A historic lawsuit has been launched against the NHS by a gay man who claims he was not given adequate information about the consequences of sex reassignment surgery. Now, with an adult head, the man would once again live a full life in accordance with his biological sex, but he no longer has the opportunity to do so, reports hirado.hu .

A lawsuit has been filed in the United Kingdom by a man who claims that doctors did not warn him of the drastic consequences of the procedure, which involves the removal of the genitals, when he underwent genital reassignment surgery as a young man. According to his claim, since then he feels like an infertile, incontinent "sexual eunuch", reported the Daily Mail .

The victim said on Twitter:

" when I woke up after the operation, I immediately knew that I had made the biggest mistake of my life ".

This is the first medical negligence case in the country related to the care of transgender people.

Stephanie Davies-Arai, founder of Transgender Trend, an advisory group to help parents of transgender children and young adults, said: " Hopefully this will prompt the health service to rethink the use of barbaric operations like this on patients who doctors say are it will help them ”.

" The victim has a very real claim for compensation from the health service, " he said.

The ex-patient, now in his thirties, grew up in the north of England and although he used to want to be a woman, he has since interrupted his gender and name change to live as a man again. Her case centers on whether the NHS and its gender reassignment clinics adequately informed her before the operation.

The man claims that he is homosexual, and that the clinic staff should have discussed his sexual orientation with him before the radical, irreversible sex-changing surgery. " They were castrated. This is the correct expression ," he wrote on his Twitter page, which already has 19,000 followers.

" I can't believe the NHS allowed them to do this to me, " she said in disbelief.

He added that he was not even asked if he wanted to freeze his sperm or if he wanted to have children in the future. The man does not publicly accept his name because he is ashamed of himself and his appearance, so he publishes his posts under the pseudonym TullipR.
