I have even defended those who do not when ignorant douches here have said "if you're going to be a woman, cut your hog". The surgery is still not perfect, it can be expensive, the results are often undesirable, those who offer it are not always the best/safest, and people tend to regret how poor the results are. Having those results will absolutely cause many to regret their decisions and contemplate suicide. 
So what is you suggestion for a man that feels trapped in a woman's body; let him stay there? You would be against someone undergoing assignment surgery and tell them to just wear a dress, heels, and use the ladies room.




You're a smart guy, but, seriously, stop feigning ignorance on this martyr horseshit. No one is rejecting what he says because he believes in god. This very thing has been stated to you nearly a dozen times. It's the fact that he suggests behavior is wrong because it is at odds with his religious beliefs is what is being challenged.
No one is playing the martyr. Simply challenging the same tired catch phrase of "He ignores science, because of his religion", Hell that may have been said on here more than a dozen times. Folks feign on ignorance by suggesting a man such as Dr McHale ignores science. The behavior is "wrong" for reasons outside of religion




No, the fact that he suggests the brain is broken because it goes against his religion is enough. What exactly is wrong with living as that gender without having surgery that modifies the body? Why do they have to subject themselves to therapy aimed at "converting" them? We know that garbage doesn't work with sexual orientation. Do we think it'll work with gender identity? 

I was the one that said the brain is broken and it is; to deny that is ignoring science (Remember the gray matter study and the increased rate of suicide that expert at Transadvocate cited).  As awful as many here may think it is; sometimes you must conform to society instead of society conforming to you.

Kind of hard to win with this crowd. McHale cites a study that shows that Trans that have undergone surgery kills themselves much more than their peers. One who thinks McHale doesn't know what he is talking about says you can't blame that on the surgery; another says you can blame that on the surgery.
