People who claim that the results of phalloplasty are even remotely comparable to a penis are a) deluding themselves, b) arguing in bad faith and/or c) have never seen and touched an actual penis in their life. And no, I am not talking about some first-stage phalloplasty photos on the internet, I am talking about 'best results'. It's glaringly obvious they are not the real thing. The skin's different, the texture is different, the structure is different. There's veins on a real one, there's a clear separation between glans and shaft. The real one is nothing like the prosthetic a surgeon produces. That's also why the distinction between pre- and post-op trans people is irrelevant.
