#vaginectomy

It honestly doesn't make sense. How do you know what genitals are surgically altered? And even if you can tell from scars (ie phalloplasty scars on the arm), what makes them any different from natal genitalia?

Like, let's really get into this here.

Is it a natal clitorophallus, or is it a metoidioplasty/phalloplasty without vaginectomy, a penile preserving vaginopasty, a person with bottom growth + a vaginectomy, etc?

Is it diphallia, or is it a phalloplasty + metoidioplasty creating two phalluses, or a person with penile splitting creating diphallia?

Is it someone on the agenital spectrum, or is it a person with nullification?

Is it a person with a natal penis + erectile dysfunction requiring a penile implant for erection, or is it a person with a phalloplasty?

I see way too much demonization of gender-gender-affirming surgery, especially bottom surgery. I refuse to let that shit be normal, so I made this little sticker with a few of the bottom surgery options available to trans folks. Celebrate bottom surgery with this design!

This sticker is made of matte vinyl and will look perfect on laptops, water bottles, and more! What places can you think of to put this sticker? (This sticker has not been tested in the dishwasher)

Btw, by purchasing from me you're helping me raise money for my own top surgery and metoidioplasty! I appreciate every one of my customers for helping me work towards those goals :)

I want to ask a sort of invasive question & if youre uncomfoterable answering plz feel free to ignore me!! I was wondering how much sensation you get on the skin and if its uh pleasurable without "getting hard."

Also is it weird i want to keep my vaginal opening and also have a penis? But im very he/him/masc whatever. Idk i feel self conscious about this 😭 and also worry like, no surgeon would agree to that.

Anyway feel free to ignore my questions if you dont feel comfy answering them ty for the post ily brooo 💛👋

Hello there! Thank you so much! I’m so happy to hear that my post was helpful :)

Regarding sensation, I’ve written a few asks addressing this and would suggest that this one below may answer your question:

Retaining your vaginal opening (sometimes you may see references to this as “front hole” if you are searching for further info!) is not an uncommon type of phallo— it would be a phalloplasty with no vaginectomy. I know of a number of folks who’ve opted for this approach and have certainly seen folks talk about this on tumblr so you are not alone there!

In the context of gender-affirming surgery, Vaginectomy is a Colpectomy plus a Colpocleisis.

Colpectomy involves removal of the vaginal lining, or epithelium;

Colpocleisis is the fusion of the vaginal walls, which creates support for pelvic organs.

The vagina itself isn’t removed though that is done in cancer surgery. In that context, a partial Vaginectomy removes part of the vagina (upper or lower vagina) while a total Vaginecomy removes all of the vagina.

There are several reasons why trans men and non-binary individuals opt to have a Vaginectomy, including:

The desire to have the vagina removed and have a male perineum.

To eliminate the secretions produced by vaginal mucosa.

To eliminate pain from a gynecological condition.

To eliminate the need for speculum exams or Pap tests.

For many years, Vaginectomy endured a reputation for being a very risky procedure—so risky, that many surgeons refused to perform it and even discouraged trans men from seeking it out, citing major intraoperative bleeding and bladder perforation as high risks.

Recent reports from surgeons experienced with the procedure indicate that with modern techniques Vaginectomy may not be as risky as previously thought, and can reduce complications associated with urethral extension. By eliminating vaginal secretions and improving blood flow to the urethra by fusing the vaginal walls, the surgical sites—especially the critical urethral junction—heal better.

A 2018 journal study confirms that Vaginectomy decreases the rate of urethral fistulas.

"A urethral fistula developed in 111 of the 232 patients (48%)  without Vaginectomy and in 13 of the 62 (21%) who underwent primary  Vaginectomy. Secondary Vaginectomy resulted in 100% fistula closure  when performed in 17 patients with recurrent urethral fistula."

Is it possible if not metoidioplasty, at least a vaginectomy and testicular implants?
