The do say that to gay men, that a phalloplasty is indiscernible from a real penis. I just think it doesn't get much traction because anyone who has seen phalloplasty results know that the "penis" is an artistic representation made of flesh play-doh by someone who has never seen a penis in real life.

not to mention studies have been done and uh, the results aint good. here's a study i found from the Urology Journal :

"A total of 32 patients were identified: 22 underwent free radial forearm flap, 5 anterolateral (AN-TERO-LATERAL: : situated or occurring in front and to the side) thigh, 4 anterolateral thigh/free radial forearm flap, and 1 fibular flap phalloplasty. The median age at prosthesis implantation was 36 (range 21-59) years. At first implantation, 16 inflatable and 16 malleable prosthesis were placed. Of these, 5 were removed/replaced because of infection, 2 because of leakage, 2 because of extrusion, 2 because of dislocation, 2 because of dysfunction, and 1 because of pain. The postoperative course was completely uneventful in 10 patients. Of all implanted prostheses, including revision procedures were surgically replaced or removed. Their conclusion: Prosthesis explanation, replacement, or revision surgery occurs frequently after penile prosthesis implantation. Patients need to be well-informed preoperatively on these complication rates."
