I was exploring its data after you cited a statistic derived from it.

In my original statement I said this:

The vast majority of TIMs have not had, nor do they ever plan to have, genital surgeries. When "gender confirmation surgeries" are spoken of for TIMs nowadays it almost always means facial feminization surgeries; tracheal shaves; having sacs of fluid or gel implanted in the chest to resemble women's breasts; lip, butt and hip injections with fillers; dental contouring, etc.

Yes, I should've given more sources for this statement. There are many others sources for this information in addition to the one paper from Translational Urology and Andrology that can easily be found online. I did not link to a bunch of sources in my original post coz I was in a rush at the time, coz I'm often told my posts are too pedantic, and coz the fact that hardly any TIMs get genital surgeries is common knowledge amongst all the GC feminists I know (and know of) as well as amongst all the men I know (and know of) who are well-versed in this field. This is not top-secret information!

You're the one who assumed my one and only source for this is the NCTE online survey. I've already explained at length that it's not the only source, nor even the main source, of it.

Your posts would be so much more powerful and useful to others if you substantiated claims unprompted, especially claims with high peaking power like the relative rarity of genital surgery for TIMs. Most of the people I talk to about it have no idea, and are much more likely to go immediately from 'well they just want to feel safe' to 'no fucking way pal' if they see good evidence.

I probably post more links to evidence backing up my points than any other poster here. People tell me I'm a pedant and hair-splitter. I'm not responsible for the ignorance or knee-jerk reactions of the people you talk to.
