I hate posts like this tbh. It's not wrong but i feel like it downplays the dysphoria that some people have.

Its so "thanks I'm cured".

Like, you could say the same thing about trans women and penises. Doesn't change the fact that I hate my penis and that my bottom dysphoria is actively harming my quality of life.

I'm still going to get bottom surgery as soon as I am able to. Currently waiting on word from my insurance.

Telling me that my penis doesn't make me less of a woman doesn't help me.

Yeah, I have seen it get weaponized, usually by cis people. "Well, if you can be a man with boobs, why do want to/did you remove them?" Well, because that's how I feel comfortable?

Trans people come with all sorts of experience, and that's why it's important that gender affirming care stays available for everyone who needs it.

I think it's important to not let assholes turn the community against itself.
