I was watching Transamerica and in the begining Bree, a pre-op transexual, claims that once she’s has sex reasignment surgery “Not even a gynaecologist could tell there’s anything out of the ordinary with my body.” Is that true :dubious: ? Just how good are surgeons at fashioning female genitalia from male genitalia?
I’ve heard that too, although I dunno if it’s true. I admit to being skeptical as well; I mean, when you’re up to your elbows all day long in pussy, it seems to me you ain’t gonna be fooled easily. Having said that, I certainly could buy the notion that the average guy couldn’t tell the difference.
Bullshit
Very hard to believe. The pelvises of men and women are quite different and this would be obvious to gynecologists.
Uhm…do they also give you internal girly bits in operations, like a uterus, etc.? I think their abscence might be noticeable.
Also what the previous poster said about basic bone structure, etc.
Anecdotally, I’ve had 4 MTF post-op transexuals, and had to check the crotch of all 4 of them at one time or another due to their symptoms, including one of which needed a pelvic exam with a speculum.
There was NEVER any doubt in my mind that they weren’t MTF post-op trannies on exam. Nuh-uh. No mistaking their genitals for the standard issue genitals of XX chromosome females.
Total crock.
I’ve seen pictures on the web, I think even linked from here, and the surgeons do a damn fine job but I think that the lack of uterus would give it away to the gyno.
Jennifer Finney Boylan claimed on Larry King that her gynecologist couldn’t tell.
I think the vestigial prostate gland would show up on the ol’ ultrasound.
Do you think they would look the same to an untrained eye?
NO!
That’s the point.
I can’t link the sites I’d like to here…
One in 20 if the surgeon is really good, and lucky at that.
What does a trangender vagina look like? How would it be self lubricated? Would the involuted “pouch” tear apart if the sex got rough, and the partner was large? How could such a pouch “squeeze” like a real vagina?
Don’t make me Google the pics for you, astro.
They’re right f’ing there. I guess some look all right from the outset, but, uh… blech.
Some look normal. Some of the “chick” possessing them look really fucking hot too.
Excuse me while I retch my guts outs.
Just a thought, what would a GG* say if her OB/GYN looked up and said, “This is this the finest SRS work I have ever seen? Who did it?”
*Genetic Girl
I don’t know, but if she was under 20, she’d probably be scarred for life.
This GG would find a new OB/GYN stat.
Just wondering: perhaps the claim was only intended to mean that even a gynaecologist could not tell from outward appearance, rather than a full examination. That in itself would be an achievement.
Why did you say that?
I took your suggestion and googled “Vaginoplasty: Male to Female Sex Reassignment Surgery”. The (drawn) pictures of them dissecting a penis are pretty stomach tightening but the results don’t look all that horrifying. The main impression I get is that they are not quite as complex as “genetic girl” vaginas which have all these elaborately crafted folds, surfaces, and hoods you can play around with.
