CJ Bellwether@amberage i think that was specifically a british trans woman but blanking on her name right now and internet not helping; that was more a sad piece about how its taboo to say but not everyone is happy with the result of bottom surgery and she was talking about her own result and how divorced she feels from it.
Definitely a "this seems to be an attempt as self destruction" article in so far as maybe this isnt good for to put out there in press but it wasnt self serving just seemed from a place of deep pain and saddening.
Long Chu put out My Vagina Wont Make Me Happy: It Shouldnt Have To, which much in the same vein as this new one, was a large nyt piece when the NYT was known to already be very anti-trans, just prior to her surgery on how we should be getting rid of the trans medical system entirely and that trans people should just be given hormones / surgery just because they want them, rather than the "narrative" that it improves their lives. “surgery’s only prerequisite should be a simple demonstration of want.” And then the anti-trans groups and the NYT itself took that and ran with it as straight from the horses mouth that trans surgeries are useless and not about healing. And its been echoed around the world to demonstrate why healthcare systems shouldnt be funding it.
