You don't need a vagina to be a woman

I agree with them. You don't need a vagina to be a woman...

So there's no need for the NHS to provide vaginoplasties and hormone blockers then. 😏 Right? I mean, it's their own argument.

I guess because some trans people hate the way they look and long to look the way they feel.

If you had a growth that you didn't like the look of, you'd want it removed even though it won't change who you are on the inside. Many women want their breasts rebuilt after a mastectomy or shave off their body hair, we all have something about our bodies we'd change. And if I had a penis or even just a penis looking growth, I'd want it removed! Wouldn't you?

No, that's not it. Because the 'penis growth' can be removed without trying to make it look like a vagina. It needs to look like a vagina because women do have vaginas.

As the op says, it's number 2474 on the Big List of Unsound Argument.

You can have a penis and be a woman, so no need for expensive surgery etc on the NHS.

I think they say that to invalidate women, they get the surgical holes to validate themselves. Cognitive dissonance is part of the faith.

I thought most transwomen were keeping the penis anyhow? I don’t think the penis is the problem. It’s the accepting of everything else without argument that’s the issue.

There's a difference between hating the way you look and hating a growth on your body.

One is about a physical attribute and the other is a body image.

When our minds tell us things about our bodies, we should question if it is the body or the mind which needs to change or if at all any change is required before altering either one. Rash action would lead to actual damage of either the mind or the body or both.

Well if being a woman has nothing to do with your body, it makes one wonder why some trans people obsess about changing their body to the opposite ummm........opposite 'thing' (sorry, we don't have a word to describe sexes any more).
