I think @monkers has previously argued this point quite eloquently which is that generally they do because that which applies to men in terms of illegal or obnoxious behaviour also applies to women.
Thank you for this. In the past I tried reasonable argument. However reading more than 15 000 posts, many written by those who are either not interested in facts, the lived experiences of trans women, instead revelling in the bigotry of the chief protagonists on here, I am reduced to telling the moron who keeps tagging me with his lies to ''just fark off''.
The floppy penis lie told by Aurora and believed by her useful idiot refers to comments made in #1000.
The bigots love to tell of the numbers of trans women who retain a penis. Here is the truth behind the situation under the current regime in the UK.
A person begins transition with the aim of obtaining a GRC. The process typically starts with the person complaining to their GP of gender incongruence. The GP refers the person to a psychiatrist to assess if transition is appropriate to that person. This is often seen as a 'gatekeeping process', though to be fair, a process that looks to identity comorbid psychiatric conditions is in my opinion at least a reasonable starting point.
The GP then has to apply to the relevant local health trust for funding for the transition process. Once funding is secured, the GP makes a referral to the gender identity clinic. The waiting list for these clinics is currently reported to be in the order of 5 to 7 years for a first appointment In the meantime the person is left unsupported.
After the first appointment, it is possible that the person may go on to prescribed hormone therapy after a further wait of about 6 months.
Atrophy of the penis, testicles, and scrotum begins with about a month. After three months it is significant. The timing of surgery is critical. One of the most important issues is dependent on donor material for surgery. If the wait between the prescription of hormones and the opportunity for surgery is left too long, then the extent of the atrophy may mean that insufficient donor material for surgery remains.
The long delays has led to transitioners remaining on hormones for years with surgery being delayed again and again. These people then become unsuitable for penile inversion surgery. So you should be able to understand that many of those trans women who retain a penis, do so involuntarily.
Frankly the view from some that transitioners retain the libido or the ability to rape are outlandishly ridiculous.
This is completely distinct from men who experience erectile disfunction which is often temporary or maybe remedied. ED does not lead to atrophy.
I dare say the idiotic Dutchman living in the UK will tag me in the next round of his purile comments. He needn't bother, my response will be the usual.
