1. A brave person took to Twitter yesterday to talk about phalloplasty complications he experienced & to warn others--particularly young ppl--about the potential dangers of the surgery. Predictably, certain activists are attacking him. Why? No one else has the guts to do it.
2. Show us an article on this issue. Show us a trans activist, clinician, politician, or journalist openly & honestly discussing pros & cons of phalloplasty. Show us where anyone has expressed the slightest concern about females who regret undergoing this procedure. Link it here.
3. When we ran this article last year, NO ONE else was talking about the celebrity surgeon who had (at the time) 8 malpractice suits against him. They still aren't.

4. "We ask, why are these actual injuries, suffered by actual transgender people, so much less important to the transgender community than such nebulous insults as “mis-gendering,” the inability to access a desired dressing room, or hurtful Tweets?"
5. Over and over, we see activists condemn any airing of problems with transition--even when those problems are exposed by trans ppl themselves. The activists scream "transphobia!" They viciously attack the bringer of the message. What the hell does this say about the movement?
6. Reactions like this are the norm. On Twitter, the LGBT media, activist orgs, you name it. And the callousness seems particularly marked, sorry to say, from certain MTFs when it comes to harms suffered by FTMs. Although many female gender MDs also evidence an empathy deficit.
