Women mutilate themselves to pretend to be men

"This "boy" just had top surgery and is sitting there boobless. I'm sitting here boobless too, and I want to tell you how the process has been so far.

"He" goes into surgery, and hours later they come and tell me he's ready, that I can see him. I go to the recovery room and his surgeon is crouched over "him," and blood is pouring out of his scars. It's disgusting. And they say we have to take him back in. And I said, okay.

His right boob wasn't going out without a fight. A blood vessel burst. There was blood everywhere. They had to put him under again and fix it.

Unfortunately, we lost his armpit hair in the process. Only the right one. The other one wasn't shaved."

Long-term Risks and Mental Health
Although surgical mortality rates are low, some studies have observed long-term risks to the mental and physical health of individuals who undergo these surgeries:

A study in Sweden found that transgender individuals who underwent sex reassignment surgery had a significantly higher risk of mortality, suicide attempts, and hospitalization for psychiatric disorders compared to the general population.

In Denmark, research showed that although there were no significant differences in somatic morbidity or mortality between male-to-female and female-to-male transgender individuals, approximately 1 in 10 had died after surgery, with an average age of death of 53.5 years.

These findings suggest that while sex reassignment surgeries have low surgical mortality rates, it is crucial to consider and address the long-term risks to the mental and physical health of patients.
