I am outraged that a transsexual adolescent psychological treatment that has the authorization their parents and doctor to perform a sexual reassignment process also need to ask permission from a judge. A judge is not necessarily an expert on transsexualism and, probably, without a gender perspective. You may even play a judge with transphobic prejudice. I was wandering
thinking about these things when I found an article on the subject surprisingly flawless. It is signed by Emilio de Benito in THE COUNTRY. The first pleasant surprise is that it speaks of female transsexual and assigns a name of a woman, Mary. It is the first I've heard in the media refer to it according to the genre that has chosen to live and not to sex with that nation. The second pleasant surprise is the diversity of sources to which go, not just the usual doctors, judges and politicians, but a number of collective-rights of transsexuals. The third and probably most unexpected surprise is that it introduces the discussion of gender dysphoria: giving voice to those who argue that transsexuality is not a disease.
Without further ado, I invite you to read: Judges
doctors stuck
Emilio de Benito
A judge is holding facilitate or retard that Mary, 16, have a normal life. The young transsexual (name) has been in the past year and a half hormones to have the woman's body with which it identifies. Surely dresses and behaves like the girl who feels it, even if it cost him to change school and a rejection that has led him to attempt suicide. Now it has requested authorization to go further surgery to modify masculine traits with which he was born. His family and doctor agree. But that is not enough.
