Grown adult is surprised straight women consider male genitalia nonnegotiable, vs a "drawer full of dildos." So, how many gender therapists talk to their TEEN FTM clients about these dating problems, which (judging by how often articles like this appear) are pretty damn common?
"It made me feel sorry for those who have such a limited view of how gender & sexuality works & it helped me realise it isn’t, actually, anything to do with me. It’s a societal problem, theirs not mine."

Is this also what gender therapists tell their 14-yr-old FTM clients?
"What also struck me was how a lot of the replies were penis-centric: “It’s probably the genital issue,” replied more than one. Another answered: “I would assume it’s the thought you don’t have a penis that puts them off."

"Struck"? Did it never occur to you this might happen?
"I have a drawer full of dicks, a size to suit every pleasure and not one of them has ever failed to get up, get hard, or get her off. Not something I can say for these all-singing, all-dancing, superdicks that cis men are apparently endowed with."

Imagine reading this in 1970.
Author is outraged a woman might feel deceived after learning of trans status. "I know I'd be uncomfortable as hell if I had to disclose what my genitalia look like or what my fertility status is to complete strangers."

Again--what are gender therapists telling their teen FTMs?
This stuff isn't funny. Because with the massive increase in teens coming out, this is the reality they'll be facing. Who is helping them understand this, before they take that first T shot? Phalloplasty surgeons must know a huge new market is about to open up...
The bumper crop of teen "gay trans men" are going to face the same issue. Ask any "cis" gay man--male genitalia kinda sorta defines their sexual orientation.

Has anyone ever seen a gender therapist (with teen clients) talk about this? Ever? If you have, please share it here.
How could an FTM repeatedly in this predicament NOT want a phalloplasty--an operation with a very high complication rate, unable to become erect naturally, unable to impregnate (for women who want that), & which still may not prevent sexual rejection?
