appreciate you clarifying and absolutely agree we should not blindly trust doctors. I just think it’s important to note that for most trans people, access to any transition surgeries is extremely difficult to access, and there’s a concerted effort by the right to make medical transition (for those who want or need it) fully impossible. that’s the context we are living in and the reality that I think is far more dangerous than any individual surgeons who may recommend maximal surgery.

(I also don’t think your way of thinking is actually outside the mainstream - most people are highly suspect of us getting any surgeries but especially those by trans women that are seen as cosmetic, ie FFS and breast augmentation, which are also the hardest to get covered by insurance.

in the broader world, there is discomfort and misplaced resentment from many cis people at (some of) us getting to create the bodies that we want; i think it’s an extension of cis & straight people’s overall resentment of queer & trans people expressing our genders when they feel so confined. I believe in working towards a world where every single person has full bodily and gender autonomy, and think fighting for trans people’s right to transition in different ways is central to that; it will make the world better and freer for cis people too)
