I haven't talked much about Manning in this thread because I don't really have a strong opinion on her crimes or predicament or what have you. I do have a strong opinion about gender stuff, though. Sex reassignment surgery and hormone therapy are treatment options for gender dysphoria. They're not recommended in all cases, but they're available if a doctor deems them prudent.
As far as I'm concerned, this is no different than, say, a corpus callosotomy. There are many ways to treat seizures, but sometimes seizures can be stubbornly treatment-resistant. As a last resort, doctors can sever the two halves of the brain, and this can provide considerable relief for the patient.
Similarly, gender dysphoria is ultimately a neurological condition that sometimes doesn't respond to more mundane treatment options. In those cases, somewhat drastic measures are called for. Sex reassignment and/or hormone therapy can provide considerable relief.
Btw, it is gender dysphoria that is a psychiatric condition, because it is gender dysphoria that contributes to the psychological pain doctors see. Self-identifying as a gender other than your biological sex is not the psychiatric condition. That's just behaving in a way that doesn't accord with our cultural standards concerning gender.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

So, not knowing who Manning was, I assumed he was the quarterback who prayed before every play... I think he should have his d!ck chopped off too. If anyone would like to set up a crowdfunding for it, I'll kick in.There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.

I just don't get how gender as a concept is something he feels so strongly about but probably has only spent a cursory amount of time thinking about because he categorically denies the value of entire branches of science. Even more troubling is how he seems to be hung up on genetic fact rather than how the mind works. I've never seen someone so smart be so opposed to new information or ideas."I hope I get to punch you in the face one day" - MRT144, Imran Siddiqui
