Doctors seeking approval to transplant dead man’s penis onto trans-identified woman’s groin
Christian Post ^ | 10/14/2020 | Brandon Showalter

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.

If approved, they could “do it pretty often”, he said.

This means, if approved, ALL THE REST OF US would be paying for this surgery ALL THE TIME for these gender-confused types.

Needs to be some joke about a “working stiff” somewhere in this thread.

Forget ‘that part’, I think what we’re dealing with is a bunch of Abby Normal brains.

Looks like there is a lot of research that has been going. Particularly limb replacement/reattachment.

I’m going to have to invest in some type of groin armor... Mine may not be spectacular, but I’m rather attached to it and I’d hate to have it stolen...

Years ago, I lives near a large university medical school. I heard this story going around back in the 70s, when women were still fighting to be taken seriously in the professions. At the time, the Pill was a new thing, and women were not nearly as sexualized as today’s sad specimens. Here’s the story I was told:
A female medical student was a frequent target of bias and crude remarks by males, both faculty and students. When the class was assigned to dissect cadavers, the male students all received male cadavers (because most cadavers were supplied by prisons); and the lone female student was the only one given a female cadaver.

One night after the female med student had left, a couple of males sneaked back into the lab, cut off a penis from a male cadaver, and partially inserted it "between the legs" of the female cadaver.

In the morning, the much-harassed female arrived for class, to find her male classmates snickering among themselves and watching her intently as she pulled back the sheet from her cadaver.

They expected her to blush, shriek, or become visibly grossed out or offended. Instead, she calmly looked up and said, “Looks like one of you guys left in a hurry last night."

Unfortunately, the penis rejected her.
