#sex reassignment surgery

[religion-is-a-mental-illness]

"Hi, my name is Shape. I started identifying as transgender at 22 while still in college. Before that, I was just a feminine gay man.

Being asked about my pronouns led me to research transgender ideology, and pretty quickly I got convinced that I was [a] transgender woman.

I was able to get hormones relatively easily through Fenway Health and was only on them for a year before receiving facial feminization and breast augmentation surgeries at 23.

Taking hormones actually worsened my mental health, but therapists thought that it was because I was stuck in the wrong body. They cleared me for sex-reassignment surgery by diagnosing me with Gender Identity Disorder.

Immediately after SRS, I was super-excited to start a new life. I was happy for a few months while recovering, however soon I realized that my new part wasn't what doctors promised me.

My neo vagina started constricting despite rigorous dilation, which resulted in me developing vaginal stenosis. This left me unable to have penetrative sex, which adversely impacted my mental health. I also lost my sex drive, my motivation to achieve anything, and became brain-fogged and lethargic.

I had multiple unsuccessful revisions attempting to get a few inches of neo vaginal tunnel. I even had colon vaginoplasty. The last revision was at the University of Miami by Dr. Christopher Sargara in 2018, and it left me with a colorectal fistula.

I've been all over the country trying to seek help but I have received none.

Earlier this year after hitting rock bottom with my depression, I reached out to a new therapist. The therapist helped me realize that I have Complex PTSD from a traumatic childhood, and also pointed out that I have body dysmorphia, OCD, borderline personality and bipolar disorders. I also realized I had internalized homophobia.

I realize now that medical transition was sold to me as a hardware fix for software issues.

A few months ago I started detransitioning by taking testosterone, however it is traumatic to be on testosterone without having functional genitals. Moreover, my back hurts every day due to osteoporosis and scoliosis that I developed post-SRS.

I'm now dependent on synthetic hormones for life. I traded my perfectly healthy genitals for an artificial 1-inch tunnel that is sexually non-functional.

I realize that I'm never getting back a functional penis, and full detransition is not really possible in my case. I feel stuck in a surgically created body.

I believe nobody under 18 should be allowed to medically transition. Sex-reassignment surgery should only be allowed in very rare cases after full psych evaluations. Patients should be made aware that what they're really getting is cosmetic surgery, and it's a genital approximation surgery that does not change biological sex.

Thank you."

What do you do when you're a detransitioner who can't detransition?

Meet Shape Shifter. His body has an open wound that it keeps trying to close over, because it's not supposed to be there.

This isn't "healthcare," it's cosmetic surgery. It's no more "healthcare" than getting a new haircut is a cure for depression.

Becoming Jeanne: A Search for Sexual Identity

In December 1977, Dr. Jeanne Hoff, a 39-year-old psychiatrist, invited a television crew into her Manhattan home. The next day, they would accompany her to the operating room for her gender-affirming surgery. “Becoming Jeanne: A Search for Sexual Identity,” the resulting documentary about Dr. Hoff’s experience, was shown the next spring on NBC, with Lynn Redgrave and Frank Field as the hosts.

She took a course of hormones and was accepted as a man, working as a driver and a fire watcher during the Second World War, undergoing breast removal and changing her birth certificate in 1944 to Laurence Michael Dillon – now the male heir to a baronetcy. His transition would be discovered by the entry in Debrett's Peerage in 1958, which was altered to show a new heir to the baronetcy. Dillon enrolled in a school of medicine at the end of the war and undertook at least 13 sex-reassignment surgeries. He wrote: 'Where the mind cannot be made to fit the body, the body should be made to fit, approximately at any rate, to the mind.'

I don't regret this surgery process, but I do wish it wasn't taking so long. The anxiety of not knowing how long this will take and when it will be over has been so hard to live with.

I saw my urologist to talk about the urethral hookup. (Actually I saw a different urologist, who referred me back to my normal urologist, waisting weeks of my time). Before he'll even schedule the surgery, he told me to stop dilating the urethra for 6 weeks so they could measure it and make sure it's both wide enough and not narrowing. Which is in direct opposition to my plastic surgeon telling me to dilate so it stays open until the hookup.

Then my urologist said he doesn't even know if the hookup will work. There's about 9cm of urethra that needs to be built to connect the two ends. He offered to use as much surrounding skin as he could, but said he would still need an extensive buccal mucosa graft. He also said that the remaining clitoral nerves would need to be relocated, and there's a chance I'll lose all sensitivity to sexual arousal or that it will be significantly limited.

My other option would be to do a staged surgery, where he'll create a urethral plate that heals for 6 months before being tubularized (which is how he did my stricture repair, and I hated it). And then move the clitoral nerves to the side where they would sit as a sort of "pleasure button". So I wouldn't feel the arousal in the penis, but I wouldn't risk losing it altogether.

I just want this process done so I'm pushing for the riskier one stage surgery. And I could theoretically go to the other urologist because his wait time is shorter, but if anything goes wrong (which I know very well it could) that will only slow me down more and lead me back to my normal urologist to fix it.

I'm so tired of waiting, and driving hours each way for doctors appointments, and making phone calls, and answering questions, and scheduling my life around the likelihood of me having major surgery.

Please, whatever all-mighty power there may be, let this work out. I'm so tired. The waiting and the fighting are killing me.

Was grelle talk about wanting to become a woman and having children just a pretext to lure madam red ? (Considering that the reaper HQ definitely have advanced technology and grelle could've done a reassignment surgery without the drama )

Luring Madam Red?

Though Grelle probably does use this story to gain Madam Red's trust and interest in partnering up for the remaining murders, I have come to believe there's at least some truth to Grelle's sob story. The Character Guide has Grelle wanting a hubby, children, a cute house with a fenced yard, and a small dog -- the works! -- and it has Grelle thinking about surgery.

I shouldn't be too surprised if the reaper realm can provide just about any surgical procedure requested within it. But how many hoops would Grelle have to jump through to actually get it done? The organization seems quite the bureaucracy; there's probably a huge pile of paperwork for even the slightest request.

Grelle would need money; they have salaries and pay for goods and services -- Yana-san downgraded Ludger's watch because the original one shown on his wrist cost more than his salary could afford. Grelle is working within a budget, and the various surgeries available for reassignment might lay outside that budget.

Also, even though reapers seem to heal quickly, Grelle would probably still require some time off for recovery. Idk what benefits reapers get, along with their pay, but I imagine that time off is hard to get, unless you are suspended. Sascha says the whole point of being a reaper is punishment, and that they are "worked to the bone" until they are forgiven... whatever form that forgiveness takes. So, I expect it's not easy to get approved for time-off requests.

I'm probably diving a lot deeper than Yana-san will ever go into for this subject. However, she's let us know that the Afterlife is, for reapers at least, complex... and not always easy to navigate. So, Grelle's decision whether or not to get hormone and/or surgical treatments might not be as simple as wanting it and saying so. I imagine obstacles are in place to make such things difficult, even if the options are readily available. That would likely hold true for any major procedures or treatments a reaper might desire.

ETA: @delicate-transformation reminded me that the guide also says Grelle's sympathy for Madam Red's situation is real... regardless of how this might be used to manipulate her.

I'm also reminded of ch107.5, the "Akuma6" bonus chapter, where Grelle imagines that Vincent's #5 rosette would do what Grelle desires: provide the effects of hormone therapy and surgical procedures, though the effects would only last as long as Grelle possesses that rosette. Grelle also imagines this would finally get Will's attention... as well as give Grelle a ridiculous level of control over Sebastian. 😆

Both Deku and Todoroki are actually pansexual, and both of them are open to the idea of bringing in a girl or nonbinary person for a threesome, but have yet to find any willing partners. Both of them have also wondered about what it would be like if either one was a girl, and Todoroki had even wondered about sex reassignment surgery at one point.

Happy Pride Month!

BBL is the deadliest cosmetic procedure there is and nobody calls for it to be outlawed but some people (a minority of a minority) have bad experiences with SRS and everyone calls it mutilation and grotesque and criminal. just say you don't like trans people making decisions for themselves my guy

A personal account of detransition, reasons for it, and pain points with the community

So, on this hellsite, I am going to address a spicy topic. I'm not sure I should, but I believe I am not alone and it is a virtue to speak up.

I must preface this with saying that I wish no one harm, nor do I impose choices on others. I wish to be seen and to let others feel seen.

I'm a 26-year-old MtF dentransitioner (a desister, more accurately). (Pardon my oldschool language, but there is clarity in it which the modern lingo lacks). I have comorbid(?) ADHD with strong autistic traits, but I wouldn't call myself autistic - this is just a manifestation of ADHD and poor socialization.

My decision to detransition is not one made out of self-hatred, or "internal transphobia" as some might claim. I stay every bit as feminine (which is not very) in my expression. I desisted because I - and frankly, I'm not alone - have been systematically mislead about benefits and drawbacks of these procedures.

Let's start off with a banger I found today, which tipped my scales. Here's a study that simultaneously purports to alleviate detransitioning fears, and is so starkingly bad at it that it is still cited by far-right haters: https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article-abstract/107/9/e3937/6572526

This study finds a desistance rate close to 20% in natal males (amab) and 30% in natal females (afab), but puts a positive spin on it. "More than 70% continue with the treatment!" What it omits, and what every endocrinologist worth their salt will tell you, is that those who don't often walk away with severe reproductive dysfunction, depression, and hormonal imbalances. And that's not even taking the Bottom Surgery into account. (See below). That 30% number may seem awfully high, but it checks out among those with whom I kept company in my young adulthood. Rates up to 10% have been suggested by studies before.

This is not the topic that you can bring up in a polite society, much less inside The Community. The Community is hardened by years of fighting war trolls from 4chan, evil witches of TERF, and dissenters in general.

The Community will tell you that every dissenter is a plant. The Community will delete posts of detrans/trans regret pains on suspicion of nothing from relevant subreddiys, then proceed to defend the decision by saying the posts are no longer there, so the posters must be trolls. There's absolutely zero genuine discussion being fostered about actual neccesity and efficacy of, let's face it, invasive care - facts are weapons in the Culture War on Trans Folk, therefore inconvenient ones must be silenced.

I recently saw a post making rounds, clsiming yet again that regret rates of "bottom surgeries" (SRS, or genital reassignments) are less than 1%. Another brings up that this is literally less than for heart surgery - on top of being implausibly small for any invasive surgery - but this is then framed as the evidence for wonder and neccesity of care. Needless to say, there's nary a cited source in sight. Indeed, I've seen the 99%/1% claim many times on what looks like powerpoint slides, never with a citation.

The numbers you can find on PubMed are less fun. Immediate rates of complication is, by different accounts, from 25 to 50 per cent (I am a hypocrite and providing no sources, searching PubMed isn't hard and you get a fuller picture than if I gave youa single link). The most frequent one is tissue degeneration - essentially graft rejection - in about a third of cases. Even in the best case, neogenitalia are numb (because nerve healing, insofar it occurs at all, takes about a decade), floppy, cause urination problems and are frequently inflamed. Nevertheless, the operations are advertised (even by surgeons, who should know better) as giving you "fully functional" genitalia, and popular hearsay would have you believe that you get a cool cyberpussy which is a hundred times better. It's not. Plastic surgery is appearance-only, functions are limited and incidental, and operations have no standard procedure.

When I last brought it up in my trans chat, the first person to reply did so using a phrase "I know you masturbate to axe-wounds on Reddit, but..." It didn't get much more civil than that.

This is far from atypical, btw. Much can be saud about transfem communities recently eschewing any reflection on learned toxic masculinity, or, indeed, making themselves less of a man outside or inside - the work can be relegated to magical hormones.

I'm going to go there, too. Call me a lookist, a transphobe, a bitter fuckup. Maybe I am. But imma say out loud:

Hormones will not make you pass. Also, passing is a real, non-arbitrary thing.

The Community, right now, will not tell you that you do not look like your desired gender. It is considered rude, sometimes hateful, and a general faux pas. I absolutely get the reasons for this, and I used to stand behind and to perpetrate those reasons. However, after seeing more and more people changing their documents and getting bottom surgeries before getting to shave their neckbeards, I realize that might not be a good thing.

As an ADHD person, I am often confused about things. As a troubled person, I was often confused about myself. I thought that if I hayed myself and liked girls and feminine things, then I must become a girl to love myself. I now realize that is not true. I am lucky to make my realization before making truly irreversible decisions, and am content with minor health complications as a price of self-discovery. Still, I know some who paid a steeper price, and I wonder how many more will.

I leave you with a link to Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine, which I found today, for most succinctly putting most of the talking points I wish I could express myself. They're the reason I'm bothering to make the post at all - by myself, I'm not a very persuasive person. https://segm.org/Dutch-studies-critically-flawed
