Dreher reads a hell of a lot into a two-sentence post from yesterday linking to his post about trangender people and those who want to have limbs amputated for non-medical reasons:

"I get sick of this kind of juvenile fusspot response whenever anyone tries to discuss the moral aspects of issues having to do with sexuality. You know, the "How dare you compare [thing I approve of] to [thing you disapprove of]!?!" As if how dare you were any sort of argument. It was clear to anyone who took the trouble to read my post that it was someone here on the Templeton fellowship who raised the question in a discussion about ->-bleeped-<-, the body and personal autonomy. And it's a perfectly legitimate question, because it raises issues of the lines society draws around the individual's ability to alter his or her body."

MTF transsexuals do not amputate anything. FTM do have breast removal but there is a huge difference between doing that, and cutting off a healthy leg or arm because you want to be handicapped. This topic is locked before it can even get started.
