Talk:Sex change (disambiguation)

message: It has occasionally been asked why the content on "Sex change in humans" is here at all, and it has been removed or severely shortened a few times, too. However, the term "sex change" is more than well-known; it even keeps appearing in newspapers and other media. It is therefore to be assumed that people who are rather uninformed about these matters would look up "sex change", and therefore, the article should contain this information. Also, several other articles reference this article specifically for an explanation of why "sex change" is an problematic term when applied to humans. Therefore, this content has to remain, unless somebody can come up with a really good reason to remove it. -- AlexR 06:35, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Agree! Very strange that that picture is there. Why not hermaphroditic earthworms whilst we are at it? LOL. Vote for removal and substitution of an image from a human biology textbook perhaps. Cheerio, from Peter, aka Vid2vid (talk) 04:04, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

replies: text: Not really - there's not yet enough punitive value as all he's done is the usual harebrained test edit drive-by, crudely enough to be picked up by the bot, and little preventative value as he has no record of such things and has stopped for the moment. He's been warned, and returning to his deeds will drop the hammer. --Kizor 20:19, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There's some activity from other anon IPs; the hammer will also be applied if these are connected. In other news, this edit has no formatting, can someone check if it's valid or in need of tweaking to integrate it into the article? --Kizor 20:19, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  WOW. Is that a 'thing,' High-Level Editors on Wikipedia blocking specific IP addresses? I was wondering the other day re Anon edits from IPs, graffiti, defacement, vandalism etc. I mean; What if it's a cyber cafe, library terminal, etc and someone else with a WHITE hat on attempts to edit Wikipedia in the future? Just thinking 'allowed.' ;-) Peace, from Peter, aka Vid2vid (talk) 03:56, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Defacement 

message: The two year period of living 'full time', commonly known as the real life test has absolutely nothing to do with male?! genitalia. Contrary to popular belief, shrinkage is actually a bad thing due to the fact that it gives surgeons less to work with. If significant 'shrinkage' has occured due to bilateral orchidectomy or natural size, often when it comes to reassignment surgery, surgeons must perform a more complicated procedure that takes considerably more recovery time.
Nevertheless, this sub-section should be genderless, so I have removed the reference.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.42.110.125 (talk) 23:55, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

message: This article says:
Gender reassignment is usually preceded by a period of feminization or masculinization. This is accomplished through hormone replacement therapy, where, for those transitioning to female, estrogens and antiandrogens and sometimes progestogens are prescribed.
"Transitioning to female" implies that trans women actually were men (as opposed to women in the wrong body) before their body was changed with surgery. Can we re-word it?? Georgia guy (talk) 17:50, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: They actually need to reword it the other way.  There is no actual way for a human to voluntary change sexes.  Males can not become females by choice.  There are societal gender roles that they can assume and cosmetic procedures they can undergo, but nobody can willingly change sexes. The whole article needs to be brought in line with science.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.207.131.31 (talk) 13:22, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
