What was the transgendered man going to show us?

Perhaps he liked showing off the work of the surgeon? I mean, you do get a small thing, right?

Or, if I were inebriated, I could see finding showing you nothing to be hilarious. Ha ha, I don’t have a dick!

Check with the street vendors - one of them might have it.

?? If it were a pre-op transgendered guy, he could have been carrying around his soon-to-be-attached penis. Or did you mean a post-op transgendered woman, who could have had her recently-detached penis in her purse as a keepsake?

Depends on how you’re using your terms. I assumed a male who had the operation towards female, and therefore could carry his leftovers in his purse, but who still could appear male.

If she’s physically transitioning to appear more female, she’s a she.

True, but questioning a random encounter on their current wangidudinal status is a far worse social breach than accidentally using the wrong pronoun.

I was going to point out that the existence of said purse probably answered the question, but a transman could carry an European man-purse without threatening his masculinity. Well, without much loss, anyway. And some male transvestites don’t like being called ‘she’ even when dressed up.

As for what was in it, probably that glowing thing from Pulp Fiction.


The polite course is to use the pronoun that fits the (perceived) target state, and if they correct you, go with whatever they ask to be called, but you probably knew that already.

Transmen can get a penis surgically installed. With an inflatable appendage and everything.

More commonly, though, the clitoris will drastically enlarge with male hormone therapy and they’ll have it strategically surgically severed to look like a small penis.

A little ignorance fighting: The operation for either direction utilizes the existing genital tissue. Nothing is added or subtracted.

For male to female, the penis is inverted to form a psuedo-vagina.

As mentioned before, female to male have a couple options, one of which is increasing the size of the clitoris by serial saline implants and androgenic hormone tx.
