Should the way SRS surgeons construct so-called “neovaginas” be above a feminist analysis? The criticism here is focused on the actions of those in power, not on the choices of individuals who are arguably victims of this system. The techniques of the surgery to construct a “neovagina” are partly based on the ones perpetrated on unwilling children. The standard of success is based on the ability to be penetrated by a male, and no other functionality is even considered or aspired to. Only appearance is even considered – not function, feel, taste, smell.

Is it not misogynistic to call this surgically-constructed wound a “neovagina?” What is created has nothing to do with what a vagina is. A “neovagina” is literally designed to be a fuck-hole maintained by dilation in order to keep the wound from healing properly.
