This strikes me as very weird, because the financial cost of such surgery (and years of subsequent treatment) would only be available to families with the kind of means that would make the ‘cost’ of having a girl less dire. Something is off here.

Yeah, this strikes me as EXTREMELY implausible. There is no way to change a baby girl into a baby boy with one operation; to do it at all would require years of revision surgeries, hormone treatments, etc., on top of the initial $3,000, which is a huge amount of money in rural India. These ‘boys’ would never be able to father children, which seems as though it would limit their (arranged) marriage prospects pretty severely. Either this an urban legend, or it’s some sort of scam being perpetrated on the families.

It is clear the journalist has never been to india and that the journalist has no comprehension of sex reasignment surgery on adults or children.

This racist fabrication was also covered in Pink News.

There is no way to get a fully functioning penis with the technology level at present. Most sex reasignment surgeries to male of an intersex child have failed miserably. Also the cross sex hormone treatment required to bring on a puberty would mean that the child would be under permanent medical control. In India the cost of that would be unaffordable for anyone but the top 1% of the society, who could just afford to ultrasound and abort anyway if they so wished.

Giving a child hormones at 5 years of age would not occur even in an intersex child being reasigned.

Also assuming the child was sucessfully sex reasigned, the child would be 100% sterile.

I would not only question the accuracy of this report, but bluntly state it is completely and utterly fabricated.

In India there is a very big problem with parents using ultrasound and sometimes genetic testing to determine if a child is a boy or girl and aborting the girls. An abortion is a lot cheaper, as in 2% to 10% of the cost, depending on clinic.

This blatant misuse of a country which people in the West have little to no knowledge of, is racism in disguise. So many people have sexualised and fetishised there ideas of the Eastern and South Asian countries, they can not see the facts, lack of facts or complete and utter fabrications, at all.

We have seen this before when LGBT activists claimed that Iran was forcing gay men to have sex changes when in fact the clincians were screening them out of the programs, at the first meeting. Iran has a lower rate of regretter after sex reasignment surgery amongst TS people than Charing Cross in london.

The constant use of LGBT by the LGBT organisations when campaigning against Iran has actually caused problems for transsexual people on the ground in Iran. LGBT groups know that full well. Transsexuals in Iran would be very easy to round up. I think everyone knows where that piece of political strategy could lead, which is most likely the aim, so that LGBT groups can complain even more.

We should know better than to fall for this completely fabricated nonsense designed to put people from India, into a bad light for what is clearly a political aim.

How do I know these things. I have asked Iranian and Indian people for the actual facts, as I have asked Chinese, Japanese, Iraqi, Malaysian, Brazilian, Chilean and Thai people about there countries. I would suggest people start doing that. People may find that instead of getting answers from some idiot on the internet, that actually asking people in real life over a coffee gets a lot more accurate set of facts.

I have suggested to both Iranian and India associations locally to report the groups responsible for racist fabrications, but unfortunately they just want a quiet life. I would suggest to anyone reading this to report these articles to any associations connnected with India so they can lodge racism complaints against the authors.

Being part of a minority does not make attacking other completely innocent people acceptable for political gain.

It is long overdue the blatant racism by LGBT groups against entire countries, cultures and geo-graphical areas was stopped.

I worked in India for many years as a missionary and married an India. It is certainly no lie that girls are far less desired and that abortion (though illegal) is very common, but this story seems quite unlikely as others have stated. Orphanages are overrun with girls but to go to this extreme, I can’t imagine. Only the very wealthy could afford such a thing.

If this is true, I can only imagine it is a serious scam that some very backwards doctors are doing underground to fool uneducated and vulnerable people. Very possibly uneducated people are falling for this scam and believing it is that simple to change their girls into boys and very possibly they are giving them all their life-savings. I wouldn’t doubt a major scam is the culprit here, which is why it may be a one time fee with no follow up surgeries or hormone replacement therapy and such.

One might be surprised how much money poor people have. These people save up their whole lives for weddings and such and though they live in poverty, often have much wealth handed down in gold and jewellery and such. It is very plausible this is happening–but again, that it is a scam.

who wants to eat some processed foods mmm mmm pass that fetus thigh, and lets inject ourselves with dead carcasses while were at it because its better then not being vaccinated . research just type in google foods that use aborted fetuses, then type in vaccines that contain aborted fetuses. now aint that delicously cannabilistic isnt it against the law to murder yet we are allowed to. im growing my own, makeing my own and if it were possible not that it is medically treating myself. just cant trust corporate monsters, nor can you trust statistically flawed medical science.it may save lives but at what cost a life of another to save your own?
