In an experimental operation, a transgender guy gets your penis and testicles with the proviso that the testicles be vasectomized so that he can’t father a kid (who would have your DNA). Feelings? If he was a cis guy would you feel the same?
I’m dead. I’m beyond caring about anything.
Already snipped. Already an organ donor. After I’m done using this meat mechanism I hope as many people s possible can benefit from any useful part.
The rest can be turned into sausage for all I care.
What he said.
I’m not sure why I ought to object to this.
Yeah, from my point of view, whatever. I get that folks might feel there’s a “squick factor” involved in those particular parts, but that’s for the recipient to deal with.
Seriously, WTF?
a) There are people who would be bothered by this?
b) Since men are not born with all their sperm, in the way that women are born with all their eggs, do we even know whose DNA a transplanted testicle would produce?
Yep. I do not care, Better use than worm food or ashes.
“Take what you like, lock up when you leave”.
Remember that imho bad RAH story about a dude that got a woman’s heart?
Can I request that? I think my kids having half-siblings out there no ones aware of would be weird. Real weird.
I’m an organ donor and medicine can use every bit of me after I die, I don’t care. Funny thought though that someone would’ve fun with my junk after I’m dead.
You’d really have to admire a person whose blatant homophobia extended beyond their natural life, though, huh ?
/s
Just so the recipient has a good, strong back to carry the load.
Good for him. Glad I could help.
Under the assumption that a medical board overseeing the operation had determined that the cost benefit analysis to the patient strongly favored the procedure sure why not?
I guess we’re still waiting for an opinion to the contrary. Also what is the debate? Does the OP forsee societal ramifications that the rest of us are missing? Otherwise this seems to be more of a very one sided IMHO thread.
Anyone who would consider my junk to be an upgrade is welcome to it.
This is … an odd hypothetical … and, like everyone else pretty much has said, why or how could I possibly give a damn? Stick my dead dick on somebody’s head if that’s what science wants.
We have enough dickheads walking around without building more.
The only thing I could see anyone objecting to is the part about a vasectomy, based on the idea the penis should go to someone who would use it to procreate. They’d argue it was wasted otherwise.
But I don’t see that as a problem since artificial insemination exists. And it would obviously be good if there was some way for trans men to get a penis, or for cos men with a malfunctioning one to get a replacement. This seems like it would be a great thing.
Glad to see that everyone here is open minded, but elsewhere is another matter. I think plenty of people would unfortunately be freaked out by the notion of their genitals being used in a transplant, particularly onto a transgender man. I envision a fair number of guys thinking, “I didn’t sign up for that”.
This isn’t just hypothetical. They’ve already transplanted penises onto cisgender men. One got a scrotum with artificial testicles, too. Now, it’s true that anatomical differences between males and females make a transplant onto a transgender guy more complicated than a simple cut and paste operation, but consider: cisgender guys who got penises generally underwent substantial physical trauma as a result of losing their junk. Transmen wouldn’t have that. There would be less mangling for the surgeons to deal with.
My guess? In 10-20 years a transmen will get the Full Monty.
On a related note, they’ve transplanted uteruses into cisgender women as well. There’s a big advantage to that compared to a transman getting male genitals. The women get the uterus, use donated eggs to get pregnant, and deliver via C-section at which time the uterus is removed. Since it’s removed, lifetime immunosuppressants are not needed. This could be done for transwomen, too.
Medically I can’t imagine fertility happening. Surely there’d by autoantibodies produced against the foreign spermatozoa.
Is there a theriogenologist in the house?
