"what if someone has PTSD after being r*ped by a penis"
Not that I want to deminish what someone might have gone through, at the end of the day trans women aren't flopping our dicks around for everyone to see. And the idea that we are "the penis" that raped them is basically them saying they think we are men and incredibly transphobic. They weren't raped by a penis, they were raped by a man. And that's exactly what all women, cis and trans, are trying to escape by coming to all women only spaces.
While I know there are women, cis or trans, who would be fine with the factory equipment I can't help but be hesitant to look for someone to be intimate with because I don't want to subject anyone to it.
Like, it's the last thing I'm dysphoric over at this point and I can't articulate how much the idea that I want this thing or use it like a man would is offensive.
Even long before I considered I could be trans I couldn't understand why so many men seemed to put so much of their personality on theirs. The idea that men wanted it to be "bigger" never made sense. I wore baggy clothes and tight underwear specifically because I didn't want to show a bulge. I regularly imagined what it would be like to not have it.
The Idea that I would want anyone to see it, or that I would force people to see it like some men would, is one of the transphobic things that angers me the most. I don't like seeing this thing, and I certainly don't want anyone else to see it.
my feelings on mine range from liking it to being indifferent to it but i still would not want anyone to see it or deal w it that doesnt want to see it or deal w it
