ezs note:  Oh, bruther.  The 'controversy' would be calmed if people understood the difference between transgender women and cisgender women.  The first are done by medically proficient doctors; the second are not done by doctors at all.  As far as cisgender girls and women go, the female genital mutilation is horrid, and the 'doctors' should be jailed.   On the other hand, transgender women should take care that the surgeon is medically certified.
