    reconstruct their penis to look like a bionic fleshlight

    Why can’t you just say neo-vaginas are not vaginas or post-op genitals don’t make someone a female? Saying things like this just feels like you are dehumanizing and degrading us for no reason. 😕

    An inside-out penis, designed for being a penis-sleeve is the most primitively androcentric view of a woman's birth canal ever. The procedure is glaringly misogynistic. It does not come anywhere close to being a vagina, neo, or otherwise. Thankfully most trans-women don't get the procedure done, but way too many do. People who do are being used as guinea pigs. It's a form of mutilation & it needs to be made illegal, along with circumcision & "normalising" surgeries performed on intersex people. I'm not going to be complicit in indirectly endorsing something horrible with the use of a pretty name. I'm not being paid to advertise it, so I'm not doing the work for free either.

    If you define yourself based on a botched cosmetic procedure then that's really not anyone else's problem, mate. This is the internet. Grow a thicker skin, everyone else has to.

    I am not arguing I have a vagina, saying a vagina is just a hole for penis, or defining myself by the fact I’ve had bottom surgery.

    I’m only saying that language isn’t necessary to make your point and makes GC people look bad.

    Thirded. There's no space for that kind of language here.

    even if they reconstruct their penis to look like a bionic fleshlight,

    Strongly determining that this comment just poisons the well of the rest of the comment.

    This post is in bad faith. If you want to use reactionary terms to refer to a trans woman’s reconstructed genitalia , kindly find another place for it.

    "Reconstructed"? Let's refer to FGM that way too then lol. It's quite clear that you don't know what "bad faith" or "well poisoning" even means.

    “Reconstruct” is literally the word you used.

    [–]SnowAssMan 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    No, I didn't. I said: reconstruct – reorganize (something). synonym: refashion Elly said: reconstruct – build or form (something) again after it has been damaged or destroyed. synonym: restore I used the correct word, Elly used the incorrect one. I know they both sound the same, but a word with two different definitions is two different words. The difference can be determined by the context. Let's all pretend that this is totally new information. Patronising me won't work in your favour.

    FGM isn't urogenital SRS. Specious comparison, poisonous rhetoric.

    [–]SnowAssMan 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

    That's like saying "FGM isn't MGM". Effectively, it is.

    [–][deleted] 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    It's not like saying that at all.
