Post-op Reason.

For starts, here is the most recent study on violence against Trans women:

As a matter of fact, in Washington DC it was reported today that two Trans women were attacked, and one died.

(Note the title of the article "Transgender Man.." nothing like a slap in the face on top of it all).

We also had the recent trial of Leticia Green's killer in NY and Angie Zapata in CO. In NYC there has been a recent upswing in attacks on Trans women in the Bronx.

I do want to note that I am not exactly opposed to the general premise of the topic. SRS is not the holy grail of all Trans Women and should not be presented as such by either other trans women or our doctors. SRS is by no means a "fix" for being trans. On the other hand, for many trans women it is a very important step on their path to feeling like a whole functioning productive member of society. It is a deeply personal decision and one that absolutely must be respected.

Being somewhere in the middle - that is not feeling particularly compelled to have SRS, but not having any real emotional/sexual attachment to my penis (I'm really quite ambivalent about the whole thing - it's just not important enough to spend much time on). I see both sides and having anyone try to influence someone in either direction isn't pretty.
