[Samantha Rogers]

I read this man's biography. He is an unfeeling asshole. He successfully fought to shut down the gender identity unit at Johns Hopkins permanently. He opposes embryonic stem cell research on religious grounds. And there is the real problem. He is one of those sub moronic pukes who thinks his religious values give him the right to resrict the freedoms of others. Moreover, his comments reflect an utter unfeeling disdain for TG as some sub human group needing to be fixed. His is the attitude that threw the mentally ill into Bedlam in olden days.

Having now vented my feelings about this monster as a person, let us look at his argument.
The nub or central theme of his argument is that post SRS TG are still possessed of "issues" and liable to get depressed and/or commit suicide, and that it is therefore stupid to operate on them in the first place.
Hogwash.
Blithering, right wing, homophobic cat puke.

That argument is akin to finding a person caught by huge boulders in a rock slide, and amutating a leg in order to stop the bleeding but then seeing that they still have rocks on their chest making breathing difficult, saying we should have left the leg and let them bleed to death.
And at the same time blaming them for getting buried by rocks to begin with.
The reason post SRS people still have difficulties is that society still oppresses them, ridicules them, discriminates against them and often even threatens them physically. Is it any wonder they remain depressed?
The problem is that society itself needs to be changed. And this is the exact kind of powerful and connected reactionary asshole fighting the very change that needs to occur.
What an utter dick. This is the face of evil.
