Depressing News Story - Changing Gender

Look at this story:

http://news.scotsman.com/scotland.cfm?id=456842002

It's so sad that life treats some people so cruelly:
:
MacDougall said she had always wanted children and that urge had never changed.

"Obviously it would be impossible for that to happen but I have a huge collection of dolls - about 30 of them - all of whom I love dearly. They all have names and I often take them off the shelf and play with them."

:
"Recently when I was walking down the road a man swore at me and told me to stay away from the children."

She also said she was sexually assaulted by three men by the side of a road in broad daylight, and had been disowned by her three brothers and two sisters.
Eep... Forget Life, it's People who treat people the worst...

Yes, but what touched me the most was that she has a collection of dolls whom she treats as her children. She takes refuge from the cruelty of her life in a make-believe world. It's very depressing.

The number of replies this topic has is an indication of how the community responds to the suffering of individuals like her.

I feel very sorry for that woman. All those ignorant people treating her like shit... I thought the most depressing part was that she asked the doctors to change her back to a male, even though she knew it was impossible.

What am I suppost to say? 'Oh dear, that's depressing'?

It is depressing, I just didn't think me saying 'oh no, that's bad' would add anything to this thread.

If you have nothing to say, fine. Just because I'm not Mr Popularity at the moment is no need to jump on the bandwagon, Tom.

It's an interesting topic, I guess I expected a bit more discussion.
