All of this discourse is so deeply chronically online and unreflective of the vast majority of trans people in real life and I feel so assured in that belief because last night I was at the gay bar on Tranny Thursday talking with a group of slightly-older-than-me trans women that I'm acquaintances with about surgeries and that led into a whole conversation how bottom surgery for trans men being under researched and under innovated (compared to other trans surgeries, especially bottom surgery for trans women) is the result of structural misogyny and the sociopolitical control of bodies seen as "naturally female" AND that conversation was initiated by them.
The gay bar on Tranny Thursday truly is my grounding rod and I love being reassured that most people are actually normal about trans politics.
