The unemployed former Asda worker asked the NHS to freeze his eggs before he completed his full transition, in the hope he might have children years later. [More]Not to be outdone:
A 57-year-old convicted killer serving a life sentence in California became the first U.S. inmate to receive state-funded sex-reassignment surgery...Any culture that steals from the productive to do this cannot survive -- which is evidently the intent.

"Hayden Cross plans to have baby before returning to complete the transition process, which will remove his breasts and ovaries"
If I recall me elementary school grammar lessons correctly (and, admittedly it has bee a ling while since I attended elementary school), the pronoun "his" connotes masculine gender. Since the article is about an adult, the pronoun would appear to be referring to a man. Now it has been over 40 years since I took Biology 101 but I'm fairly certain that men rarely have ovaries, become pregnant or have breasts of a size to warrant being removed. Women, on the other hand DO possess said organs and sometimes bear children.
Therefor, the phrase "his breasts and ovaries" is significantly oxymoronic. Perhaps I am merely old fashioned, but I do not/cannot see how the pronoun "his" could apply to a person possessing breasts and ovaries.
