9. Sex Reassignment Surgery
A transgender woman who is also attracted to men might want to take her male-to-female transition to the final phase — a vaginoplasty or sex reassignment surgery. In his interview, Bruce explained that even though he identifies with feminine gender norms, he is still attracted to women. However, converting a penis into a vagina is an option. The process removes the testicles completely and turns the shaft of the penis inside out. The surgeon must then create a new place to urinate and a neo-clitoris. "The hardest part with this procedure is that your body tends to create scar tissue after surgery to close the spaces," Dr. Spiegel explained. "So people need a series of dilators, which are almost like plastic rods that they need to put into the vagina to keep that area open."
A male-to-female transition can be an extensive and expensive process. However, finally having your gender identity match the outer appearance is something that is priceless. "After the transgender women who come to see me go off into world, you have no idea [they were ever men]," Dr. Spiegel said. "Some people want to disappear and be the girl next door and go about their business. They want to be ignored like the rest of us."
