Thanks, Pat. I think the BCTS
Thanks, Pat. I think the BCTS software automagically alters the links.

Not sure that's the case.
Looking at other links to Amazon from this site, they all say "bigcloset" somewhere in them. The link I posted doesn't.

I think there's a trick
I think there's a trick involved. BCTS adds a prefix to the link you posted, in this case, the prefix is:
"https://buy.geni.us/Proxy.ashx?TSID=29620&GR_URL="
Check out the https://www.geni.us/ site to see what it's all about.

Too Traumatic For Some.
It was on Facebook also, through YouTube. I watched some of it but felt the view was far too rosy. So many of us encounter unspeakable pain on both sides. My Son, and Oldest Daughter are not OK with it. (Transitioned in 2004) I don't expect them to ever be. My youngest daughter is supportive and feels that the family could have been far less punitive. My analysis of what happened is that I needed a divorce, not to become a woman. It would have been helpful to deal with the PTSD before transition too. I feel like the LGBT psych community just drugged the hell out of me and got me to agree with surgery. A male friend of mine feels like the egos had too much power.
Having said all that, my present life as a woman is pleasant and agreeable. In our culture men are treated like criminals (Yes some are.) and women are in many ways given top drawer treatment. I would not wish to be an 18 year old woman trying to make a life for myself, and coping with all the guys that just want an easy fuck.
As one...
As a 25-year-old owner of a vagina, it is definitely a hard journey. Thankfully, I currently present as female going into a female-dominated field, so it is a bit easier than for some, but I was telling Cat earlier about the creep who almost followed me home on the bus tonight.
Very much not a good trip.
Male Privilege Not Easy to Surrender.
Surgery is the easiest part of it. The moment you give a male response, it is over, no matter how female you look.
