For Sexual Reassignment
Many people
believe that everyone has a right to do to their body as they wish. In some
cultures, mutilation is just a part of life, and in most Western cultures,
tattoos are fairly common.
Arguments Supporting Sexual Reassignment
Arguments Supporting Sexual Reassignment
- Doctors have an obligation to treat their patients. The outcome—somebody feeling comfortable in their own body—should outweigh the doctor’s own beliefs.
- Gender Identity Disorder is debilitating, and sexual reassignment helps to remove the feeling of wrongness.
- Attempting to cure Gender Identity Disorder is wrong. Transition works and helps patients to feel comfortable in their bodies.
- People are treated for mental illnesses using therapy, medication, and surgery. As Gender Identity Disorder is still classified as a chemical imbalance, it should be treated the same.
- We have the right to change our physical appearance, through face-lifts and similar surgeries, to feel more comfortable in our skin. Why shouldn’t we be able to get sexual reassignment for the same outcome?
