A 20-year-old man woke up in a hospital in Muzaffarnagar district of Uttar Pradesh to find out that his genitals had been removed and his sex change operation done. His life turned upside down, he started crying when his “friend” told him that he was now a woman and they both will have to get married.

The victim, a resident of Sanjak village, was allegedly tricked into a hospital visit by his friend who allegedly colluded with doctors of the Begrajpur Medical College to carry out the sex reassignment surgery. The friend later threatened the victim that he will now have to live with him as no one from his family or community will accept him, or he would shoot his father and seize his share of the family land.

"who allegedly colluded with doctors of the Begrajpur Medical College to carry out the sex reassignment surgery"

But now his family is saying it didn't happen?

No they don't:

The family members of the youth alleged that the other party had got the operation done by misleading them.

Thanks.

Is there any other news on why the doctors colluded with the accused?

I mean this is f****** crazy right?

I can only guess.

And I really do not know much about India.

But I have heard that their is a huge amount of shame connected to trans behaviors. To the point that I once saw a video where the government hired trans women to embarrassed people into paying taxes. This was at some time in the 90s so drag wa she term used. But it was basically hiring men dressed as women to spend time hanging around the business locations of people failing to pay their taxes.

Honestly if this is how it can be seen in the nation. I can very much see a family wanting to claim a member was tricked rather then chose the option.

Very like we used to see wealthy families refusing to admit thoer darters got pregnant. Back in the 40s many young teen women were placed in mental institutions when they got pregnant. Later on we saw mothers claiming the dauter belonged to them rather then an unmarried teen daughter.

I can see the motivation being similar.

Thanks, that is a good guess and a great analogy.

I was very confused by this article and hadn't even considered consent and the ramifications of that being publicly reported.

I just kept being reminded of that Antonio Banderas movie the skin I live in. Which is extremely similar to this article if you haven't heard of it.

Make sure you know what you're getting into, it is an intensely disturbing movie.

[–] HumanPenguin 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

lol yeah sorta guessed from context. Hence the vague timeing to watch. Free now but def not in the mood for anything like that.

Thanks for the warning though.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Ha, for sure.

Figured I'd make things pretty clear just in case.

I try to avoid previews and consequently knew nothing about the movie going in.

Hoboy.
