Nathan, born Nancy, Verhelst, 44, was given legal euthanasia, most likely by lethal injection, on the grounds of "unbearable psychological suffering" on Monday afternoon.
It didn't like itself as a girl and was disgusted with itself as a man.
I was the girl that nobody wanted," Mr Verhelst told Het Laatste Nieuws newspaper in the hours before her death."While my brothers were celebrated, I got a storage room above the garage as a bedroom. 'If only you had been a boy', my mother complained. I was tolerated, nothing more." ..."I was ready to celebrate my new birth," he told the newspaper. "But when I looked in the mirror, I was disgusted with myself. My new breasts did not match my expectations and my new penis had symptoms of rejection. I do not want to be... a monster. "
Some Belgians are starting to wonder if medical euthanasia is a good idea. Others may continue to wonder if sex change operations are a good idea.
