I think arguing about medical techniques is boring, so let’s talk about empathy. You said you wouldn’t get the surgery if you were so inclined. I don’t think you’ve bothered to understand what being so inclined means. I don’t think you’ve considered being so triggered by a part of your body that you’d rather die than keep it. That’s what the situation is for a lot of trans people. I don’t think you’ve thought about that. I think you’ve imagined transition as a nice-to-have, instead of lifesaving medical care. You should do more to understand the feelings of trans people who seek surgery.
None of your business, frankly. Those are our genitals and we’re human beings not medical curiosities.
Asking us to defend publicly that our genitals are “good enough” by deep diving into the details of how a very complex and advanced surgery is done is utterly dehumanizing behavior. Anyway, I’ve literally never had a man say he felt there was something off with my genitalia and that’s including men who I never disclosed to & later asked me about pregnancy risks (implying they still believed I was cis). So this person is utterly misinformed and frankly speaking out of his ass.
Don’t ask again. Be kind and respect people’s privacy when the topic is about their genitalia. Thanks.
What do you think my argument here is, I’ve already stated I think people should do what they want with themselves.
Why are you so insistent that I, what you would call a cisgendered man, change my opinion on what I would do if I were to transition.
Why are you allowed to have any thought or whim you want without disregard for how it might affect me or others, but I have to act as some kind of unilateral compassionate force for every disadvantaged soul on the planet or I’m automatically a “troll”.
I can tell you now your own obnoxious behaviour is part of what generates negative views of the transgender community.
You want people to live and let live, try some of your own medicine, you troglodytic accolyte of unreason.
I’d know that I don’t know how trans people feel, and therefore I can’t know how I’d feel if I were trans. I’d listen to how trans people feel, and assume that’s how I’d feel if I were trans.

The regret rate is 1%. In the context of major surgery, that’s a miracle. You don’t get that for hip replacements or heart transplants.
But I wanted to talk about medical techniques… :(

Maybe if you don’t want to be judged for your views on trans people’s feelings, you could not tell everyone what you think trans people feel.
This is more of the projecting I’m talking about. My opinion was about MY feelings. Fuck you’re annoying dumb.
If I were a cis guy, I wouldn’t start online arguments about how I think I’d feel if I were trans
Why not?
I’d know that I don’t know how trans people feel, and therefore I can’t know how I’d feel if I were trans. I’d listen to how trans people feel, and assume that’s how I’d feel if I were trans.
Says the guy who speaks for the entire trans community, to the guy who voiced his opinion on his own hypothetical transition.
I’m not a guy. You’ve really got no idea what’s going on here.
