A trans woman intentionally burnt her own penis in a desperate attempt to get it removed.
The 57-year-old, from Australia, was born a man but felt that she had been living in the wrong body.
The unidentified woman only sought medical help seven days after suffering a self-inflicted chemical burn injury. Doctors who shared her tale in a medical journal did not reveal how it happened.
Gender-affirming surgery, which can involve removing the penis, is currently not covered by Medicare, Australia's national public health insurance.
Instead, patients must seek costly private ops.
While some local health authorities do provide clinics that link patients with health providers, they often have long waiting lists.
Trans women can have complicated ops to remove their genitals and replace them with an artificial vagina.
For trans men, such procedures can include the surgical removal of the breasts and the construction of a penis and scrotum.
Writing in Urology Case Reports, medics said the patient was transferred to Royal North Shore Hospital in St Leonards in Sydney, for a urology and burns review.
Medics found that she had necrosis — dead body tissue — at the tip of the penis and burns, swelling and redness along the penile shaft.

Definite mental case.
HER?????
I did a DuckDuckGo search-I should’ve listened to LuckL…..
Now that he has permanently disfigured his body, the next steps will be depression then suicide.
Wouldn't it have been quicker and less painful to get a knife, or razor blade, or even a pair of scissors?
Did he do it while flaccid or erect? Did he use a propane torch, a candle, a match? So many questions...
I just cannot wrap my head around what kind of insanity it takes to burn your dick off.
HE is a dude with his pecker chopped off. The author of this article is either a pervert or an accomplice of perverts.
Some guys like to drink beer, some like to fish, some like to drive...
And then there’s some that like to destroy their own cocks for fun
Well, at least the guy has not been diagnosed as a sick puppy, or even close to mentally ill. Will Joe Biden invite him to the White House?
Trans woman.
So a cross dressing dude
So let’s see, the solution to the delusion this person had was to burn off his penis only. Why not the scrotum? Obvously a mentally deranged fellow ( delusional).
Not even a logical solution to his delusion. More evidence that trans folk are in serious need of mental health care first.
Radical self mutilation means you are Coo Coo for Cocoa Puffs.
I bet that trans woman is is coyote ugly.
LOL !!!
HE is mentally ill
!!! It’s just a stump. !!!
