what do you think about sex change?

[ajami]

Everyone has a right to choose what or who they want to be.  We have no right to judge them or their choices but that is just my 2 cents on the subject.

[demaina]

People have the right to do whatever they want to their body.  It really isn't anyone's place to tell someone to do or not do something.  As far as being natural, I don't consider it to be natural.  But, then again, is putting make up on your face natural?  Personally I think it's not natural, but many people do it daily and no one attacks them for it.  Many women get their ears pierced and no one looks at that oddly.  Heck, people squeeze and stuff their bodies and feet into things to appear attractive and it isn't looked down upon if done "correctly" (i.e. they look good in these items).

Now, obviously this is major surgery that could possibly kill them (depending on what they are doing and such) so I'd hope they'd think about it long and hard before just deciding to change anything about themselves.  I'd hate for them to be like the women who get bigger *bleep* to please their partner only to want them reduced back to their original size later.

I'd also hope that they'd consider what they are getting into before changing.  Depending on where they live, this could possibly make them an outcast.  At the very least, people are going to be constantly judging whether this was right.  And then they need to consider the gender stereotypes that will be forced onto them.


Personally, considering all that, I'd hope they'd figure out a way to love themselves just how they are, but I wouldn't look down on them for changing.  Though, my opinion might be different if I was married to a guy who suddenly decided to have a sex change.  I don't think I'd be alright with it then, but we would have to discuss all the issue.

I don't fully understand it...but I do know that some people just don't feel like they are what they are.  So, everyone has a right to do what they want with their own bodies.  I just hope that those that are not comfortable with the sex they are do some real soul searching before going through with any surgeries, as there is always a risks with any kind of surgery.  But to each their own.

Both of these premises rely upon religious beliefs; "g-d" didn't make our bodies, our parents had more to do with that than some hypothetical egregore for which there is no substantiating evidence.  Such superstitious remarks emphasize what's wrong with religious proselytization.

"I suggest that the anthropomorphic g-d idea is not a harmless infirmity of human thought, but a very noxious fallacy, which is largely responsible for the calamities the world is at present enduring."

I don't think sex change is natural at all! Why would someone every want to ave a sex change? I don't understand that kind of thinking.

[cneimsn]

I'm with you.  We can't judge them unless you walk in their shoes.  We have no idea how they feel in their bodies and its not for us to decide anyone elses way of life. I think you should pay attention to your own life and let everyone else live theirs they way they want to, not for us to say.

For the most part, this topic has made me smile. As opposed to a lot of the gay related topics.

Thank you FC members! You restore a little bit of my faith in humanity (that is nearly always destroyed if I look at, say, Yahoo! news comment sections lol)

[masked_brown_guy]

I think it is a waste of time a resources if there are gay and homosexual rights. Then again some people love expensive things. I do not have anything against it but at the same time why should I even care if a person is a another person stuck in a undesirable body. That's why some people have kids, to get that person out of them.

God doesn't make any mistakes. If he made you one to be a male or female, then you should not make the change.

Funny that I was discussing this topic so early this morning and now it is posted. I think that whatever is in your heart to do is what you will follow. If that helps to maintain happiness in your life then hey do what you have to do.

[Red02102002]

  Yes if somebody like it if they 're bored and need a new life.
