Sex change for 12-year-old girl

And we thought this was bad… A court in Australia authorized a taxpayer-funded sex swap for a 12-year-old girl, despite her father’s objections (the mother is sad but supportive). 

The child’s lawyer told the court she considered the girl capable of making an informed decision.

The girl is one of the youngest patients in Australia granted permission to begin a sex swap.

The court was told early intervention was needed because the child was stressed and anxious at the prospect of starting her period and had threatened self-harm.

Hormones implanted under her skin every three months will stop her menstruating and prevent her hips and breasts growing.

The court heard the hormone therapy was reversible and would give the family “breathing time”.
A further court application must be lodged in coming years for testosterone treatment to deepen her voice and promote growth of facial hair and muscles.

Surgery to remove her womb or ovaries, or build an artificial penis must wait until she is at least 18.

Excuse me, I need to go take a crazy pill…
