@Susan_Larson_TN You don't represent us, Susan, when you secretly ban discussion of the surgeries some of us want on your site.
@Susan_Larson_TN You and your staff violated me.
@Susan_Larson_TN Your staff edited my post such that it appeared to simply my own words claiming to have gotten a different type of surgery, banned me for complaining, and then you personally backed the actions of your staff and tried refuse to delete the inaccurate post.
@Susan_Larson_TN I tried to discuss it with you privately on Twitter at the time. You dismissed my concerns and blocked me.
I have nothing else to say to you, unless you've changed your mind about your secret ban on discussing certain nonconforming surgeries and want to apologize to me.
If you wish to appeal the decision, you can approach our new forum admin. I will leave any decision totally up to her and will not attempt to influence her in either direction.
Discussing that specific surgery was prohibited because it reflects negatively on the entire community as it is seen as a fetish, and it would be used to further attack our community as a whole, and likely result in my site being blocked in filtering software products.

@Susan_Larson_TN Aside from deranged TERFs, who will describe any gender affirming surgery as a fetish, you're the only one who I've ever encountered describing bigenital surgeries as such.
Most cis people who don't already hate trans people just seem to think it's cool that such things are possible.
Trying to be "one of the good ones" doesn't help.
@Susan_Larson_TN WPATH 8 says such surgeries are medically necessary.
The world - the part that doesn't hate us, at least - has moved on from the prescriptive nonsense about "the one true way to be trans" that you seem to be clinging to.
@ryanc @Susan_Larson_TN Yeah this is exactly the kind of gross horrifying bullshit id expect from the founder of Susan's Place
Literally everyone else in the movement has the concept of "Erasing/Disavowing parts of our community to pander to the cis does not help the movement and will literally end in people getting killed"
And the way she just feeds you like a blank template as a response rather than talking as a human being is also just, uhhhhHHHHH yikes!!
I gave you an option for an independent review. I suggested you could start another site to discuss the topic. I have never said anyone shouldn't have the surgery. I have never looked down on anyone who feels they need it. I just don't allow it to be publicly discussed on my site. I am done talking about this here. Have a wonderful life both you and Astryr.
