    • Anguish of young man who had sex organs removed on NHS then regretted it the same day... as he SUES NHS over gender reassignment surgery
    By Sue Reid for the Daily Mail17:00 EDT 23 Jun 2022 , updated 17:00 EDT 23 Jun 2022


    • The unnamed man has said doctors did not warn him about the drastic outcome of gender reassignment surgery which has left him infertile and incontinent
    • Campaigners say it is first medical negligence case over NHS transgender care
    • He claims he was asked about surgery but delayed as he had doubts but went ahead over fears care he had been receiving for his gender problems would stop
    • On Twitter, the man said that he had been effectively 'castrated' by the surgery

    A young British man who had his genitals removed during gender reassignment surgery is suing the NHSover the operation in a historic legal action.

    He complains that doctors did not warn him of the drastic outcome of the body-altering surgery which has left him infertile, incontinent and feeling like a ‘sɛҳuąƖ eunuch’.

    He said on Twitter yesterday: ‘The minute I woke up from surgery, I knew I had made the biggest mistake of my life.’

    Campaigners say that it is the first medical negligence case over NHS transgender care in this country. The NHS trust involved has not been named.

    Stephanie Davies-Arai, founder of Transgender Trend, a group advising parents on transgender children and young adults, said: ‘It is hoped this will force a re-think by the NHS about this kind of barbaric surgery on patients who are told by medics it will help them.
    ‘He has a very real case for compensation against the heath service. We believe he has suffered harm.’

    His case has been taken on by lawyers in Liverpool. It centres on whether the NHS and its gender clinics adequately counselled him before the operation five years ago. The patient, in his thirties, was brought up in the North of England and has de-transitioned from being a woman to live as a man again.

    The man says he is gαy and his sɛҳuąƖity should have been discussed before the radical, irreversible gender surgery. ‘I have been castrated. That is the correct term,’ he says on his Twitter feed, which has 19,000 followers.



    ‘I cannot believe they [the NHS] were allowed to do this to me.
    ‘I was not even asked if I wanted to freeze my sperm, or have kids in the future.’ He does not want to be named because he is ashamed of how he looks. Instead, he tweets under the pseudonym TullipR.

    Yesterday, he posted a picture of his huge bundle of medical notes which will be used by his lawyers to bring the case against the NHS.

    TullipR says he transitioned at 25, more than a decade ago, and started taking female hormones to feminise his body. This was followed by surgery when he underwent an NHS operation called ‘penile inversion with scrotal graft’ which removes male genitalia and uses the tissue to construct a false vagina.

    He says he grew up in the North East of England. ‘I knew deep down from a young age I was gαy and was deeply terrified of it,’ he says in his tweets describing his past. ‘Everyone in the family joked and expressed disgust and disapproval of gαy people.’

    He withdrew into an online world where he felt at peace. There, at 23, he found discussions about gender dysphoria, the fear of living in the wrong sɛҳuąƖ body. ‘That’s me, I thought.’

    He found an internet forum called ‘Angels’ which was directed at trans women – men who wish to be women.
    They urged him to transition ‘now’, before it was ‘too late’. He says that he latched on to the idea with zeal.

    He took female hormone drugs bought privately, and later prescribed by his GP and an adult NHS gender clinic, to suppress his male characteristics and look feminine. But when a NHS psychiatrist asked him if he wanted gender reassignment surgery (GRS), he delayed for two years because he had doubts.

    Worried that if he refused he would be denied NHS treatment for his gender problems, he finally agreed.

    His tweets explain: ‘Eventually I found myself on the operating table. 

    Immediately on waking up from surgery, I knew I had made the biggest mistake of my life.

    ‘My sex had been lobotomised.’
    After surgery, he confronted his GP about his doubts.

    He claims they shrugged and said there was no guidance for those who regretted the surgery and treatment. 
    The tweets go on: ‘I have no sensation in my crotch region at all. You could stab me with a knife. I wouldn’t know. The entire region is numb. No one ever told me that the base area of your penis is left. It can’t be removed. It means you have a stump inside which twitches.’
    TullipR says his sex drive died about six months after he began taking female hormones.

    ‘I was glad to be rid of it, but now... I realise what I am missing and I won’t get back.

    He describes the ‘living nightmare’ of waking up and forgetting that he has lost his penis and scrotum. ‘I expect something that was there for three decades, and it’s not. My heart skips a beat, every damn time.’

    In the tweets, he describes how the operation has left him struggling to relieve himself. ‘It takes me about 10 minutes to empty my bladder. It is extremely slow, painful, and because it dribbles... it will then go all over the entire area, leaving me soaking.

    ‘I find moments later my underwear is wet. It slowly drips out for more than an hour. I never knew that I would risk smelling of p*** everywhere I go.’

    According to the NHS last year, 13,500 people were waiting for an initial appointment for gender identity treatment which can lead to reassignment surgery.

    The clinic with the shortest waiting time for a first appointment was the flagship Tavistock and Portman Clinic in north-west London which was, at the time, nearly three years.

    • He has no right to sue. He was an adult and insisted on the surgery. He probably was nasty to anyone who tried to talk him out of it.
