I obviously don't know Keira Bell. But I have seen quotes from her that say, in effect, transition doesn't work because it doesn't change one's body enough. Which is... interesting.https://twitter.com/Lux_fae/status/1356689157557530625 …

Exactly Her "I was around all these 6 ft tall men, I wasn't one of them" quote, really stuck by me It really seems she reached the limits of how far the transition could go, and then saw terf rhetoric saying "see? you 'll always be a woman" and clung to it

Actually, thinking on it, I think that is likely a reason why she is so mad at "trans women are women" and talking of trans women having periods getting pregnant I think shes jealous and angry at her perception of better transition results for trans femmes

That is definitely incredibly common. There’s a lot of bitterness about how transfems have more “options” than transmascs do.

I was unaware, but makes total sense In the same way transfemmes tend to be jealous that trans men tend to "pass" easier, or aren't the main focus of media attacks I'd love to hear more on this !

I think it's mostly about GRS. There are things that can be done to make our downstairs more tolerable, but we can't have both full function and full sensation.

You absolutely can have full "function" and sensation with phalloplasty. Please do not spread this myth.

Hi there. I wanted to be really sensitive to guys with phallo, but I feel you're forcing me to be more specific. You cannot achieve an erection through the movement of blood in response to your arousal alone, or ejaculate semen. That is what my dysphoria centers around.

I get that. Although an inability to produce semen or achieve erection without meds/ED is not exclusive to trans men. My issue stems from people making vague blanket comments about "function" and sensation, thereby further perpetuating myths and misinfo

Fair enough- maybe my instinct to tiptoe around potential sensitivities is more my own hangup. I'll try to keep that in mind.
