Doctors seeking approval to transplant dead man’s penis onto trans-identified woman’s groin

Doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston are seeking approval to perform a first-of-its-kind surgery to attach the penis of a dead man onto a woman who identifies as transgender.

The operation, which hasn't yet been approved, would involve attaching an organ donor's penis to the groin of a biological female. The surgeons are also waiting for a volunteer to be the first test patient.

Federal donor regulations prohibit vascularized composite allografts — tissue harvesting in organ donation of specific body parts such as limbs and genitalia — unless the donor wishes to donate and permission has also been given from the donor's next of kin upon death.

“This would be a quantum leap if you were able to transplant a real penile structure,” said Dr. Curtis Cetrulo, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital, to MedPage Today.

“It’s certainly pushing the boundaries.”

Cetrulo added: “We’re ready to do it, and we could do it pretty soon if we get it approved. I’m hopeful we can do it. It would be super helpful to a lot of [trans-identifying] patients.”

Some young women who seek to physically transition have permanently altered their bodies by getting elective double mastectomies, which are often called "top surgeries" among transgender activists and their allies.

An additional procedure, which is performed less often on transgender-identifying females and is euphemistically referred to as "bottom surgeries" attempts to create makeshift genitalia resembling a biological male. During phalloplasty operations, tissue is surgically removed from the patient's forearm and thigh to construct a pseudo-phallus. These complex operations often involve several follow-up procedures.

Here's Mayo Clinic's reassurance that organ donation is always on the up-and-up:
Myth: Organ donation is against my religion. Fact: Organ donation is consistent with the beliefs of most major religions. These religions include Roman Catholicism, Islam, most branches of Judaism and most Protestant faiths. If you're unsure of or uncomfortable with your faith's position on organ donation, ask a member of your clergy.
LIARS!

And these are the same people with the signs on their yards:

“Science is Real”

Except of course, for the XX being Female and the XY being Male. That isn’t “science” to them. It isn’t “real”.

And there I was thinking that the “organ donor” mark on my driver’s license was referring to kidneys and liver...

Fake news. This surgery is not medically possible. You can’t just sew a dick someplace where there’s never been one before without incurring a host of nasty, complications. And it would almost certainly necrotize and fall off anyways.
