@MaddieM4 yea, I only know of a couple guys on here that have had phallo. It’s a hard surgery to access and is truly a journey. My complications are all fixed, thankfully. The only thing I have left is for the testicular and penile implant. Penile implant so it’s semi rigid for intercourse and such.

@MaddieM4 this is a very important poll indeed. I voted with my phallo penis. Part of the reason for its lean is extra surgeries due to complications but it always leaned that way. Just more pronounced now. (Left handed & left leaning. Urine also shoots to the left).

@FinalGirl I think I’m confused by what you are trying to say in this comment. I think you are saying that based on your post I read it as basically denying others lived experience to avoid saying trans fems are socialized male. It sounds like you were saying that, without the immutable, etc. it came off as you making an argument against the existence gender socialization all together and so ignoring the fact that trans mascs very much were female socialized and will tell you so. I’m sure cis women would say the same.

If you were just meaning it as gender socialization is not immutable or permanent making it impossible to the truly be a woman as a trans woman that is not how it came off. As I said in my comment I am fully a man as a trans man but I was socialized female and that does effect me.

@FinalGirl yes patriarchy does the socializing but I think this attempts to over simplify and also erase trans masc experience. I was socialized female. I am proof that just being socialized a gender does not make you that gender or force you into an inferior or superior role. However I was very much socialized female and it impacts me still to this day. 11 years into transition.

Edit: to clarify I’m not getting into whether trans fems were male socialized. Just that it’s a common experience and thought among trans mascs that we were female socialized and you’re trying to ditch that all together but I can be socialized one way and still be a man. You can be socialized one way and still break out of it.
