You are contributing to the discussion.
I agree with you. If a GLO wants to require/force/verify surgery then that GLO is in rough territory. I would much rather a GLO deny someone who says she or he is transgender than requiring/forcing/verifying surgery. Even checking the birth certification is objectifying and dehumanizing. Most GLOs don't check genitalia, biological sex and gender, surgical history, and birth certificates for applicants and members NOW and we should NEVER do that.
ETA: 33girl, thanks for the reminder. I can't believe I used that term and have edited my first post. For the GCers who are unfamiliar:
