The Crane Center for Transgender Surgery in Austin bills itself as a world leader in operations for non-binary people – those who don’t identify exclusively with one gender.

The surgeries include giving patients a penis and vagina, or completely removing their sex organs, essentially ‘Barbie-dolling your genitals,’ as one critic put it.

admin

The world responds more positively to beautiful people. I see it every day — and I knew it back in my 30s when I had the first of my 12 full-scale cosmetic surgery operations.

I have always believed that if I can control how I look, then I can control how people feel about me. And I’m right — it has worked ridiculously well. I’m 68 but I look 25 years younger, minimum. 

In the 1980s, I had the very

admin

America’s leading child doctors are continuing to back transgender healthcare services for minors under 18 – despite concerns about long-term risks.  

The influential American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) voted to stand by its 2018 guidance that supports access to counseling, hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and occasionally surgery.

The decision to keep recommending the

In a new ad titled, “Parents,” Beshear says the attacks from Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron,

In total, 4,843 of England’s 6,400-plus GP surgeries (75.8 per cent) exceed the
