I just filmed a video describing the difference between the metoidioplasty and phalloplasty procedures for transgender men. I have a whole presentation that goes over my own experience with my metoidioplasty procedure which I share at different transgender conferences….I’ll let people know what that next conference/appearance will be when I know! As I said in the video, RESPECT and SENSITIVITY toward this topic is absolutely necessary.
When people make comments like “Oh, that doesn’t look good.” or “That one is better than others.” It makes people who have had these surgeries feel shame, embarrassment and insecurity.
Whenever you learn or research this topic, please be mindful of your comments.

Thank you Ryan for a evening we’ll never forget. If any of you have a chance to hear him talk- TAKE IT, you won’t be sorry. I promise.

An episode on the Oxygen channel’s ‘I’m Having Their Baby’ there is a story of a transman and his partner adopting a baby. I haven’t been able to find the whole episode, but according to this quick look, the reviews have been good. If others know where to find the full episode, feel free to share.
