'Fake doctor boosted woman's bottom with home-made implant containing cement andsuper glue' (and this is a picture of HIM) Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2063538/Fake-doctor-Oneal-Ron-Morris-boosted-womans-home-implant.html#ixzz1eINQaQ00
First off, I finally succeeded in joining as a contributor so I can create posts rather than commenting on others, unfortunately though this comes in the second to last week.
In the article found above, a male who identifies himself as a female (and also falsely identifies himself as a doctor) horribly marred his body in the quest for a more curvy and feminine body. He then went on to repeat the procedure on patients who believed he was a plastic surgeon. In the article, pictures are posted of how horribly his backside was deformed by the procedure, which involved injecting concrete and a deadly mix of chemicals directly into the flesh. What is also striking about the picture is how hard it is to recognize his masculine form. Before the procedure, he would have been unrecognizable as a man, but his quest for the perfect female form caused him to destroy his health, and also the health of others. Whether or not he has much life to live, he will be spending a good time in jail for the harm he caused to others. Does his unhappiness with the gender identity cause him to do such stupid things? Is it dangerous that something so simple as social uncomfortability can cause people to act so irrationally?

  1. I FIND INTERESTING THAT SO MUCH FOCUS HAS BEEN GIVEN TO GENDER PRONOUNS. WHILE THESE PRONOUNS, OF COURSE HAVE BOTH NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE AFFECTS ON PERCEPTION IT IS NEVER REALLY POSITIVE THAT WE TALK ABOUT. AND WHY WOULD WE? I UNDERSTAND THE NEED TO CHANGE THE EXPECTATIONS BASED ON GENDER AND SEX BECAUSE THEY ARE OFTEN REPRESSIVE AND NON-PROGRESSIVE. I THINK, AS LONG AS THERE IS A LACK OF ACCEPTANCE FOR DIFFERENT GENDER EXPECTATIONS AND ACTIONS ITS NOT GOING TO MATTER WHAT WE CALL EACH OTHER AS LONG AS WE CONTINUE TO USE DEVOLVING IDEALS, EXPECTATIONS etc.........
