Is it cancerous for men to change their gender by surgery?

No, not to my knowledge.\n\nI know that when female-to-male transsexuals take testosterone without having their female genitalia and internal parts (ovaries, uterus, etc.), they have a higher risk of getting cervical or other types of cancer.\n\nAs for men transitioning to women, though, I can't imagine that it is; I haven't heard of it, at least.

No.  When a man has a sex change to become a female, they have to lubricate themselves.  The internal make up is totally different than a genetic female.  Genetic females have mucus membranes that secret the fluid necessary to keep the vagina wet.  In a sex change, the scrotum is just inverted after the testicles are removed.

Increased risk of testicular cancer and adrenal disease.  Some patients develop prolactinemia which may cause gynecomastia....THE DREADED MALE TIT!\n\nDont do it bro!\n\nTrust me ....im a doc!

What do you mean??? you need to be more specific!!!\nTranssexuals are people that have an operation to change their sex.\nLife wise they try and fit in as normally as possible! there was a transexual (man to woman) at my uni, to be honest I knew he looked at bit strange but never knew properly for 2 years.\nSex wise, surgeons try to make them operate as normally as possible but M-F can sometimes get problems as their vagina may heal over and they have no lubrication and feel no sexual sensation in this area.\nhope that helps.

Absolutely not.  A man should be able to do what he wants with his own body.  More often it is the man who wants the vasectomy, not the woman.  A vasectomy is not castration so I don't see why anyone would consider it a loss of manhood or refer to the man as "whipped".    \n\nThe Bible says slavery is ok (Exodus 21:7, Lev. 25:44) and it also says anyone who works on the Sabbath should be put to death (Exodus 35:2).  I would like to see you fight for these as well. The Bible makes no mention of a vasectomy being prohibited.  Interpretations are a different story.\n\nThe US government will not bend for Christians every time a different interpretation of biblical scripture crops up.  The doctrine of separation of church and state prohibits this.

I heard it was the other way around. In some places in China men outnumber women by quite a lot. The only men who get sex changes were most likely born feeling like women. I don't think the number of men or women have anything to do with why people get sex changes.

Unfortunately female to male sex surgery to create a penis(phalloplasty) is not advanced enough to recreate most of the penile functionality. I believe the best results include a lengthening of the urethra to facilitate urination through the neo-penis, and an erectile implant that allows for an erection.\n\nThe tissue used in this type of surgery is usually harvested from the arm or leg.\n\nHowever as far as I know, the sensitivity of a normal male penis cannot be replicated with current technology.\n\nOn the other hand, Female to Male transsexuals can pass quite well. Although many of them are shorter than biological men. Facial features, facial hair, and voice deepening can all be achieved through hormone replacement therapy.\n\nTypically a female to male transsexual will undergo a mastectomy and hysterectomy to remove the breasts and uterus.

For male to female transsexuals, yes, the results can be perfectly undetectable- it all looks as real as they come.\n\nFor female to male transsexuals, not so much.  To get the best of the best, it is prohibitively expensive and still doesn't look perfectly right, although it can come close.  But it still has a long way to go.\n\nOh, and as per functioning, yes and no.  Male to female constructed vaginas can either not be self-lubricating the way biological vaginas can, or they can be made to self-lubricate, but then they often still lubricate, but without control- meaning the person may have to wear kotex pads for the rest of their lives.  After surgery, some feeling may have gone, but generally everything feels the same and orgasms are just as fun, if a little different.  They can certainly urinate the same as a woman, as it only takes a little rerouting of the urethra.  And of course, male to female transsexuals can't menstruate or have children, since they don't have the internal workings of women.\n\nFemale to male transsexuals have many different surgeries and consider themselves fully transitioned, so it's a little harder to explain.  The point is that they can definitely still have orgasms, but of course can't ejaculate (unless it is female ejaculation that could be done beforehand, and only if they vagina wasn't sewn up- but even then, it comes from a different place, not from the 'penis').  If the new penis is an extension of the clitoris, then it can certainly get erect, just like women's clitorises.  If it's made of donor flesh, it can't get erect on its own, but FtM's use the same internal pumping erectile device that impotent men use.  If the urethra is rerouted through the clitoris or artificially created penis, then they can certainly pee through the organ like a biological penis.  Of course transmen can't impregnate a woman, since they have no sperm and similar internal structures.\nNeither can the new penises lubricate themselves like biological mens' secrete 'pre-cum'.  But they work well enough.\n\nHope that helps!

There isn't anywhere in the bible that specifically says that a sex change operation is a sin. The writers of the bible probably never imagined that such a thing would be possible, or even if it was possible, that anyone would want to do it. Most would consider it a sin (most religions, not just Christianity) because it is a direct affront to God's will.

I don't think so, I know women who want to become men, (transgender), they don't transplant a penis.. so I don't think its possible..

Yes, just like giving a man a hand-job gives him penis-cancer

Not really, the surgical correction is not too bad though.\n\nAre you aware that many men have *some* breast development?  Are you also aware that 1% of breast cancer is diagnosed in men?\nI have diagnosed breast cancer in tissue removed from gynecomastia done for cosmetic reasons.  I don't mean to scare you, as this almost certainly won't happen to you, but you should have all the information.  \n\nHormone manipulation won't change it, unfortunately, and weight loss only to the degree that you can lose the fat around it.  It actually may accentuate it more.

i am sure u can do this :))) surgically, of course. but i am not sure a doctor will replace and the genitals. it is impossible, as i know. i am student in medicine, your phenomenon is known as transexualism. enjoying to wear female clothes and to change your comportament into a female one. you can try satisfy your need by transforming your exterior in one wich seems like a girl, but anyway, muscles, hair and voice will folow forever your identity.

Well we tried but some people refuse to understand why another would go thru a gender change operation, My only advice is for you to go on with your life and let Stevie deal with it the best way he can.
