You can find TONS of stories describing exactly this from trans women -- clinging to their memory of their voice before endogenous puberty as their "real voice", trying to "hold onto it" or "reclaim it"

Of course, in their case, this is of no concern to you, because if nature causes it then it's fine and it's what's meant to happen and wanting it not to happen is a form of diseased male entitlement

(I just need to point out again the raging, narcissistic hypocrisy here Piously saying "No body is ever wrong, all bodies are perfect" UNLESS that body has been "mutilated by the medico-pharmaceutical complex" You can talk shit about those bodies all you like)

There is definitely obvious hypocrisy from someone like Sharron Davies hopping on this particular bandwagon when she's endured constant hounding from UK tabloids for using Botox etc

Several cosmetic surgeries too...and used IVF (a big no no for TERFs). But transphobes will accept anyone as ally as long as they hate trans people.

The specific subset of TERFs who have IVF and surrogacy launch ALL of their venom at trans women and cis gay men and ZERO of it at the infertile cishet couples who make up the vast majority of clients Because they're at heart conservatives
