He asked her some questions, and she gave answers that made no sense to the question of sex reassignment, but instead of doing further psychiatric evaluation to make sure she knew what she was doing, he just decided to go forward with the reassignment, including a double mastectomy. Just a few weeks before the mastectomy, she was found walking naked out on the street and was taken to the hospital, where she was found to have been in a manic state. Turns out she believed she was destined to be Jesus and the purpose of the sex reassignment was to help her along that. Just to think if she had actually gotten the double mastectomy because the doctors couldn't have bothered to perform a simple mental status exam--which I think should be required for any sex reassignment--on her.<br /><br />There was a case out of the Netherlands as well of a man who had been on female hormones for 6 years and was admitted to the hospital when he was experiencing psychosis. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia and when that was treated, his desire for sex reassignment went away--looks like psychosis can warp your perception of your gender identity. Turns out he was just weeks away from sex reassignment surgery. Now he has to deal with induced gynecomastia and an atrophied penis. I'd say they at least owe him a mastectomy.<br />beneficiihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08107436044843445219noreply@blogger.com
