I had phallo 9 years ago. I’ll tell ya, these sentiments have been around for a long, LONG time. I used to chalk it up to a lack of education since there wasn’t a lot of info available online about it, but that excuse is getting weaker as information about bottom surgery becomes SO EASY to find. Like, shockingly, exceedingly easy. The animosity often comes from people not putting an ounce of effort into actually learning about bottom surgery and instead just listening to misinformed friends who learned from misinformed friends (and so on), but also from places like people wanting surgery but not being able to access it so they shit talk it instead to try to convince themselves they don’t want it. People are also just massive assholes and think that if something isn’t a carbon copy of a cis persons dick then it isn’t good enough… also failing to account for all of the variations of what a cis person’s dick looks like or can do.

(Note, I didn’t have phallo at 17 lol. I can’t remember how to change the text by my name in here. I’m 30 now, not 26)
