Trans women are constantly subjected to a "catch-22" in regards to our genitals. On the one hand we're subjected to a decades-long campaign of transmisogynistic medicalism that requires trans women to want vaginoplasty and to seek it. But then on the other hand we are subjected at the same time to gatekeeping and fetishization that blocks trans women from being able to get vaginoplasty. And that same culture also regards us as "mutilated freaks" that have "permenantly ruined" our bodies when we are able to get vaginoplasty. We're damned if we do and damned if we don't, and that is by design. There is no version of a trans woman's body that is acceptable to cisnormative society.

So it is absolutely monstrous that there is such a pervasive attitude which paints trans women who have had vaginoplasty as "not real trans women" — even and especially among trans women ourselves!

Like, every fucking day on this hellsite I'll watch y'all do things like get angry at an artist for depicting a trans woman character as having a vagina. Once I had a date walk out on me the moment she learned I'd had vaginoplasty, and she was a trans woman! I've even had a lot of trans women insist that those of us who've had vaginoplasty have cissexual privilege now!

Like, how do y'all not see that this is just transmisogyny of the exact same caliber that reinforces the fetishization of us? This is the same shit that is used to justify the medical gatekeeping we are all subjected to!

Erm what if Tasuku wasn’t killed and the Mother Essence left him with some…changes
