Yeah. I'm reading 'Irreversible damage' by Abigail Shrier at the moment, and one of the 'rogue' psychiatrists she interviews, Dr Paul McHugh (he's the man who back in the 70s closed down the transsexual surgery wing of John Hopkins because he thought giving out these experimental surgeries was irresponsible), says that it's impossible to know in advance which people will be happier (or at least stable), and which ones will spiral into depression after the genital surgery. My take on that is that the more resilient ones just accept what they've done and move on, and the more mentally fragile ones can't cope.Exactly, they finally learn just because it (very very mildly) looks similar to a dick or vag does not make it one, not even close.
And he's talking about adults; in the case of children like Jaron... my bets are for sure with the second group.
