Good comments, Andrew. I especially liked the Muppet costume analogy!

You can surgically move all kinds of things around on people's bodies, but that doesn't mean that the nerves or muscles are connected in ways that work correctly for the Frankenstein so assembled.

In this case, you can create fake sex organs, but they do not function as real ones.

The clip of Jazz Jennings' mother talking about waking her child up out of a dead sleep and forcing Jazz to use a dildo to stretch a surgical scar so it doesn't close up ought to freak all parents out more than a little bit. It seriously freaks me out.

Seriously? She's doing that to her kid? Her poor kid no longer has his proper sex organs, so he is never ever going to be able to have sex or father kids, and now all he's got is a nasty surgical scar that's trying to close up. That is just so wrong--it really makes me appalled.

Someone needs to show that clip to the Omaha Chamber of Commerce over and over again until they finally get it.
