Rare enough to only cost a tiny percentage of NHS budget and surgery is almost certainly cheaper than treating suicide attempts etc. If this 'makes your blood boil' your claim to open-mindedness is mistaken at best.

If its that deep seated why has he or she or whatever had a change of mind. It didn't stop a suicide attempt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muggins. Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 "She has developed breasts, wears her hair in a feminine bob and has dated several young men" I wonder if those lads have read the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guest1957 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 If its that deep seated why has he or she or whatever had a change of mind. It didn't stop a suicide attempt. Because we don't live in a perfect world with perfect diagnosis. There are however are large number of people who have had the procedure and have had their lives improved immeasurably as a result. Just because the approach hasn't prevented a suicide attempt in one case doesn't mean that many others haven't been prevented as a result of allowing those with this recognised and serious issue an option instead of facing the rest of their lives being trapped as someone they are not.

ROY Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 With a hard pushed NHS with services being closed down all the time yes damm right it makes my blood boil. I doubt it is a tiny percent of NHS budget when you consider the years of counselling etc they are supposed to have before undergoing gender reasignment as well as the surgeons wages and hormone treatment etc, and yes i am incredibly open minded if you disagree fine it no skin off my nose but we the taxpayer should see our money going elsewhere not to gender reasignment. Also consider what this will cost us for the reversal if that is at all possible!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROY Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 What makes your blood boil...transgenders or the amount spent? The amount spent, if you want gender reasignment go for it good luck to you but i dont think it should be paid for by tax payers, It also shows that somewhere along the line the strict counselling etc has failed!

jasper3 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 I have no problem with this..for a start i don't understand what that person is going through, and i have no medical expertise, if this person has worked , than no doubt he/she has paid taxes... this country often operates on people from other countries at our expense. without contributing to our country We pay thousands a week to keep people who have committed crimes, in prison yet our old folk who become ill with illnesses such as altzhimers need to pay for their own care...now that makes my blood boil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bb Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 I feel sorry for this person, he/she is obviously disturbed and has, apparently, been "dropped" by his/her family. I do believe that the medical profession has rushed things and let him/her down. I note that he/she has yet to have the full gender reassignment operation but has been working as a prostitute, the mind boggles! Yes, I'm upset at the money wasted by the NHS but my feelings go out to him/her, whilst I can't even begin to understand what he/she may be feeling, there's one very unhappy human being who hasn't had the help he/she needs.

ordnance Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 I have a friend that waited for two years in agony with a back problem before getting a operation. It irritates me when money is waisted on such unnecessary procedures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) If "it" has been working as a pro I'm doubting that "it" has paid any tax? Does everyone DESERVE to be happy?-I'm guessing we could all produce a lengthy list of people who dont.Shameless cry for attention,nothing more.

What are your thoughts on the amount spent on those who drink too much and need medical attention, just the cuts bruises and stomach pumping-not the cancers and liver problems in later life, which I would wager comes to a much larger amount than the total for gender reassignments in the UK.

I just think its a waste of money do all the ops they want after it all they are still a man. They are only kidding themselves people deserve treatment for medical conditions i don't see it as a medical condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 I have no problem with this one way or the other.There are many less deserving cases frittering away tax-payers money.I doubt if it's a 'life-style' choice issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It simply means there is a gap in your medical knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok so people with cancer can have a fortune spent on drugs to give them just a few months of life but it is wrong to spend money on people like this that could well save there lives as I see it she is suffering with depression.
