She doesn't want to create that reaction in anyone. It makes her feel . . . small, less than a person, as if the fact that she's kind, thoughtful, considerate, hard-working and very smart matter less than her sexual organs, as if who she is matters less than what she used to be."

That's a great sentiment, that sexual organs don't matter. Why then go to the trouble of getting them chopped off?
Oh well done! Textbook example of a straw man.

Go back and read what I actually wrote, and you'll see that it's quite a bit different from your distortion of it, but I think you already know that.

You'll also see that you're just factually wrong. SRS isn't chopping the organs off, it's rearranging the tissues.

Since "she" isn't really a she isn't "she" lying to men, and everyone else?
Ah, now you're begging the question.

No, she isn't lying.

Why is that acceptable?
It benefits her, and doesn't harm anyone else.

Why does it bother you?
