The "Sex Change" Dichotomy
Or, "some girls have penises, and some guys don't."

The Transgendered Imagination

QuoteUpon talking to a non-op TS female friend of mine (who shall remain nameless), she told me of her initial experiences in transitioning, and the pressure she faced to get Sex/Gender Reassignment Surgery (SRS/GRS). When she began, her initial intention were to get GRS within two years. But eventually, she realized that all of the pressure she was feeling internally to transition her primary sex characteristics were coming from external sources. She was not doing it for herself, but rather for the sex/gender binary of the outside world, which seemed to consumer her. In the end, she decided that GRS was not in her interests, and proceeded to be non-op after an orchidectomy (removal of testes).
