“A man who allegedly posed as a doctor and castrated a transgendered woman at her request is to stand trial for aggravated assault… Catherine Watson, 45, told a judge she nearly bled to death from the procedure on September 12, which was done on the dining room table of her McKeesport home in Pittsburgh. She had to have hospital treatment… Ms Watson testified she is a transgendered woman who became ‘Catherine’ when she was 6. She found Lenhart through the Internet and agreed to pay him $800. He told her he was a doctor, but not licensed in Pennsylvania, and had performed 23 other castrations. Police say Lenhart has no medical license.” — Ananova (UK)

Here is a rule of thumb for people who feel as though they were born the wrong gender, trapped in the body of a woman, or otherwise transsexually frustrated: genital surgery is too serious a matter to be entrusted to amateurs and hobbyists. Castrations, amputations, the creation of artificial genitalia — these operations should never be performed on kitchen tables, sofa beds, bathtubs, or rented vans. If someone claiming to be a professional offers to perform such an operation for less than the cost of a downpayment on a house, consider doublechecking his credentials with the Better Business Bureau. Because even if you hate your genitalia, even if you hate your gender, surely you don’t hate your life too. Please, see a professional.
