An 18-year-old woman attempted a so-called “gender reassignment surgery” at home after watching a “how-to” video on YouTube. However, the biological female from New Zealand was rushed to hospital after attempting a self-mastectomy at home.
The individual, named in the report as “Patient Z,” was reportedly waiting for female-to-male gender reassignment surgery, but was reportedly unhappy with the wait time for official referrals for gender reassignment surgery.
Recent study According to an article published in the New Zealand Medical Journal, an 18-year-old biological female attempted a mastectomy on her left breast. The magazine said the self-surgery was due to “significant psychological stress over having to expose her breasts at an upcoming pool party.”
The doctors who took part in the study said the individual “was well-planned, watching ‘how-to’ videos on YouTube, gathering the necessary equipment, marking the incision site and considering pain control and bleeding control”.
However, Patient Z soon became “anxious” about her “attempt to remove the left mastectomy on her own” and “sought medical attention for several hours” despite having “attempted to remove the left mastectomy on her own” due to concerns that she “might suffer nerve damage.”
An “acute mental health team” determined the woman was “considered to be capable of consenting” to gender reassignment surgery.
The doctors reportedly performed a “left complete mastectomy and right symmetrical mastectomy.”
However, the magazine also acknowledged that Patient Z had a “history of gender dysphoria following testosterone treatment.”
“Gender dysphoria causes great distress to transgender people, and it is well documented that transgender people experience higher levels of discrimination, bullying and violence than the general population,” the magazine said.
“Furthermore, studies of patients prior to undergoing gender reassignment surgery have found a significant proportion to suffer from undiagnosed anxiety and depression. Not all transgender people want gender reassignment surgery, but those who do should have access to this service and be able to express their true gender,” it added.
