A 20-year-old man woke up in a hospital in Muzaffarnagar district of Uttar Pradesh to find out that his genitals had been removed and his sex change operation done. His life turned upside down, he started crying when his “friend” told him that he was now a woman and they both will have to get married.

The victim, a resident of Sanjak village, was allegedly tricked into a hospital visit by his friend who allegedly colluded with doctors of the Begrajpur Medical College to carry out the sex reassignment surgery. The friend later threatened the victim that he will now have to live with him as no one from his family or community will accept him, or he would shoot his father and seize his share of the family land.

Thanks, that is a good guess and a great analogy.

I was very confused by this article and hadn't even considered consent and the ramifications of that being publicly reported.

I just kept being reminded of that Antonio Banderas movie the skin I live in. Which is extremely similar to this article if you haven't heard of it.

Make sure you know what you're getting into, it is an intensely disturbing movie.

lol yeah sorta guessed from context. Hence the vague timeing to watch. Free now but def not in the mood for anything like that.

Thanks for the warning though.

Ha, for sure.

Figured I'd make things pretty clear just in case.

I try to avoid previews and consequently knew nothing about the movie going in.

Hoboy.
