If these people are women well so be it in the own body and in their own minds not butchered and drugged up.
*is confused*

How can a women be a women if she has a penis? At the same time how can a man be a man without one? If one person feels as though they are female but has a penis, how can she ever truely live as female if she in face is anatomically not female? Hormones are not the same as being drugged up. As for being butchered, am I safe in assuming that you consider gener reassignment surgery on the same level as genital mutilation? If one has any alterations done to their genitals then it is butchery?

Gender variance should be seen for what it is - normal - and the need for surgery and chemicals is an insult to humanity
Absolutely. Gender variance is normal to some extent but how is surgery inhumane? Body variance of all kinds is also completely normal but some people still chose to use surgery as a way of changing that body. Sometimes it is because of negative body image and pressure from society. However, other times it is because of health, comfort, or other issues. Is that considered inhumane and butchery as well?
