In addition to what OwlFancier said, there are two more erasons: Firstly, capitalism cannot survive without infinite economic growth, and it's a lot harder to have (the illusion of) infinite economic growth when the population is shrinking. Secondly, they're specifically concerned about population decline among very specific types of people lest those types be "replaced" with other types...

It's implying there's just one singular medical procedure involved in gender reassignment instead of the process involving lots of different things done over an extended period of time. So it's not "the surgery" like the idiot said.

His use of "the" could imply a singular gender affirming surgery, when in fact there are many surgeries available to people to help with different areas of their body they may be uncomfortable with.

It's a little bit of a nitpick in the sense that it could mean "the specific surgery they were surveyed about" but if the survey is overall satisfaction in the process then it is possible that participants have undergone a series of them conducted over quite a long timespan so the idea that people would have to wait until after their last one to form an opinion is a bit iffy. And they have also possibly undergone non-surgical but not-exactly-casual things like hair removal too so the entire idea that it's a binary Surgical Event is a bit silly.

And of course also terfy types I think tend to assume it's just one event where they lop your willy off with a big chopper and that's it.

Oh, okay. I guess I get it. So, is this some kind of rhetorical weapon being used by TERFs in some way?

I have two transgender friends who are going to have surgery eventually. I guess in my mind the whole thing could be done in one go, but no? I'm not a TERF, I'm just ignorant.

I think that'd be a bit much for your body, if you were having top and bottom surgery done. Some people get facial adjustments too, and such.

Like the poster above me says, that's a lot for the human body and most are not done at one time. For a trans femme person, they may not do any top surgery. They may not do any bottom surgery, either! My ex wasn't planning on it, and it's still up for debate for me. Some may get laser hair removal or facial feminization surgery, etc etc.

For trans masc people top surgery is common but bottom surgery is less common (from what I've seen). And again, all of these are up to the individual as to what they are comfortable with or want to have done.

That's not even counting plain ol' HRT.

Either way there's no "the" surgery.

Yeah, there was a lady back in 2010 named Heidi Montag (she was from either a reality show or a soap opera, I forget) who was infamous for having had 10 plastic surgery procedures in one day.

quote:

The surgeries included a breast enlargement, chin reduction, brow lift, nose job revision, liposuction, buttock augmentation, fat injections, and botox.

I remember there was a lot of discussion around "Uh, assuming this is true, maybe we should be looking closer at the doctor(s) involved?" Like it's just taxing as hell on the body; some people get exhausted the rest of the day after getting a tattoo, for example. Not me, I'm built different. :smug:

It's not a major chain, but does have a fair amount of papers. It's also not a major reactionary chain, so I expect Adams ain't going to be running very many places soon if mine pulled the plug on him.

I don't think so. It just shows that they're ignorant. I suppose it could be used to imply that it's easy to be "tricked" into getting a surgery that you don't really want but I can't imagine that has any real teeth. In any case I think this guy made an off-hand remark he wasn't thinking too much about that in itself isn't really a big deal, but his incredibly overblown reaction is really funny. More people should learn that you can just...not reply to people. Someone said something that feels like a slight but you don't understand what it means? Just ignore it!

Trans people are frequently asked “have you had the surgery yet?”

It doesn’t make sense to use the definite article, but it is used.

What’s more important is that it’s just an incredibly inappropriate question. So it’s a sore spot for many.
