That entire post of yours was geared to dismissing it as something that is not essential because some women choose not to.
No. It wasn't.
I discussed notions of femininity in relation to childbirth - which you brought up. I did not mention SRS, HRT, or FFS. Not at all. Not once, not even slightly. Not even hinting. And certainly not 'gearing'. Nor did I even begin to suggest that those three factors were not basic essentials. I did say in my second post to you, that FFS was not essential for all because we don't all have heavily masculine features - which you brought up. I didn't say it wasn't essential for those who do, and who want to change that. Now in my third post to you, I will simply use FFS in its other, text speak meaning - FFS!
My post was 'geared' in a completely different direction. If you're a speaker of English as a second language, then fair enough for your wild and hurtful misunderstanding. Do not seek to attribute opinions and views to me that I haven't expressed. The whole post was wrapped around that one factor, and actually how dare you come back to me on this, in that tone, about where my motives were 'geared' with this - when I offered a heartfelt and honest few paragraphs of my deepest feelings about probably the most important thing, bar none, to me - and the lengths to which I would be prepared to go were it to become viable.
I chose to share that with you, and others, as part of a compassionate and truthful conversation, and you come back to tell me that I actually meant something else? You've engaged with nothing I shared, while coming back to me twice on it. The only one who has been dismissive of anyone's feelings here is you, towards me.
