The tide of public opinion appears to be moving against “gender-affirming
care,” a euphemism for child sex-change procedures not supported by the
evidence that often cause devastating consequences.

Preventing such procedures for patients under age 18 has to be the
baseline.

But while restrictions on such procedures for minors are essential, more
scrutiny should be focused on a lesser-known practice: “non-binary”
surgeries for adults.

Curtis Crane is one of the doctors leading this movement.

Crane is a University of Iowa and Dartmouth College-trained urologist and
plastic surgeon who specializes in transgender medical interventions,
including experimental non-binary surgeries.

Crane has been hailed as an innovator in vaginoplasty and phalloplasty —
creating artificial vaginas and penises for patients.

He operates clinics in San Francisco, Calif., and Austin, Texas, employs a
team of five doctors and conducts procedures on more than 1,000 patients
per year.

As part of this caseload, his practice has veered into the disturbing new
territory of non-binary surgery, which includes castration, eunuch and
nullification procedures, which Crane describes as the process of
“removing all external genitalia to create a smooth transition from the
abdomen to the groin.”

Crane has also designed and performed hundreds of non-binary surgeries in
which he fashions together both male and female genitalia for a single
individual.

Crane recounted the story of performing his first non-binary genital
surgery in a question-and-answer session for potential patients.

“In the beginning of my practice, within the first year, I’d say, I had a
trans man come to me, and he wanted a phalloplasty, but he wanted to keep
his vagina,” Crane recalled.

After a process of “soul-searching,” he concluded that, if gender was not
binary, his surgeries did not need to conform to a typical male-female
pattern.

Last year, in a keynote speech for the Equality Alliance, Crane laid out
his philosophy of transgender medicine.

“Our history has been riddled with inequalities,” he said, and the West,
in particular, has propped up a false gender binary — that of man and
woman — that denies the basic right to recognition of individuals self-
identifying as transgender, non-binary, gender-nonconforming, genderqueer
and gender fluid.

Crane proposed two solutions.

First, the social-utopian solution: to reeducate all of society to accept
that biological sex is not binary — “XX is not always female and XY is not
always male” — and “humanize this predicament,” with the end goal of
“acceptance” of anti-normative sexual identity.

Second, the technical-constructivist solution: to remove, alter, fabricate
and reorganize human genitalia so that transgender patients can “become
the people they were always meant to be.”

The doctor’s surgical practice represents the strange metaphysics of
transgender medicine, which would work simultaneously to sever the link
between sex and biology, erase the primordial distinctions between man and
woman and transcend the limitations of nature through the application of
medical technology — all in pursuit of therapeutic, left-liberal notions
of authenticity, identity, equality and acceptance.

There is, however, a dark side to this philosophy.

If biology, human nature and traditional ethics are seen as impediments,
rather than as guides, then rational restraints no longer remain on what
can be done; the only real limitation is the imagination.

And the human mind, untethered from moral limits, can conjure up
nightmares.

The surgeon, armed with a scalpel and a genital-nullification robot,
becomes the new arbiter of human nature.

Crane styles himself as a champion of science and equality, but he more
closely resembles Dr. Frankenstein.

A reckoning might be coming.

In 2018, the feminist writers at 4thWaveNow discovered that a large number
of transgender patients had sued Crane for medical malpractice.

All of the former patients described barbaric surgeries and gruesome
complications.

The cases were dismissed in court, potentially as the result of
settlements.

To stop the radical procedures performed by surgeons such as Crane,
society will need to impose limits.

Medical associations, which have been captured by gender ideologues, do
not seem capable of resisting the temptation of “trans-affirming
medicine.”

Outside pressure will be needed, including intervention by legislators, to
ensure reform within the medical system and to prohibit medically perverse
practices, such as the male-female hybrid genitalia procedure.

Our society does not have to recognize as equal those ideologies that
violate natural law and does not have to accept medical practices that
fail to meet the discipline’s most basic test: “First, do no harm.”

His statement that "biological sex is not binary" is complete nonsense. If
that doesn't bother his licensing board, there is a larger problem. That
being said, if an adult wants to go through these procedures, and can
afford to pay the piper, then live and let live. But don't ask me to
approve of it or pay for it. If insurance companies are paying for these
surgeries, we are all paying for them, and that's wrong.

Finally, I am sorry for those individuals who think this surgery is some
magic bullet for their unhappiness. I'm reminded of the old Woody Allen
line: "I went to a party, and the host had seven sex change operations. He
couldn't find anything he liked."
