I don’t think it’s so bad for transfemmes, because “top surgery” in that case is the same (I mean, I assume) as a breast augmentation for a cis woman.

Bottom surgery is traditionally oriented around male pleasure at the expense of what trans women actually want. The same thing happens to us, and it happens to our genitals

Could you elaborate on this please? I hadn't heard of that before

[-] princessnorah 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

For a lot of surgeons that do bottom surgery, they care more about how it looks rather than how it feels. i.e. they don’t care if you can’t orgasm.

Oh god well I guess that's one more thing to worry about, thanks for the heads up

[-] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

To add on, they also care more about depth for penetration than sensation

[-] fadingembers 1 points 11 months ago

Do you have any advice for finding surgeons that aren't like that?

[-] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

I haven't done research on it in years
