Surgery is terrifying! If you have no or mild dysphonia then the idea of someone removing part of you or otherwise changing it is quite disturbing even if the end result is appealing. And that’s if the end result is appealing - it isn’t for everyone. Gender isn’t necessarily tied to what’s in your pants at all.
Comment on Would magically turning all trans people into the gender they want to be be unethical?
Justas@sh.itjust.works 5 months agoFirst of all, I really wanted to hear opinions of trans people. What are the reasons why someone would choose not to have bottom surgery? I expect some people simply can’t afford it or find it too much of a hassle.

Well, my hypothetical scenario implies an instantaneous 100% change with a 100% functionality, at zero cost, specifically for that reason.

I’m sure, if offered, many people would accept the change.

Many trans people also just don’t have any dysphoria regarding their genitals.
