It takes years of therapy before most doctors will even consider performIg the surgery, and it's painful and expensive and a big fucking deal to get it done.

I highly doubt anyone would go through that unless they really wanted to do it, and not just to get more respect in online fandom communities. The idea that you, and apparently others, think someone would go through all that pain and cost and so on just for more online respect truly boggles my mind.

I supose it depends on the doctor/country you're in. Like I said upthread,
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.

How he got approved for reassignment surgery is beyond me.

...Your faith in humanity is astounding. I mention this because I know someone in real life who did just this. They went through the therapy and did a damn good job of faking it, all because she wanted to be a man to gain respect. Not just online communities, but real life. And that's why I'm bothered by the OP. They mentioned the other person thinks male writers get more respect. It doesn't specify just fanfic writers, but writers. And if they think that about just writing, imagine what they think about other things involving the differences in men and women.

The idea that you think some people aren't fucked up enough to try this boggles my mind. Sure, they're not the majority, but not everyone who transitions is going to do so because they're actually trans.
