I actually get really mad about reddit and other SM being 'supportive' but not letting people know what can and does go wrong. People should be in possession of all the facts and selling someone a dream just feels cruel. Imagine how alone someone would feel that their surgery is the only one that's gone wrong and can then be pressured into keeping quiet and letting others make the same mistake because "their bad experience shouldn't stop others". It's infuriating.

Oh, I agree completely. Really, you shouldn't even be messing with those parts of your body. There is a lot that can go wrong, and I'm worried these kids aren't being told that. I do think, though, that this will begin to crumple in on itself soon. A lot of young people are de-transitioning, and I've seen some YouTube comments saying things like "thank you so much for sharing this, I think I'll skip bottom surgery!". Good. Maybe some degree of sanity is beginning to push forth. It's a shame it took this long, and claimed so many kids, though.

Yeah there's a weird element in play that makes me super uncomfortable where it feels like those communities don't take surgeries seriously. Anything can go 'right' and you can still die on the operating table. But no yeet those teets is the message that gets sent out. People really need the full picture and the fact that even doctors seem to be...disingenuous/dishonest about it adds to it. It needs to be treated seriously, young girls and boys don't think long term and that's another factor that's incredibly uncomfortable. They're not thinking of being in pain from it being botched 5-10 years from now they're thinking this will fix my problems NOW.

That's what narcissism does to people. Most of these trans kids are probably living without a future in sight and just planning to neck it when they're no longer young and having fun. They don't think about long term life plans, or kids, or buying a house, or even the idea of aging or taking care of themselves. That would require perspective.

I think a lot of these kids are completed disconnected from reality. They're spending all their time in a make-believe world of video games and avatars and are literally trying to make their reality fit their fantasy.
