The Journey
The example of my life shows that "sex change" surgery is a fraud. Sex change surgery is cosmetic only, and one that is designed to promote a fake gender. DNA will prove that the surgical procedure is a fraud. In fact, I consider sex change surgery to be the biggest medical fraud in history and nothing more than genital mutilation.
There are thousands of others like me, who underwent the surgery and now know it to be a fraud, but the people are far too embarrassed to come forward.
It might be easy to dismiss my opinions as just one man’s story, but let me introduce you to others with opinions and research that support my personal experience:
Paul McHugh, M.D.
Dr. Paul McHugh
Paul McHugh, M.D., served as the co-chairman of the Ethics Committee at the American College of 
Neuropsychopharmacology, and on the Board of The American Scholar. He is the University Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University and a member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences. McHugh’s writings include Genes, Brain and Behavior (1991) and essays on assisted suicide and the misuse of psychiatry.
McHugh over the years has decried the practice of “sex change” surgery. McHugh had long believed that psychiatrists should treat such patients with the talking cure, not radical, irreversible surgeries.
McHugh lambasted transsexual surgery as “perhaps, with the exception of frontal lobotomy, the most radical therapy ever encouraged by twentieth century psychiatrists.” (“Psychiatric Misadventures”, The American Scholar, Autumn 1992)
McHugh tells this story:
“Yet, if you justify augmenting breasts for women who feel underendowed, why not do it and more for the man who wants to be a woman? A plastic surgeon at Johns Hopkins provided the voice of reality for me on this matter based on his practice and his natural awe at the mystery of the body. One day while we were talking about it, he said to me: ‘Imagine what it’s like to get up at dawn and think about spending the day slashing with a knife at perfectly well-formed organs, because you psychiatrists do not understand what is the problem here but hope surgery may do the poor wretch some good.’ ”
Dr. McHugh revealed his concerns, compiled through his experience of the last thirty or so years, in his strongest words yet in his article “Surgical Sex”:
“I have witnessed a great deal of damage from sex-reassignment… we psychiatrists have been distracted from studying the causes and natures of their mental misdirections by preparing them for surgery and for a life in the other sex. We have wasted scientific and technical resources and damaged our professional credibility by collaborating with madness rather than trying to study, cure, and ultimately prevent it.” (italics mine) (“Surgical Sex”, Hopkins University, First Things, November, 2004, volume 147, pp. 34-38)
Dr. McHugh has urged the psychiatric community to discourage anyone from seeking the surgery, and instead replace the use of such radical surgery with psychiatric research that could discover the underlying cause of the desire to abandon one’s birth gender.
Dr. Renee Richards
Let’s take another point-of-view—this time from a tennis pro physician who made headlines across the country when he underwent “sex 
change” surgery, Dr. Rene Richards. The headlines reported the excitement with which he anticipated having the surgery. What would “she” say later? Dr. Renee Richards states in an interview with Tennis magazine in March, 1999, twenty-four years after her well-publicized surgery:
“I wish that there could have been an alternative way, but there wasn't in 1975. If there was a drug that I could have taken that would have reduced the pressure, I would have been better off staying the way I was -- a totally intact person. I know deep down that I'm a second-class woman. I get a lot of inquiries from would-be transsexuals, but I don't want anyone to hold me out as an example to follow. Today there are better choices, including medication, for dealing with the compulsion to crossdress and the depression that comes from gender confusion. As far as being fulfilled as a woman, I'm not as fulfilled as I dreamed of being. I get a lot of letters from people who are considering having this operation...and I discourage them all.” (Dr. Renee Richards in Tennis Magazine, March, 1999, "The Liaison Legacy," p. 31-32)
Dr. Paul Walker
Dr. Paul Walker, a co-founder of the Harry Benjamin
International Gender Dysphoria Association (HBIGDA), and the psychologist who approved me for surgery, said in his letter to me in May, 1990:
“I had seen too many cases of post-surgical regret, in people treated elsewhere…” and “Clearly, a lesson from your tragedy is that the alcohol/drug abuse must be addressed first, before the alleged gender issues…”
My Conclusion and Appeal
I appeal to medical professionals to stop calling the surgery ‘treatment’. Call it like it is—a lifestyle choice. Stop cutting body parts off those who need a real answer for their mental and psychiatric illnesses. Refer them to psychological professionals who will conduct deep therapy and bring them the corresponding deep healing. Tell the patients the truth—that having surgery may only compound their problems.
Dr. McHugh’s words strongly resonate with my own opinion of “sex change” surgery—that we are “collaborating with madness.”
