Yeah, I discourage having surgery, especially in regards to genitalia. This is a major reason why I oppose state laws that require surgery to change your sex marker, because they promote doing it. I know it's supposed to be a "compromise", but in reality it helps no one. Even banning sex marker changes would be better.

If you want a real compromise, how about we have a marker for sex, which can never be changed, and a marker for gender or pronouns, which can? It won't make both sides completely happy, but at least it won't entirely upset them either. I'm gon'o admit: this my ideal solution, so perhaps it's biased, but I'm a centrist, so perhaps not.

But the fake vaginas ain't really functional, because you can't have children with them. You can have sex with them, but that makes it more of a sex toy than an organ. That's another reason I don't like it, because other than state laws requiring surgery for a sex marker change, there's really no'n other than fetishism that drives people to have these surgeries.
