The young man complains that the doctors did not inform him about the changes that such an operation will bring to his body, which, unfortunately, left him sterile (!), While he now has problems with incontinence.
A young Briton who had his genitals removed during gender reassignment surgery, sues the British Health System (NHS).
Specifically, as the “Daily Mail” writes, the young man complains that the doctors did not inform him about the changes that such an operation will bring to his body, which, unfortunately, left him sterile (!), While now he also faces incontinence problems. .
As he wrote on Twitter, using a pseudonym because he is ashamed, “The moment I woke up from the surgery, I knew I had made the biggest mistake of my life».
Activists report that this is the first case of medical malpractice concerning the care of transgender people in the UK health care system.
THE Stephanie Davies-Araihead of a group advising parents of transgender children and young adults, said: “Hopefully this will force the NHS to reconsider these barbaric surgeries on patients whom doctors say will help. Indeed, the young man has been harmed».
His case has been taken over by lawyers in Liverpool. The 30-year-old man grew up in the North of England. He claims to be homosexual and that his sexuality should have been discussed before radical and irreversible sex surgery. «I have been castrated. That’s the right term. ” says the 30-year-old characteristically. “Doctors never asked me if I would like to freeze my sperm or have children in the future.».
Although he knew from a young age that he was gay, he was afraid to admit it. «Everyone in my family made jokes and expressed their disapproval of homosexualsHe admits.
Thus, the young man found solace in the world of cyberspace, where it was the only place that made him feel safe and peaceful. There he discovered an online forum called “Angels”, which was aimed at trans women – men, who want to proceed with gender reassignment. His online “friends” urged him not to have second thoughts and to make the decision to proceed with this gender reassignment surgery.
He took female hormone drugs, which he bought privately and was later prescribed by his GP and an NHS adult sex clinic, to suppress his male “characteristics” and make him look more feminine. When a psychiatrist asked him if he wanted sex reassignment surgery, he delayed doing so for two years because he had several doubts. «Eventually, I found myself on the operating table. As soon as I woke up from the surgery, I knew I had made the biggest mistake of my life“, reveals.
Describes his nightmare of waking up, as he says, and forgets that he has lost his penis and scrotum. «“I’ve been waiting for something that has been there for three decades and it is not.” And he adds: “It takes me about 10 minutes to empty my bladder. What is happening to me is extremely painful».
