Like there are some people who think that we're not valid if we don't. Don't people know how expensive and painful it is. Plus some of us just like what we got ya know. I'm proud to be a trans girl who still has the bits. Why is this so hard for people to understand? Also some people seem to think it's much more common than it actually is.

Because for many of us it's lifesaving. I still really want it but I want it less than I did before since HRT has shrunk my penis substantially, before I literally wanted to cut my penis off and I fantasized a lot about doing it. I had friends who actually did, and they still ended up killing themselves bc of it. Bottom surgery saves lives.
