lol. the key word here is transplant. as in, you know, the veteran already had a dick. on a trans person that would be an implant

You know, that's a simple observation but it's a really good point. In the case of many other organ donations I wouldn't even think about it, e.g. a heart implant, because of course the recipient had a working heart at some point.

Another article about penis transplants: https://www.medpagetoday.com/surgery/transplantation/89033

They write:

While outcomes remain unknown, the prospect of penis transplants in transgender men is "huge," California gender reassignment surgeon Marci Bowers, MD, told MedPage Today. "This is like a heart transplant to someone who has end-stage heart disease. It's that big.

No, it's really not; this comment is ridiculous to the point of absurdity.

  • Most transgender people do not get surgery and many do not event WANT surgery-- let alone "need" it in order to stay alive, a claim which is not supported by peer-reviewed research.

  • Someone with severe heart disease in need of a heart transplant has a WAY higher risk of death in the near future than a transgender person.

That won't stop them fantasising about it endlessly. Can you just imagine the eroticism of it all. "Yeah pound me with that big dead-guy's dick!"

Oh my god lol, that's so gross. I wonder how many people would want to donate their genitals to be transplanted after death, anyway...

You know actually, fetishes often cluster together. Maybe the necrophilia element would just be an added bonus to some of these people...

Everything else about their strategy is DOA, so why not?

[–]cure_osa_disorder 11 insightful - 3 fun11 insightful - 2 fun12 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

They would rather normalize necrophilia than accept homosexuality as something normal, natural, healthy, and beautiful.

I had a discussion with not one, but TWO FTMs the other day who told me that they don't want surgery, not just because it's imperfect, but because they like having, and I quote, "a bussy." Both of them genuinely thought that, despite being non-transition non-everything, female-presenting and female-bodied, they are still "real men" based on... feelings?

It's fucking bizarre, but I think that sums up the trans movement. Few care about actually changing sex.

okay, at what point can we just stop deceiving ourselves and just call it a mental illness?

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

That's unfair to people with mental illnesses, though. I'm totally screwed in the head and can't even live a normal lifestyle, but you won't see me claiming to be a woman because "I feel like it" or claiming that I have 25 anime characters living in my head.

Trans is, most likely, a symptom of narcissism, rather than it's own "mental illness." AKA the need to seek attention, even if it's bizarre and unrealistic.

This topic has always been a sesative point for me when TRA's salivate at the thought of uterus/ penis transplants and never fails to make me incredibly angry. I had a kidney transplant over a decade ago and am currently waiting for another one, maintenance of a organ transplant is a very delicate balance, you are put on immune suppression drugs so your body doesnt reject the transplanted organ, you take these drugs for the rest of your life or until the transplant gives out. You have to be VERY careful not to catch a cold or the flu amongst other things as it can increase the chance of rejection. In addition to all that the drugs increase your chance of potentially developing various cancers due to their immune suppression nature or cause your body to react in different ways, like increased weight gain or hair ;loss.

Having a transplant was wonderful, it greatly improved my quality of life but the maintenance is something you have to dedicate yourself to fully and take medication daily. On top of that it was life saving for me and not something to fulfill a deluded fantasy.

Thank you for sharing your story! In line with their 'customize your body' way of thinking, some trans people seem to think that it's just to stitch a body part on/in and you're all ready to go. I read about a woman giving birth with a donated uterus, and she only kept it just the time it took to get pregnant and carry the baby to term, then they removed it. The idea that a trans woman would be allowed to be put on the immune supressing drugs and go trough everything you describe, just in order to try and live out their 'accidently knocked up' fetish is absurd.

No worries Im happy to share. :)

Yeah, they seem to see transplants as just sewing on a organic strap- on or a baby carrying sack, they forget that it leterally has to connect to the rest of the body through countless nerves. vessels and even cells. And if you're body isnt naturally meant to support that particular organ, I can only assume chances of rejection will be higher. I don't even want to think what this would mean for a developing baby as I'd wager the transplant would need to be maintained with a cocktail of extra drugs due to the carrier being a male. Thats if the kid doesnt get crushed or deformed by the narrower male hips first. This is truly a fetish for them.

Also to add, transplants are in a massive shortage globally, here in the UK around 1000 people die a year waiting for one, you cant just pop to your local hospital to request a random organ to be plopped in your body.

If you had sex with him does that count as a threesome?

Personality transplants are even harder than this.

And, yes...I see what I did there.

But where are they going to get all the penises? Transwomen aren't cutting them off anymore, so there's inevitably going to be a dick shortage. We can't even get people to donate redundant organs like kidneys, there's no way a man will give his penis to someone else.

We'll execute cis-gendered gay men for the capital crime of transphobia, thus freeing up penises for transplantation to transgender gay men. Problem solved.

The patient and the dr are transphobes!

Lee said the goal of these types of procedures is “to restore a person’s sense of identity and manhood.”

“That injury, I felt like it banished me from a relationship,” the patient said in an interview with the NYTimes. “Like, that’s it, you’re done, you’re by yourself for the rest of your life. I struggled with even viewing myself as a man for a long time.”

LOL

I sure hope my organ donor registration has an opt out for this if it becomes a standard procedure. Man who lost his penis in an accident? Fine. Trans man? No way.

The difference between those is that there is some chance of it functioning if attached to a man. Sticking a real dick on a woman isn't going to work because she doesn't have even half the organs necessary for it to function in the first place.

Transplanting organs and tissues between siblings of different sexes is complicated. No dicks for trans guys any time soon.

[–]cure_osa_disorder 9 insightful - 1 fun9 insightful - 0 fun10 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

The fact that they would rather devote time, money, and attention to this than fix existing organs that people were born with is troubling.

Since the trans trend is ever growing, i'd imagine there is much more money to be made in the field of trans surgeries. this is all about the money in the end.

Socialized medicine will only make it worse, I'm afraid.

I read that one of the first penis transplant receiver later rejected it and removed it because it didn't feel like his

Even the immune system often rejects internal organs from transplant. The difference for the patient is that they can't really feel a kidney, heart, or other internal organ. It makes sense that someone may feel a disconnect from an external organ that isn't what they've had their whole life. I can only imagine what people with prosthetic limbs go through, not even having an organic replacement for their arm or leg.

How about the $300,000 - $400,000 cost issue?

It's one thing to treat a soldier injured in the line of duty. It's quite another to demand that when there's nothing physically wrong with you.

Regardless of how prohibitively expensive operations like this are, you can bet your ass the TRA's will start using it as a gotcha. "LOADS of trans guys have real dicks, you shouldn't assume they don't!"

It's one short hop from this to a TV series about TRAs who harvest genitals for themselves.

You're welcome.
