[08:09] Isambard_Prince I agree with Richard Stallman that we should generally refer to people as they ask to be. But what's going on with Lobsta or Keith is "different". [08:09] Isambard_Prince Keith had like a dozen psychiatrists say that he was not transgender. [08:09] Isambard_Prince And that he was not a candidate. [08:09] Isambard_Prince They were approving other people for the surgery, but they said he was not transgender. [08:11] Isambard_Prince The reason I didn't go along with that with Keith was that a lot of professionals who deal with this every day all agreed. [08:11] Isambard_Prince He wasn't trans, he was trying to escape the shame of abandoning his family. [08:11] Isambard_Prince Anyone accusing him of that was deadnaming him. [08:11] Isambard_Prince So you can't go along with that. You can't give those people an inch. [08:12] Isambard_Prince But for the most part, like 99.9% I'll just go along with what they like to be called.

[08:18] Isambard_Prince That Vince person seems sweet, but I just don't know. [08:18] Isambard_Prince Sweet or lovebombing or ulterior motive. [08:19] Isambard_Prince He's known me for like three days and he said he'd be willing to come up here and stay with me and take me to medical appointments and stuff. That sounds too good to be true. [08:19] Isambard_Prince They're never this nice. [08:20] Isambard_Prince But then again I don't want to ignore him completely because what if I miss one that really is that nice.

[09:20] Isambard_Prince Then posted from a hotel room in Thailand "Who knew it would be this painful?" [09:20] Isambard_Prince To have your penis surgically removed? [09:20] Isambard_Prince Literally everyone with a penis can imagine how painful that might be. [09:21] Isambard_Prince I would never undergo major surgery for any purely cosmetic reason. [09:22] Isambard_Prince I already don't want to do one over a broken shoulder. [09:22] Isambard_Prince Getting cosmetic things changed around shouldn't be a business. [09:22] Isambard_Prince You should never be ashamed of who you are or hold yourself to someone else's standards. [09:23] Isambard_Prince I'm hardly the most attractive man on Earth and I still get lots of attention. So, like, even if the surgery to make me look better somehow were free, there's always risks. [09:23] Isambard_Prince Pain, infection, in the case of female breast implants they can start leaking and kill the person who got them. [09:24] Isambard_Prince Trans men having breast removal, well, there's risks there. Pain, infection, the surgeon could do nerve damage or hit an artery, anesthesia is always a risk.
