Okay. 1--Using the "she/he/it" statement is rude and not accurate and just plain mean.
2--Not that many people who get that operation feel that it's wrong afterwards. It happens, but not as often as you may think.
And 16 is a sort of immature age and there are things that you think you want at 16 that you probably won't later in life, like stupid band tattoos or something. But when it comes to something as big as that surgery, I'm sure that most people have put a lot of thought into it and are sure that they want it beforehand. And you have to be 18 to get this surgery anyway, so that gives them time to be absolutely positive about it.
And I'd like to see some of you who voted against this try living a way that you *know* you are not right for and despising your body and feeling wrong all the time, and see how quickly you change your minds about this. It's not something that any of them can control and they have a right to be happy with their bodies just like everyone else.
I don't even understand why any of you care. It doesn't effect your lives in any way, and these people with this condition just want to be happy, which is their basic human right.
Stop judging so much.
