Here’s a funny question for you. If your penis is transferred to the forehead,
how long should it be in order for you to see it? The answer, even if it is thousands of miles
long, you cannot see it because your balls will cover your eyes. Yes, it is funny yet there is a deeper
meaning we can attach to this joke. That
is, we have to think more than twice when we choose to modify our body. One of the most sensitive types of body modification
around is gender reassignment. In the
old days, it was termed as sex transplant but the term proved to be a
misnomer since no actual transplant was done.
During the early 70’s, a documentary
movie titled “Mondo Asia” showed a clip presenting how gender reassignment was
performed. The operation started with
the testicles being removed and the skin set aside for use later on. Then, the part where the testicle was removed
from will be the same spot where a false vagina will be molded. As you might have noted, gender reassignment
is permanent and cannot be undone after the operation. Thus, there are very important things that
you have to remember before taking the plunge.
First, you have to follow the
requirements needed in order for you to be a valid candidate for gender
reassignment. Meaning, you have to
undergo a series of tests like psychological and neurological exams to
ascertain that without a doubt you really feel that your penis is really
useless. You also need psychiatric
proofs that you have no reservations about gender reassignment. There is no turning back. Once removed, it
cannot be together again. In addition, there are also medical considerations
like HIV, diabetes, blood clotting abnormality, and obesity.
Second, it is recommended that the
candidate should avail of the grace period given in order to evaluate and
reflect about himself. It means that you
do not need to hurry. One of the major
drawbacks with gender reassignment is that your libido disappears. The testicle is an accessory to the tingling
sensation once libido is up and or you reach climax. Without it, these tingling feeling also
disappears. Thus, according to some
people who underwent gender reassignment, the urge for sex has decreased after
the healing period.
Third, it is an expensive option and
according to numerous sources, the price range is from $10,000 to $20,000. The cost does not include hormonal therapy
and psychiatric as well as psychological consultations prior to surgery. In
addition, there are also after surgery expenses such as dilating the vagina to
prevent it from closure since the false vagina is considered as an open
wound. Then, you also have to consider
insurance and health benefits factor.
You have to ascertain if gender reassignment is covered in your
insurance and health policies.
Like tattoos and body piercing, gender
reassignment should be taken seriously.
It should be not treated like a spur of the moment decision.
