    Stupid question: are we talking about the penis of a transman? Is it actually generally bigger than the average cisman’s? I just assumed the surgery could not achieve that, but I don’t actually know anything about the surgery.

      Phalloplasty followed by medical tattooing can result in some spectacularly realistic (and decently sized) penii.

      The sugery is brutal though, don’t go looking this up if you’re not ready to see extreme gore.

      In summary though, flesh is taken from the forearm or the back of the thigh and grafted over (usually) a flexible rod (the other option is a flaccid inflatable, with the pump concealed in a bollock) on the mons pubis, to create the penis. Optionally plumbing can slso be linked up, so one can stand to piss, and balls can be inserted. Along with all that, surgically closing the vulva/vaginal canal is also an option too.

      I spent way too much time looking into this at one point. Things may have changed a bit since then when it come to phallo, but I doubt much.

      You’re literally doing the thing in the meme right now. I can’t believe you’re getting replies.

        I hope I haven’t offended anyone. I’m coming from a place of wanting to learn. I support trans rights.
