So I had a consult with Dr. Rajveer Purovit at Mount Sinai in NYC, and while I am not remotely trying to get that, it just happened to come up in conversation that yes, he does in fact have patients who have done exactly that. His preferred way of doing things is to do metoidioplasty first, then construct a phallus from abdominal tissue and place it on the groin above the meta phallus, and then have a third stage of surgery where they are combined and urethral lengthening happens. And the PA was just straight up like "yeah, some people do just stop after phase 2 because they like having the appearance and visual of the larger phallo phallus, but the higher sexual stimulation and better ability to pee with the meta phallus."

So. Yeah it turns out. That is not just a tumblr hypothetical. There are trans people walking around right now in the real world with two penises, and this is a normal surgical outcome from a surgeon who is renowned enough to have his own Wikipedia page.
