London Doctors Are Accused of Removing a Transgender Man's Vagina Without His Consent
Latest

Two doctors in London have been suspended after performing an irreversible vaginectomy on a transgender man without his consent.
Metro UK reports that the nonconsensual procedure was performed by Drs. Marco Capece and Giulo Garaffa in 2016, at Highgate Private Hospital. The patient, who had begun transitioning in 2013, reportedly consented to a hysterectomy and a metoidioplasty, but did not want his vagina removed. Garaffa reportedly did not check the patient’s medical notes and performed the vaginectomy anyway. Capece is accused of later altering the patient’s consent form to make it look like he wanted the procedure.
