(12,470 posts)Being transgender is difficult and painful.
I have had top surgery,testosterone ,have a goatee and I dress 80 % masculine.
I wouldn't get a transplant because I have health issues and I see myself as a mix of genders. I appear as a male androgyny and that's where I am on the gender spectrum. I shift between genders.
It's weird you can look at my photos over time even before surgery and testostrone and see my shifts of gender appearance. It truly has a physical,neurological basis. My surgery has done a lot to bring peace to my life.
The war has ended. I am who I really am gender wise.
To stop the pain of another transman is the ultimate kindness.

(15,212 posts)Your desire to have a penis has to be strong enough to be worth that trade-off, which includes higher risk of cancer and a likely shorter lifespan.

(10,156 posts)Hey I mean that is great for them. When I start I don't plan on bottom surgery. Depending on my facial feature. Probably FFS, breast enhancement along with the HRT.

(17,289 posts)All the waiting and wishing now it sounds like it is close to reality 🙂. Yippee.
I'm happy for my fellow transmen and able to get bottom surgery.

(12,470 posts)A penis on a scaffold like they grow other organs,using the patients own cells. A genetic tweek to flip the xx to xy as well could reprogram the body to be male.
I wonder about that,if it could be done. I read about a cis guy in another country that had it done and it worked. I will look for the article don't know if I will find it. If I do find it I'll post it here.

(15,417 posts)I thought even in 1996 if a person got a sex change to be a man they would get a penis.

Conservative run insurance has been fighting against paying for it too.
Right wing control freak pigfuckers.
