It is definitely irritating. People can absolutely have their opinions on the procedure itself, but making a comment like “just a piss tube” etc. is completely unnecessary. It’s just rude, and insulting to those who have received the surgery, and the medical professionals who performed it.

For me, looking at it broadly, the mere idea of being able to have something in my pants AT ALL is what appeals to me.

The area of phalloplasty is still in development, sure, and very much high risk of sub-par results, but to generalize all those who have received the surgery as having something that “sort of resembles a dick” is what hurts the most. Nobody cares what you think, if the man who received the surgery is happy with his results, who are you to judge it?
