I’m relatively new to this thread but have read a lot of it, and I’m relieved to see that I’m not the only one particularly puzzled and horrified by metoidioplasty.
All of these surgeries are Bad, but it isn’t beyond my comprehension that double mastectomy, rotdog install, and stinkditch gouging are designed to mimic the physical characteristics of the opposite sex.
What is metoidioplasty SUPPOSED to do? From what I can gather it isn’t the first step towards a rotdog, but an entirely distinct procedure with distinct surgical goals, but WHAT ARE THOSE GOALS?
