Girl 12 to have sex change op

By John Hirst

Call me old fashioned, but this case makes me wonder whether we should be tinkering with nature. I know it is deeper than this, but it comes across that the girl wants to avoid breasts and menstruation therefore she decides to become a boy instead. I mean, it's hardly the same as changing a library book because you don't like it. For thousands of years we accepted the sex nature gave us. And we had to live with it. I cannot help thinking perhaps the girl should have instead had counselling to help her accept what she is and adapt to it?
