Should androgynes be allowed SRS?

[Alison]

then you shouldn't expect any problems, should cha?  still i stand by what i said.  androgynes shouldn't get grs, yet if you can prove to a therapist (not to me) that you are severely dysphoric by following the standards and completing the rle, then it should be a piece of cake, shouldn't it?

You contradicted yourself Katia...   you still think androgynes shouldn't get SRS...... but if Andra is dysphoric enough to qualify, thats ok with you? (not that it matters)  You're aware that Andra is androgyne? (used as the umbrella term)

And .. out of curiosity... GRS.  How did you reassign your gender? were you male before surgery?

i did? i don't think so

i dont think they should, yet a therapist may agree to put his signature on the grs consent.  i sure wouldn't. ha ha.  what i'm aware of isn't relevant but you know what is? the therapist's opinion.  consequently, a therapist might have a different diagnosis for andra.  dunno.

And .. out of curiosity... GRS.  How did you reassign your gender? were you male before surgery?

ha ha ha ha , no, no, no, no, no, no! grs stands for genital reassignment surgery, capiche?   oh sweet naiveness!

What you're saying is that if enough Gender Dysphoria exists in an individual, they should be allowed to get SRS done? In cases where this occurs in an Androgyne, that should still be allowed?

If someone doesn't feel right enough in their body that they experience that much dysphoria, they're the ones that are going to get SRS done anyways. I believe you're just interested in SRS being reserved for people who need it enough so that the act itself doesn't become trivial and nonimportant.

I can certainly see where you're coming from on that as long as you're not excluding the androgynes just because they don't feel entirely one of the gender binaries. Supposedly gender and sex are still seperate and so you shouldn't consider the gender when determining what sex someone is supposed to look like.

Just some thoughts

Yes and No
It's depending of the individu.
For some people it's maybe okay, but their might be other people that it's not a good option.
Cause I believe that people that see themself as androgyne, sometimes change in their experiences.
example, maybe not the best but just try to explain my thoughts ; transgender or have phases

Or genital reconstruction surgery. But don't be ashamed of you who are.  Admit it and be proud.  If you deny it, nothing will be gained.  Got that? ~laugh~
