This important procedure – yes what could be more important than doing expensive surgery on the face of a man who wants to look like a woman. Prosthetic limbs for children who have stepped on mines in Ukraine, Afghanistan, Yemen, Ethiopia, to name one category.

Still looks a lot like a man to me.
@1: Well, there’s a simple solution to that: More surgery! That will be another $50K, sir! Oh dammit, I mean ma’am, please don’t hit me!
Jesus, another pride month! This is a packed calendar.
“You will be unhappy forever and probably kill yourself unless you have various surgical procedures” says a company making stacks of money from performing those procedures.
I’m struggling to think of any psychological issue for which surgery is the primary recommended treatment.
@maddog1129:
Reconstructive surgery is often used to relieve psychological distress, such as after a car accident or cancer. And when people are born with an obvious deformity such as cleft palate or even just a huge nose, we fix it to give the disfigured a chance at a life where they can just blend in with everyone else. Which is why the transgender-identified constantly bewail their “mismatched brain” and “wrong puberty.” We’re supposed to see them as psychologically traumatized by the way they look. So much so that facial feminization plastic surgery is akin to building up a nose torn off by a neighbor’s post pubescent chimpanzee.
But they’re not mentally ill, and they don’t need treatment when they don’t want it. Being transgender is what’s in your head, not your body. It’s just that some psychologically sound individuals can get suicidal if they don’t “pass.”
I wouldn’t consider that guy the picture of mental health, but who really is? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks for the laugh Sastra!
Every month is pride month! Trans must be centered at all times, not just one month out of the year!
Second the thanks for the laugh, Sastra.
BTW here is something on the history of reconstructive surgery.
It’s mostly on people injured in WWI.
