How Can a Man Have a Vagina? Is It Possible?

With the miracles of modem medical science, virtually anything is possible. Skilful albeit bizarre surgery, audacious hormone therapy, and above all a willingness on the part of the patient to sacrifice anything makes the impossible a reality.

It goes something like this. First the patient has to find a doctor willing to do the job. Certain European surgeons are known to be willing. Not surprisingly, at least one of them is a well-known homosexual himself. The operation is fairly simple:

Under general anaesthetic, the penis is amputated at the base. The testicles are also removed, completely. Then it gets interesting. By skillful plastic surgery an [artificial?] vagina is constructed below the root of the penis. This part of the operation is well known, since artificial vaginas are routinely constructed in young women born with absent or abnormal vaginal canals.

Simultaneously, plastic surgery is being performed on the breasts. The usual method is injection of silicone foam, a process also used on under-endowed females. Goodbye penis and testicles, hello vagina and breasts, and a man becomes a woman. Almost, but not quite. Actually he is simply a man who has lost his external genitalia. He has gained a pound of chemical foam plastered onto his chest and an open wound where most of his reproductive system used to be. He still has plenty of problems.

First, he must dilate his new vagina daily. Otherwise, it closes up. Nature resents meddling and tries to correct man’s mistakes. For the first couple of months, the new “woman” does the dilating himself. After that, he looks for someone else to do it.

There is also the matter of hormones. The adrenal gland stubbornly continues to produce testosterone. It hasn’t got the news. To counteract this, the “lady” must take female sex hormones to keep down her beard, and keep up appearances. She also must rub hormone cream into her breasts to keep them looking feminine.

Are these the men who are changed into women?

These are the men who claim to have been changed into women.

They are actually castrated and mutilated female impersonators.

N.S.: Thanks, Reg. This book was the #1 bestseller in America for two straight years (presumably 1970-1971), like Gone with the Wind.

I found my mom’s copy in her dresser and read a bit, but definitely missed this passage.

Fifty-one years ago, we knew more than we now know.
