7. cool, so can the law please fucking let my pre op FTM
Boyfriend know what bathroom to use since he still lives his life as a TG butch dyke? He was escorted out of the women's bathroom at Carnegie Hall even though 99 times out of 100 he does not pass for a male since he is not on T yet.

Why be uncomfortable with TG people in the bathroom? Are they afraid that TG people will be 'attracted' to them in their vulnerable, nude state? How is it any different than gay or lesbian people in your bathroom?

Of all the FTMs I know, ZERO want bottom surgery the way it stands today. It is incredibly risky (they remove the vaginal canal and rewire the urethra) with almost zero sexual benefits (you can't exactly get an erection or feel sexual pleasure). Not to mention that the whole magilla can cost $100,000. Most FTMs use packies and silicone dicks. Most FTMs I know are more concerned about their pecs than their penises anyway.

The fact that the government forces FTMs to go through risky, useless, expensive surgery that they don't even want to get 'their papers' is madness.

We live in NYC because a major city is the best chance we have to live without discrimination. Oh well.

GRRRRRRRRR.
