And... some doctors are better than others, or are better with some changes than others. Remember also, there is more than a little pressure on gals in the industry and someone somewhere is more than willing to be critical of how any woman looks. Add that to gals trying to lengthen the already tiny "shelf life" of a trans* porn star ...

It could be that some TS are suffering from a disorder, where they see themselves as something physically different than they are. Like anoerxics who SEE themselves as far, even when they are horribly underweight. It's not far of a stretch, seeing that not too long ago, just being transgendered was seen as crazy. I gues it's possible that a percentage of them really are suffering from a form of mental illness. But seeing how much sway the PC crowd and the gay p.r. folks have, I doubt anyone would dare to explore it.
* I see what you mean about the shelf life thing. That's probably the most likely answer.
