So the thing that always gets me is when I see that trans people won't date other trans people. It all boils down to the fact that the surgery doesn't actually work. The hormones don't actually do the whole job. There is this knowledge that it's going to be some sort of uncanny valley experience and unless you have a fetish nobody wants that in your most intimate and vulnerable moments. There is often talk of postop being different but it's doesn't. I would never sleep with a postop TiF. No fucking way is a pumped up flesh tube getting near my vagina or going in my mouth. I guess that makes me transphobic. I imagine that men feel the same. A hole in your body is not a vagina. It might resemble one from the outside. We know the complex structure of our vaginas. The muscles, the complete clitoris (not just the outside bit), the lubrication, the changes during arousal. It's not just a hole to stick a dick in. Men know that too. Sometimes they can pretend but that is exactly what it is, pretending.

The "Doctors" performing these surgeries couldn't tell the Hippocratic oath from their own arses. Some child with a boatload of mental issues will see this as an easy fix. It's only post-surgery they find out that those mental issues are still with them, and getting operated on didn't change anything.

A person needs to be seriously suffering for a long time from the mental disorder of gender dysphoria to warrant a surgical and permant mutilation of the genitals. The doctors are taking advantage. Cutting off a man's penis and testicles is such an extreme act. Everyone acts like it's a regular Tuesday. On top of that, imagine the social pressure to celebrate the results of these surgeries. At 3 in the morning, after you have spent another long day pretending to be the other sex the reality must creep in. It must be awful. This poor man really thinks he can be a woman. I've said this before, delutional is soon going to be labled a transphobic word.

It's insane. On a perfectly healthy woman's body, remove her breasts. Reshape her chest, maybe causing nerve damage in the process. Reshape her vagina to a penis. Stitch up her labia. Alter the urethra. Maybe even remove her uterus. On a perfectly healthy man's body, remove his penis to make a surgical hole that has to be dilated every day to not close up. Take skin from other body parts to make it, sometimes by cutting up the colon. Remove his testicles. Create breasts. Surgically alter his voice. Shave the cartilage in the throat to remove the Adam's apple. Modify facial bone structure until he looks like something he's not.

Give them hormones that aren't natural for their genetic setup. Assure them that this will make them happy. Start telling children and vulnerable teenagers that this is what they may want in the future and block their normal development.

It's barbaric.

All because they "feel like the opposite sex", absolutely ridiculous.
