Typical of your lack of actual expertise. Clinicians don’t claim that transition changes *genotypic* sex (i.e. DNA) but *phenotypic* primary and secondary sex characteristics like endocrine balance and physical anatomy which are very changeable with hormones and/or surgery.

I am posting an open letter to the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom to help a distressed mother in Oxfordshire- Regarding so-called gender affirming care surgeries. From, Dr. Joseph Chrysostom MBBS, MS(Gen Surg), FRCSEd United Kingdom To, The Rt Hon Sir Keir Starmer MP Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Respected Prime Minister, Subject: Deception and Harm in Gender Surgeries – Urgent Need for Government Action-Please save an English mother from intense grief and distress. I am writing to you as a medical professional with more than 35 years of experience to raise the gravest possible alarm about the continuation of so-called “gender-affirming surgeries” in the United Kingdom. These operations are being performed on otherwise healthy bodies, and they are being described to patients in terms that are false, misleading, and unethical. When money is paid from public purse or privately, this needs investigation for serious fraud by the agencies concerned. Today (6 November 2025), I received a deeply distressing phone call from a mother in Oxfordshire. Her only daughter, aged 18, is scheduled to undergo a bilateral mastectomy next week in a private hospital. The operating surgeons claim that the procedure will “masculinize” her chest and describe it as cosmetic in nature. However, it is biologically impossible to “masculinize” or convert a female chest into a male chest, unless the trillions of cells within the tissues—each carrying XX sex chromosomes—could somehow be transformed into XY chromosomes, which no surgeon can achieve. Therefore, the claim of creating a “male chest” through surgery is scientifically false and misleading. I believe this constitutes a serious deception of patients and families and warrants urgent investigation by the General Medical Council (GMC), the Royal Colleges, and other relevant regulatory bodies. In my professional opinion, this operation cannot be regarded as cosmetic. A truly cosmetic procedure should not destroy a vital physiological function of the human body. In this case, the patient will permanently lose her ability to lactate in the event of a future pregnancy — a natural physiological function. Furthermore, she will lose the sexual sensations inherently present in the normal nipples and areolae, which are essential for normal sexual response. On these grounds, this surgery cannot, under any circumstances, be considered cosmetic. It is important to highlight that, according to the Oxford Handbook of Paediatrics, an 18-year-old is still considered an adolescent. At this stage, the brain is still maturing, which raises medical concerns about the individual’s ability to provide fully informed consent. Moreover, in my view, any consent obtained through misleading claims about chest “masculinization” or presented as a form of cosmetic surgery cannot be regarded as valid. The mother is devastated. This is her only child. She fears that this mastectomy will be followed by cross-sex hormone treatments and, eventually, phalloplasty, leading to irreversible sterility and other serious medical complications. Prime Minister, this mother is one of your citizens, and she is pleading for help. These interventions will destroy her legitimate hope of one day holding her own grandchild in her arms. I earnestly urge you to take immediate action to prevent this operation from going ahead, especially given the strong parliamentary majority your government holds. I am happy to be contacted anytime if you need any details regarding this mother’s situation. Yours Sincerely, Dr. Joseph Chrysostom MS(Gen Surg), FRCSEd. GMC 5199143
