The “surgeries” are rarely successful to the degree that the person expects long-term. In the case of new genital formation, the body FOREVER recognizes the new tissue arrangement as a wound to be healed. For fake “viginas” the body naturally tries to heal it shut, so the guy has to regularly force the cavity open with phallic prostheses held in place for hours a day.
Such stretching is reported to be very painful, and a lot of such mutilated guys ultimately give up on the several-times-daily ritual and let the fake orifice heal over, opting for a “gender neutral” identity instead.

This is a link to a great TV show/documentary about a girl that transitioned to a boy (very quickly) and now is a girl again. She first appears at 3:35. Much of the show is in Swedish subtitles, but she speaks in English.
At 5:40 she talks very openly about sounding weird and looking weird. “They hear my voice and think I’m a male but I’m in the girl’s bathroom.” “WHAT ARE YOU!?”
She seems pretty well-adjusted considering everything. And obviously very intelligent. (Many bright kids that don’t fit in with the crowd turn to transgenderism to “fit in”.)
Whoa! I’ve never heard that, although I can understand why they do it.
When Jazz Jennings had her faux-vagina installed, he was asking about his “vagina,” and his surgeon called it a wound.
