nis and trying to fashion a vagina is on a whole different level, in so many ways.
Dr Louise Irvine, the co-chairwoman of the Clinical Advisory Network on Sex and Gender, said: “If this surgery is intended to relieve gender dysphoria then as far as we know there is no research to show how effective it is, but we know that there is a high level of complications such as infertility, loss of sexual function, scarring and urinary problems.
“This is a very profound surgery with long term effects on very young men, many of whom will have comorbidities such as mental health issues or autism for which they don’t receive any assessment or care in an adult gender clinic.
“The NHS is currently doing a review of adult gender services but not surgery. We think it is a matter of absolute urgency that they review surgery. They should look at the evidence and the demographic and ask is this the best way to help young men with gender dysphoria?
“It is highly irresponsible for the NHS to doing this surgery without any good evidence that it is beneficial. It is negligent, unethical and there should be an urgent review.”
Stephanie Davies-Arai, the founder of Transgender Trend, added: “This is the same cohort of young people who have been indoctrinated as children into believing that they have a gender identity and that they are trans who are now being referred into adult clinics and for these surgeries.
“These are serious procedures on young people and the NHS is spending millions on what is really elective surgeries with no health benefits but clear health risks and harm.
“This is not what medicine is for, it is not what a health service is for. This is irreversible and it will leave these young people with medical problems for the rest of their lives with the NHS will have to deal with.”
Exactly. This is not what medicine is for, and it's not what a health service is for.
