I feel a little bad for her first few victims. They didn't know what they were getting into. They probably thought that this surgery would result in something more or less like original factory equipment gonads. That's kind of what I thought until about ten years ago, before the images were easily accessible. I doubt there was much info out there about who was decent at this flesh origami, so they took their chances with Kathy.
Her current victims apparently couldn't do any more research than "she takes my insurance", and even if they were shown pictures of her previous "work", they probably wouldn't have found someone else.
Tribes are formed of common experiences.
Mutilation has become part of that experience. They can exchange the currency of empathy amongst themselves. They can actively "feel" one another's experiences
Sure, it looks bad, but that's not going to happen to them, you see. They'll get the magical designer vajay that would make cissies envious....
The magic from that designer va-JJ is the Bragging Rights that come from the pain & suffering of the surgical horrors. Revision after revision has become part & parcel of the experience.
Doesn't seem to matter if it resembles factory original, they Convince themselves that the "good ones" do regardless. They clearly understand mangled ones Don't.
E + M² + >R = HV
The worse the Experience + the More Mutilation + Revision(s) = Higher Value.
Right now, anyone who goes to her and lets her do her thang to their crotches is basically begging for an abomination. I don't think we christened her "The Butcher of Ardmore" or any of her other nicknames. That's from the trannies themselves who either got mangled by her, or know someone who was.
Her current victims wouldn't even listen to their own tribe, warning them against seeing her. If they won't listen to other trannies, and they won't go to the medical board to get her license yanked after they are left with mangled bits, " they must want this on some level. " [Let them get what they apparently want.]
I think you're Really onto something here. Somehow, This IS what they want, at least in part. Along the lines of, the "Beauty in Suffering" & the MORE the Suffering, more Beautiful the outcome ... the deeper the pain & anguish, the More valuable the result. Race to the bottom so to speak. A competition of sorts for the 'best' worst experience.
They KNOW she's a sadistic butcher. But:
""I SURVIVED THIS. It was SO HORRIBLE.
yet, I SURVIVED IT.""
the Yeeter of Teats has an album of cutters on display. The sleeves of scars on cutters are their badges of courage. The SRS surgical scars may be just as meaningful? the T+ Aren't doing their own cutting this time, they're Willingly handing the scalpel over to butchers. Because it is a relief to Finally not have to do their own cutting? To hand off the responsibility and the guilt to someone else?
To be able to remove personal guilt from their direct actions must be a relief. SRS/GRS is so obviously dangerous with horrible outcomes, it has to be clear even to them. I think IT IS and that's part of the attraction / goal: SYMPATHY ?
To receive a 'punishment' they're inflicting on themselves via 3rd party so is excused in a way to be able to lay the blame at the dr (who IS guilty) but to be able to accrue sympathy / empathy points. &to Garner a kind of "love" they Want but can't feel and don't have or can't give to them selves.
GID Is a mental health disorder (& except for AGP) I wonder how much stems from actual SELF-hate or gender Jealousy (of a brother or sister) VS gender unacceptance
~ Why are they so unacceptable to themselves they're literally Changing what/who they are ?
~ What are they so lacking or can't find within themselves & Why are they so empty that they're fueling themselves up with more emptiness ?
AND, How much of this could be considered a form of Munchausen or maybe stems from hypochondria (more attention when sick) or if anything can be attributed to masochism?
Mostly I wonder Why
