Most people associate being transexuals with being a drag queen (those gay folk you see on television with very loud and sometimes hideous make up). Well sorry to burst your bubble that is not true. I have met quite a few transexuals and trans gendered people here in the UK and some are quite nice whilst a few are outirightly nasty to the core. One thing you should know is there is a slight difference between a transexual and transgender. While a transexual is someone who has changed from one sex to another and have also had surgery to change thier sex organ, a transgender still has his/her sex organ but identifies as another gender, in appearance. In this write up I am however only going to discuss in summary what is involved in changing one's private part from one gender to another...
It is easier for a male to change into a female then for a female to become a male. For males to change, thier scrotum is usually removed and folded such that it forms the lips for the sides of the vagina, whilst the penis is cut and folded in so that its sensitve parts becomes the clitoris. A hole is made in between the mans leg close to the anus and part of the penis which have been cut is folded into this hole so the soon to become female can still get some sensation when she's having sex. This is tucked and sewn in such a way it imitates a vagina. Electrolysis is used to kill the hair cells around the vagina so that it now loooks like a natural one The thing is, despite a transexual female having a vagina, the deepest it can be is about 6inches and the lady constantly has to insert dialators insside it to prevent her vagina from closing up, because the body identifies it as foreign. If the Male to female transexual fails to use dialators, the length of her vagina slowly reduces as it closes up. In addition, the new female cannot mensurate or become pregnant, because they lack the required womb and ovaries for this. Another fact worth noting, is that in some cases the new female may loose or have little sensation of sex, in the new vagina. However, her new vagina if well constructed by a professional surgeon can not be differentiated from that of a naturally born woman. Breast implants are also added to complete the change.
On the other hand female to male gender reassaignment is more expensive and the surgery much more risky. the clitoris of the woman is used to create the penis, breasts are reduced to form a chest, the womb and ovaries are removed, the vagina sealed and fake balls placed just below the new penis to mimic the testis. The outer lips off the vulva is used to form the scrotum. In some cases the size of the penis might be incresed using an implanted inflatable that becomes erect when gorged with blood.\par
All in all, both parties need to take hormones to stimulate the body to start having feminine or masculine features as the individual desires. Hope ypu learnt something new today?
