    There's also a lot of misinformation about the extent to which bottom surgery emulates "real" genitals. A trans man most certainly cannot get a real erection (i.e. a natural reaction to physical/visual stimuli). As I understand, many phallo surgeries do not include any way to have the "penis" stand erect. If it does, one option is either a flexible metal rod that the trans man can "stand up." And the other is a pump that lives in the "scrotum" that the trans man squeezes.

    Also, of course, no way to ejaculate. And, let's be frank, a pleasant part of sex for many people is making their partner orgasm.

    And on the other side of the coin, a trans woman won't have a self-lubricating "vagina" or a self-cleaning "vagina" (meaning there will be a bunch of bacteria in there if they don't manually clean it out regularly, especially after sex). And an inside-out scar-tissue penis won't expand, contract, swell, squeeze or lubricate like a vagina does. It's like a weirdly deep bellybutton that has no function other than to just be concave.

    And not to mention that the lack of nerves in the fake version means that a fake penis owner can't derive pleasure from their partner stimulating it, meaning that it is little more than a really expensive dildo. That sounds like something they'd probably call "cisnormativity" or some BS like that because they're trying to copy cis sex, but only making an empty mockery of it.

    Yeah, it's basically for show and also to pee out of. I mean, if it makes you happy, good for you. But let's be truthful that apart from the appearance* and for peeing, it has very little of the same functionality as a real penis.
