female - then to do so wouldn't they need to lose their testicles and vice versa? Just saying....The BoBoTue, 12 Aug 2008 22:03:44 -0000http://menstrualpoetry.com/obligatory-castration-transpeople#comment-1495393I agree with you. I thought that Sweden was pretty tolerant of these things. It would definitely seem as if this decision goes against their best interests.AdamTue, 12 Aug 2008 11:00:12 -0000http://menstrualpoetry.com/obligatory-castration-transpeople#comment-1495392How sad. People are always threatened by those who don't fit into what is considered socially normal. It is out of fear.RachelTue, 12 Aug 2008 10:46:42 -0000
