Just looking at the article, people can transition without getting it ripped off (in fact, 90% of MTF people don’t chop it off), and Bunten specifically said they regretted the “sex change”, albeit because this is all the way back in the early 90s, I’m not sure if that refers to just that procedure, or transition as a whole.
Being in the FGC and regularly going to tournaments introduces you to people you’d never meet otherwise, for better or for worse. Anecdotally, I’ve never met an FTM person in real life before, which is honestly somewhat strange, but maybe that’s just me making assumptions.
