    When I was a kid growing up abroad, a bunch of us used to go to a friend's house for lunch on schooldays. My friend was into medicine (he's now very successful in that domain) and there was a TV show that was basically entirely-uncensored surgeries.

    It was brutal. No holds barred. From heart surgery to brain surgery to what the fuck ever.

    They even showed sex-change operations.

    Here we are, 15 year olds watching genital mutilation at lunchtime whilst muching sandwiches and playing computer games. Wouldn't happen in Blighty. Well, pre-internet, I suppose.

    This is mid-early 90s. I'm sure things have improved, but I'm also sure they're nowhere near the sci-fi ideal of perfect gender transition.

    It's clumsy sewing and brutal re-use of ... bits.

    I'm sorry, I can't possibly begin to re-route my brain to accomodate a few transgenders who demand the rights of full femininity, because it's just fucking not.

    I'll respect you for who and what you are, but you're not a woman. Sorry. You're not.

    • There was a Trans/Terf grafitti war in the toilets here. I had to look up what a 'terf' is. I found it strange that such a term was required.Nairn

      I don't have a grafitti war in my toilet at home. yet.

    • FYI I was eating earlier when I scrolled down and read that, so thanks for that. I didn't need to Google - my mind fleshed out the horror all on its own.Nairn
