A young woman in India who lost both of her hands in a bus accident received limbs from a darker-skinned male donor. Years later, the skin of her transplanted hands has lightened.
Her transplanted hands came from a 21-year-old man who died after a bicycle crash. Over the next year and a half, physical therapy improved Siddanagowder's motor control of her arms and hands, which gradually became leaner than they were at the time of the transplant. But there was another unexpected change: The skin on her new limbs, which had been darker because the donor had a darker complexion, became lighter in color, so that it more closely matched Siddanagowder's skin tone, according to The Indian Express.

Man- You really gotta hand it to her
Neat.
Dr. Nick agrees!
Thanks
Now everyone will want hands transplant one reason or another.
If you don’t vote for me, you ain’t black enough!
So, it’s been the hand all along
And it tries to return to factory settings.
It would be strange if this didn't happen.
Like a creature out of Greek mythology....
Can’t fool mother nature.
Mother nature still has female hormones flowing through a woman’s body, and they dictate what will happen.
Same with male hormones where transsexuals can’t fool their bodies. Men are men, no matter how much you try to change your physical structure.
Right. Check out the truths that Lt Gov. Robinson, running for Governor of North Carolina, has spoken on this subject.
It drives the Democrat media wild.
One trait of typical female hands is that the ratio of the length of her fingers to the main body of the hand is higher than the typical man’s finger/hand length ratio.
If her new hands develop the typical female hand ratio, that would be remarkable.
Think it would take awhile getting use to this women man handling me.🥸
It’s a natural consequence of makin’ all them sammiches.
If she ever gets married, her fiance will need to shop for a ring in the Men’s Section. He may get a questioning look from the store clerks, but a sale is a sale.
“How large is her ring finger? That big? Oh, I get it.”
I want to know what level of function her new hands have and if there is any chance her body can eventually reject them.
First thing I thought of LOL
