Was your cousin waiting for an organ transplant? That was one of the explicit exceptions on the list.

] There is often a period of time between the need for a transplant being identified, and a suitable organ for transplantation becoming available. Therefore, where first definitive treatment requires the patient to be added to a transplant list, then the patient’s clock should stop on the date that they are added to the list, and when this is communicated to the patient. Where a donor has already been identified (for example, a family member), then first definitive treatment would usually be the start of treatment itself.

Don't let the suffering of your cousin become the excuse for why others must suffer as well.

At https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_gender points out, non-binary gender has been around for at least 4 thousand years, and across many cultures, including "Some traditional Diné Native Americans of the Southwestern US acknowledge a spectrum of four genders: feminine woman, masculine woman, feminine man, and masculine man."

Just because you don't know about it doesn't make it not true.

Do you also believe, like President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, that there are no homosexuals in Iran?

That seems an equally willful ignorance of human nature.

> the other is pretty much a recreational drug not medically indicated for that purpose.

Not according to your own NHS and court decision.

Just because you believe it, doesn't make it true.

And read the transcript, or watch the video, because it responds to just about every point you've made, and in more detail than I care to copy&paste.

No. It was obviously not a transplant.

Yes I'm familiar with modern sociology and anthropology and their attempts to reinterpret via cloudy misinterpretation of certain non Western European (thus necessarily unfamiliar) cultural artifacts to retrofit them into a pseudo history to reinforce 21st century created paradigms of gender.

How is it obvious? What was the surgery? Was there something about the operation which made it complicated?

LOL! As if earlier sociology and anthropology didn't fit non Western European cultural artifacts into a pseudo-history to reinforce 19th century Western European paradigms of gender. ("Berdache", cough, cough.)

And you somehow think they must have been correct? As if muxe, faʻafafine, māhū, the five genders of the Bugis people, etc. listed in the Wikipedia page are all recent/post-war inventions?

Your evidence that binary-only gender conforming to birth-assigned gender being 20K years old is, what precisely?

Just because President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says there are no homosexuals in Iran, doesn't mean he's right.

And the evidence I looked into is strongly counter to your expressed personal viewpoints.

I stated it was a day patient procedure.

It tells tales, the very limited weave of retrofitted appropriation of historical cultures via misinterpretation and dubious applied inferences, to feign a history that you have no relationship with.

Worse than the falsity, I believe you know it. Any well documented society for millennia has no hint of anything remotely to your thinking.
