do you have any idea how long and complicated the process to getting the surgery is? you don't walk into the clinic and just ask for it, you have to go for assessments.

besides, with the way op was phrasing things, i wouldn't be surprised if their friend lied about why they were identifying as male online so they could avoid op's transphobic reactions.

(Anonymous) 2011-06-16 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
I realize this. But I also feel that there could be more to it, because there have been people who have gotten SRS and either regretted it or got it for the wrong reasons. It's not like every single case of the surgery is 100% success everyone loves it.

OP would probably be far more accepting if said friend hadn't subjected her to suspensions based on lies. Based on the personality presented here, her friend sounds more like a manipulative asshole than someone who was afraid of a friend's reaction to being trans.

(Anonymous) 2011-06-16 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
that's true, but what's so hard about supporting someone with who they feel they are right now? oh wait, that would be... nothing! if the friend is transitioning to male, use male pronouns, don't be all 'ohhh, well you're kind of an asshole and some people transition and regret it so i'll still use female pronouns for now and not believe you, hope you don't mind.' because that's bullshit.

again, the friend in question may very well be an asshole. and OP has every right to treat him as an asshole, and not be his friend, but they can at the very least do it without being transphobic about it.

Just interjecting randomly, but I know a couple people from fandom/irl that got sex changes because they thought it was cool and that they could be "OMG JUST LIKE IN THE YAOIS". I'm not even fucking joking right now, but I sure wish I was.
They still identify as female and admit that they never once felt like a boy or that they were in the wrong body. They just did it for fandom purposes and "omg so edgy and yaoi".


I think it bothers me the most because I'm not cis. Like at all. And they were cis (but now they aren't (?))

Yeah. fandom ruins a lot of things by making it seem "edge-y" and cool.

That's...really scary, actually. I couldn't imagine undergoing any sort of surgery for fandom reasons. :-/

There is a man in my town who apparently underwent reassignment surgery because he wanted to be more like Barbie. The scary thing is, he was mentally handicapped before the surgery, yet somehow a doctor still thought he was worth operating on. Sadly, due to his handicap, the surgery went wrong and the man had to be put in a nursing home, stuck in between transitioning. It's so sad.

A person's body is their own fucking business, and they can do whatever the fuck they want with it, for whatever reason they want, I don't care if that reason is so they can look more like goddamn Pikachu - THEIR BODY, THEIR BUSINESS.

lol no. The reason you have to go through extensive procedures to get these surgeries in the first place is so you are A: deemed competent enough to make your own decisions and B: have a legitimate need to have the surgery. If they didn't do this, hospitals would get sued by every dumbass flake that wanted reassignment surgery for stupid reasons and healthcare would be even more fucked than it already is.
