i think most of it comes from the fact that almost everyday there are the same questions asked, like "can you feel it" or "does it look real", "can you have sex" and stuff like that which are very easily answered by a 5min search in the sub. I dont think your question falls exactly into that category of questions but people on there have gotten a bit sensitive in regards to stuff like that.

Not a participant on that sub, but I'd imagine many people might feel a little uncomfortable or sensitive (not sensitive in the bad way, just it's a lot more of a sensitive topic than T changes for example) having to answer questions about their dicks. I mean, it's their genitals. Genitals that are often chased or constantly shamed by cis people or even mean spirited trans people. It can suck feeling like your existence or parts of your existence are nothing more than something to be asked constant questions or be ridiculed for not looking "real" or "normal."
Not to say it's okay to be downvoted, but I dunno I think it's good to keep in mind that it's a pretty sensitive topic.

a lot of us are done with answering repeated questions. i’m usually one of the few who does answer them when people say to look at the sub but even i’m tired of it…. 5 people ask the same thing every day without looking at other posts or just doing even a slight amount of research. unfortunately also you’re asking in a sub that’s a lot of pre op people who can’t answer post op questions either. the pre op people far outweigh the few post op people still active.
it wouldn’t be so bad if it was occasionally answering the same thing but i tend to make short sweet answers now because if not i’d be typing an essay every couple hours for the same thing

A lot of questions are easily answered with a crumb of research.
A lot more questions are vague and don't actually ask something that has a real answer.
It's pretty tiring when many of us have spent years researching these surgeries. Doesn't mean it's 100% right to have no patience for pre op questions.
OP (downvoted)
It honestly makes me not want to be apart of the sub because more often than not people are rude and downvote my comments when I explain that it’s been difficult for me to find information.

Yeah sorry I meant to finish my thought with my earlier comment. I can understand the annoyance post op people experience (myself included) but I also think people should be able to ask questions because it's not always clear where to look to find accurate information.
I'm sorry you don't feel welcome, please don't let this experience stop you from participating. These surgeries are amazing and I wish more people knew that so they at least don't bash on it even if it's not right for them.
