I made another comment after yours because it took a while to draft and so I posted it before I saw this. I’ve aired my concerns and accounted for transmedicalists in them, I am fine stepping away now.
I understand the concern. I came off harsher than I intended but I do feel fairly strongly that the poster is not who they claim to be and is not posting in good faith. The details, language, and content don’t line up with someone who was heavily influenced by transmedicalists either. There is the possibility of details and information that would change my mind but that’s where it stands right now. I would need to see the points I brought up addressed.
I don’t want to ostracize someone struggling from the community but I don’t want to simply ignore astroturfing / astroterfing either. People do try to poison the trans community or others perceptions of trans people sometimes, we are unfortunately a fairly controversial topic right now. I’ve seen too many instances of transphobes making their own social media posts posing as people who regret something in transition in order to then screenshot it and share it in their own circles, for example. In my best judgment, I think this post is far enough past suspicious that I’m willing to state my concerns matter-of-factly.
I encourage others to upvote or downvote me accordingly with whether they think my take is good, bad, the post is real, fake, etc. if people disagree with me and OP is indeed genuine, then at the very least a negative score would make it easier for them to ignore my take.
Alright so here’s why I think you’re a troll:
Being post-op doesn’t change shit for trans women when it comes to hook ups or even meeting people. Transphobes will do it regardless. Transphobes will see you as a man regardless. Everyone in the trans community is inescapably aware of this. People who are not transphobes will have no issue seeing you as a woman regardless of your equipment.
Trans people do not, under any circumstances, gatekeep when you feel like a “real woman” because bottom surgery is something utterly inaccessible to most.
The way you describe it skips over the part where actually getting bottom surgery is a long series of hoops to jump through including multiple different therapist letters where every single person everywhere along the way is going to double check with you that you really do want to go through with this. If you express even the slightest hesitation, they’re going to tell you no. Someone who is actually unsure whether or not they want it is going to back out. No amount of peer pressure would ever be enough to get someone to go through with it which, again, that peer pressure won’t exist because trans people will never tell you when you get to feel like a real woman. If you come into a space expressing that, it’s up to you to say that not having bottom surgery is the reason for that feeling. Nobody else can ever tell you what to feel about it.
Lastly, the idea that you can no longer touch yourself after bottom surgery, jack off to porn, or feel yourself is absurd. You absolutely can, surgeons preserve the sexual function. Even if you went to the least reputable bottom surgeon there was, you wouldn’t be saying the things you are in the way you are if you did. You’d be saying you regretted the surgeon you went to or that the results weren’t what you wanted, not that you wanted the old equipment back as is. It would be couched in “well it was better than this because everything sucks for XYZ reason” where XYZ reason is none of the reasons you just gave.
What made you choose to go through with it in the first place?
What makes you miss it now? What is it about then vs now that you miss?
My guess is AI generated in part since another poster also showed she’s still a teenager. There’s a flat window to her left in the background and a car door to the right, doesn’t really make sense
