This is the main reason that I decided to put this section here in the first place. It is excessively frustrating to
answer these questions over and over again for the last three years. I understand that people just don't know a lot about
Transsexualism, and I was happy to answer all the questions people had in the beginning, but I am not know for my patience,
and it has worn thin. I am now totally exasperated with the subject, and generally don't tell people that I'm TS anymore.
The human species seems to go out of it's way to make this a complicated issue, when it is very simple. I'm a guy, I'm gay,
and my body's gender is incorrect. Think of it as a birth defect. If you do have anymore questions for me when you are done
reading this, by all means, ask them. I'll be sure to put them up here. |

Why do you want to be a guy? This is the most common question I get. First off, you have to understand that it isn't a choice. I AM a guy. The fact that my physical form is female is irrelevant. My body is a prison. Someone screwed up on the assembly line, and this is the result. If you are attracted to men, and your body is female, why don't you just have sex as a woman? This is the second in line for most frequently asked, but I think it is one of the most frustrating. The difference between
a woman having sex with a man, and a man having sex with a man are worlds apart. I cannot have sex as a woman. I've tried
it before, and it left me feeling violated and dirty. This is what lead me to discouver the fact that I am TS. I had to
find out what was wrong. It would be psychologically damaging for me to have sex as a woman. My vagina has not been penetrated
in years, except for one accident, and I plan to keep it that way. Well then, how do you have sex? I have sex as a gay man. I must use a strap on, of course, and it's not an easy task, I can tell you that! I have to be able to tell whether I'm still inside my lover when I cannot see or feel what I'm doing. I enjoy being penetrated anally, and visa versa. Of course I can't orgasm when I'm penetrating my partner, but it's a psychological thing, and I get off on the fact that I'm making him feel good. I also have sex orally, and this is the most common way for me to orgasm. Due to the Testosterone injections, my clitoris has grown and is treated like a small penis during oral sex. What part of your anatomy is still female? I still have my breasts and vagina. I am having my chest surgery (mastectomy), in the spring of 2002, and my hysterectomy
(removal of the uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes), which will also remove my vaginal cavity, will be soon to follow.
I have no idea when my phalloplasty (creation of penis and testicles) will take place, as this will cost me $30 000 U.S.
(Donations are welcome! *grin*) So currently, all of my female anatomy is still intact. What exactly happens during surgery? Well, for a mastectomy, the nipples are removed and repositioned. Excess skin is trimmed off, and the mammary glands are completely removed. For a Hysterectomy, the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and vaginal cavity are removed. (A hysterectomy performed under normal circumstances would remove only the uterus and fallopian tubes, but it's a little different for TS's). This is normally done lacroscopically (with tools through the navel and abdomen, to reduce scarring.). A phalloplasty is created by making a phallus from the skin on the forearm. Then the clitoris is used, with nerves still attached, to form the head of the penis. The urethra is moved, elongated and positioned correctly within the phallus. The labia is reshaped into a scrotum to hold the artificial testicles. These are just brief descriptions. If you want more detailed information, or pictures, click here: |
