Wow, that's rich. Is it really beyond your comprehension that someone might be deeply hurt by losing the capability to engage in sexual relations with their significant other? I know you say you 'can imagine other people having enough of a problem' but I'm not sure you really do when you word it that way. I agree that it's more expensive and more risky than gender reassignment but I don't understand why someone trying to return to a fully functioning body is considered "elective".
- bayesian_horse 8y agoFrom the emotion in your response I gather you interpreted my words to be derogatory. Far from it, I see self worth and identity as important, and I don't want to judge those who involve their sexual functioning or their appearance in their sense of self worth. I certainly do, to some extent... I just think (or hope) my sense of self worth would survive without it.
