Would It Be Worth A Finger To You

:blink: I accidently run across stuff sometimes that messes my mind up lol.

Initially I thought I was " misreading"/this was not an actual technique in use, but alas I was wrong.

Just when you thought you knew every approach to the phalloplasty out there........

added note: the location of this clinic is in the country of Georgia; that is just south of Russia, north of Turkey, Armenia, and Azerbaijan.

OMG!

I couldn't believe it either!

I had to go see - I am shocked and considering what we MTFs are planning on doing that takes a bit of doing - but this does it!

I am with you Evan - how far are we willing to go to achieve our goals?

At least for MTFs the necessary tissue and nerves are supplied by the very parts we do not want - but I tend to want my fingers and their nerves on my hands!

I hope that someone is working on a better technique that does not involve this!

I do feel sorry for you guys - the surgeries have so far to go but there is always hope so be positive and be proud - you are all very special people.

Love ya,

Sally

I would totally give up a finger to get a realistic penis but those ones look a bit... I dunno. But I have no qualms about losing a finger. I could trap one in a door tomorrow, after all!

So I would end up with eleven fingers?...

NEVERMIND!

No darlin, if you went to the end of that page, you would have nine fingers and a whatsit.

And the thing is, it is a valid question. ALL peeps who transition sacrifice stuff. Surgically though, FtMs have since the inception of the radial forearm phalloplasty been asked "what would you be willing to give up" physically to get what you need. For those of you who've never seen someone in person who's had the forearm it actually almost makes you wonder if the finger is the lessor price -at least visually

BUT... MTF are... well... inverted. We have an advantage with surgery, but FTM's do so well on "T" and we do just marginal on "E." Actually some of the earlier vagiplasticy used a part of the large intestine. Its all still very primative, both sides. I suspect stem cell research will lead to techniques that will revolutionize SRS, both kinds - maybe some of our younger members will be around.

Take your own cells, jiggle a few chromosomes - grow out the parts - transplant your true opposite sexual organs. Won't that be nice? Anyone ever read John Varley?

I REALLY hope they can do this soon! My life is depending on it! :unsure:

Who's John Varley? :goes to wikipedia: the sci-fi author? did he write something about organ transplants?

As for the pictures... wow. No thanks. I don't want to say I wouldn't give up a finger for it, b/c I probably would, IF I could trade a finger for a complete male system. Not for that type of procedure though. I'd rather keep my finger.

However, if in the future they can transplant a full set of sex organs, I would say I'd give my left nut to have the rest of it. :P

No way would I ever.

I'm a cellist, first and foremost, and male second. I would never ever EVER give up my music just for a penis.

My mouth fell open and I still can't quite close it....

Wow!

Yeah, just when you think you know all the procedure methods....

I would be open to this. What Miles said made me think....I would be upset to not be able to play anymore, but other than that I don't really have an attachment to my fingers.

A transperson science fiction writer.

("Options" and "Blue Champagne")

Also his trilogies usually have tranpeople in them.

I was refering to "OPTIONS" where it is possible to change your sex without a problem, from an undisclosed process that seems akin to stem cell research. A wife decides to become a man - her husband is appalled, but he refuses to become a woman, so she diappointed, changes back. Also, there are characters that spend part of their life as male, part as female. Look for him in Amazon, might be out of print. His new books, Mammoth and the juvinile oriented Red Thunder have no trans people.

I have an extensive collection of scifi and know most of the ones with TS elements. These writers seen to be gender dysphoric and wrote out their fantasies in literature, and the most well known is Robert Heinlein - who wrote a complete sexual reassignment themed book - I Will Fear No Evil. Jack L. Chaulker's books, almost every one of his books, was trans oriented - and also had bizarre transformations - the Well World series especially. He wrote two totally trans themed books. Another is Piers Anthony - but these are little pieces in some of his XANTH series. He may just be exploring new possibilites - but it's interesting how they read.

Many more exist!

This reminds me of The Sims haha. I have a friend (female) who plays the sims so much she should make a career out of it. Once we were talking about it and I asked her to make a male version of me on the sims. I think she made a male version, as well as a female version which she then converted to male. In the sims games apparently you can just change the sex of the character by clicking on the male or female symbol while you're creating the character. I said to her "If only it were that simple in real life..." :shrugs:

I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't be able to rise to the occasion on my own. That's what really makes and breaks it for me.

Saw a movie recently called "The Box"

A couple were given a box with a button on it...if they push the button, someone in the world dies..someone that you don't know and if you push it you get $1M......

That's what this reminds me of....

Here, you push the button you get the penis....the finger dies....

Weird.....

But, I guess that we all sacrifice one thing for another in our transitions....

Just the nature of the beast....

So you couldn't be a natal male and ever be impotent? (playing the devils advocate) You would tell them to cut it off and send it back if viagra had to be in your future? Skip the reattachment if Larenna Bobbit were your exwife? Think about it.

This is definitely something that I am NOT willing to do. I'd rather wait out on stem cell research as well as the study on gene therapy.

Me too! Let's hope they make some progress with that.

it might be cool for those born with extra fingers who are wanting surgery...something for their extra finger to be used for?

Guest hayden_jude

The hand actually doesn't look as freaky as I thought it would....But the rest of the operation....Nope. Not for me.

I think I would be willing to give up a finger, but not for this - not to be used in this way. This is just weird. :blink:

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
