[MissC]

As for the stuff about marketing...eh, I can see the point, but I think you're overstating it. The idea that you'll never be complete without GRS is definitely pushed within trans circles, but it's not like we're bombarded with neovagina ads. (Which would actually be kind of entertaining)

Perhaps slightly... but sometimes one must exaggerate a bit to make a point, no?

You hit the nail on the head: the idea is definitely pushed in trans circles. I see it as beyond that, actually. Consider my position. You're actually being reasonable here; other TS-folk scream bloody murder if I make the comparison. GRS is sacred dogma to many.

It's in this thread, matter of fact. The assertion that some people cannot live (and I mean in the physical sense, live) without GRS is not backed up by one shred of scientific evidence. Yet it's here. Insisting on the verity of scientifically unverifiable assertions is, by its very nature, religious dogma, or fundamentally equal to it at the least.

Also, you really do not seem to hate raining on anyone's parade, at any given opportunity MissC. That's actually kind of your thing!

It may seem that way, but no, I do not enjoy raining on parades. What I do enjoy is killing & grilling sacred cows, and shaming naked emperors. They are different things that sometimes look similar at first glance.
