Are people with gender dysphoria freaks?
Transsexual people can have ‘gender reassignment’, but until they’re 18 they’d be unlikely to go further than step 1. However, transsexual teens can be prescribed drugs to ‘block’ puberty. 1. First the person must live as a member of the opposite sex, full time, for at least a year. 2. After this, they would take either male or female hormones (depending on whether they wanted to become male or female) for at least a year – sometimes longer. These would soften body hair and cause breast development in men, and cause beard growth, a deeper voice and muscle development in women. 3. After this, they could have surgery to become a man or a woman permanently: a ‘sex change operation’.
