The trans delusion knows no bounds. Just found out one of the foremost surgeons in reversing female genital mutilation also regularly mutilates male genitals into misogynistic pseudo-vaginas. How on earth can these people live with this kind of double consciousness? It makes absolutely zero sense. A friend was recommended this doctor, but despite the good 'she' does, I'm really terrified my friend is putting her life at the hands of someone who has committed countless human rights violations.

You know, at this point, radfem transphobia goes beyond simple gender politics. The complete denial of actual medical procedures and the demonization of the doctors who perform said procedures makes redfems an enemy of modern medicine, almost on the same level as pro-lifers.
FMG's are done against people's will , it's the removal and destruction of female genital parts on females. Reversing FMG's restores the woman to her old self (as much as possible).
Sex change operations are done in accordance with people's will , it's the removal of male parts on females, and the attempt to create the female parts that are missing (or vice versa).
There is no "double consciousness". It makes perfect sense!
What part of human rights violations do you not understand, Anon?
(It's the italic part, right? Right?)
You are apprehensive because YOU do not feel the same way that your friend does, and therefore YOU don't understand it. She does. Fortunately, the decision is not yours to make. Be supportive, not hysterical.
Thanks for the new paradigm. You just replaced my, "If I want to know about Jews, I'll ask a Nazi" comparison with, "If I want to know all about transgenders, I'll ask a Radfem."
I've been thinking about making the switch, but you just clinched it for me. Got to keep up with the times.
A trans-gen operation is usually done at the request of a consenting adult on his/her own body, by a qualified surgeon under anesthetic in a clean sterile environment. Pre-surgical and follow up consultations ensure the health and well-being of the patient throughout the process.
FGM is most commonly done on young girls, usually pre-teens, against their will, often without anesthetic, sometimes without sterile instruments, then they're sewn up so they can barely urinate or menstruate, and often face a lifetime of pain and health complications because of it. This is a subject that has really gotten under my skin lately.
See the difference?
countless human rights violations
He doesn't forces anyone to get operated - to the contrary, he uses phychological tests to reject some, because they doesn't correspond to the medical diagnostic associated with transsexualism.

I believed, while reading the pic, the gal in a dress was the Conservative Christian one while the "tomboy" look like a stereotype of RadFem.
Despite the rhetoric, and weak justification, it all just boils down to a belief that trans-women are icky, therefore they must be opposed.
Right-wingnut style rejection of science and logic, combined with any kind of feminism, radical or otherwise: does not compute. Please, please tell me these are satire sites.
Performing legal surgery on a person according to their will is not a human rights violation. Period.
@Insult to Rocks:
Frankly they're starting to seem like a religion at this point. They worship the female form to the point of several outright calling themselves "goddesses", demonize the male and masculine at every level and scream "HERESY" at anyone who "converts" or offers up scientific or historical evidence that something they believe might be wrong.
You don't know how hard it was for me to not write *blam* after heresy.
"a group fighting oppression calls for oppression against someone else, you think they'd have first hand experience for exactly why that's a bad idea"
Anti-trans radfem: "But *this* ISN'T oppression! It's a fight against political correctness gone EXTREMELY bad!!!"
someone who has committed countless human rights violations
Gender reassignment is always voluntary so how the fuck is it a human rights violation?
Also, I note that you consider the newly created vagina to be inherently misogynistic. Insult to Rocks was right, you're an enemy of modern medicine.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
