I don't really know how many folks on MMOC would remember the Internets favorite man-child back in the early 2000's. And sadly I had the misfortune to stumble across a link with his latest adventures.
Well now he's all grown up and decided that he's not a man-child anymore but a honest and true lesbian trans-woman Tomgirl, named Christine.
See, now I'm torn. I laughed along with everyone else at his crazy antics and hilarious cartoons but now he's facing a real issue and I can't decide if he/she is actually capable of making a decision like this.
At what stage should parents step in and stop a person who suffers from a mental handicap?
I ask this now because he's is attempting to start HRT on his own without any supervision.
Yes, he is an adult who is 33 years old but he still spends most of his time playing with toys and Lego.
He's been acquitted on the grounds he's an adult autistic child by the courts after he ran over that hobby store owner and again after he maced that GameStop employee over Sonic the Hedgehog design changes so...
In your view at what point should someone step in and stop him from hurting himself? Does he have the right to tell his care-giver that he wants to be a woman and thus take hormones and under-go surgery or does his impairment exclude his right of choice?
Personally I'm leaning against his right as I cannot be sure that he actually understands what he is attempting to do but at the same time he's an adult and if he feels he's misgendered (is that a word?) he should be able to seek out SRS to fullfill his need.
I'm honestly confused by this issue. Plus I always had a soft spot for Chris-chan and don't really want to see him hurt.
