my vagina is broken and no one can fucking help me. / Archive
01.jpg
i’m in my 20s and 2 years post op. i’m still getting pain dilating and it’s just not getting better. i’m literally lying in bed crying while i dilate bc i can barely get the fucking purple, which is the smallest one i have, in more than like 4 fucking inches and it feels like my skin is tearing or something it’s horrible. i’m nowhere near being able to have sex and it’s making me so miserable. i really thought i’d be living my best life as a girl by now lol. i just don’t know where to turn. i’ve been given 2 opinions, 1 of them from my surgeon, and they both said everything looks fine and healthy and just to use more lube and relax. I’M USING TONNES OF FUCKING LUBE AND I AM RELAXING UNTIL IT BECOMES PAINFUL. AAAAA. i want to fucking scream. i’m honestly just so close to giving up on ever being able to have sex and have a relationship. maybe i’m just unfixable lol.

Also, he has OCD:

i can’t focus on that because my vagina problems are mainly what causes me to self harm, and has been for the past 2 years. mainly probably because i blame myself for most of it by rushing into getting surgery bc i was 19 and just needed my penis gone, rather than thinking about the impact that going to a less good surgeon would have on the rest of my life, and now i’m paying the price for that i guess. i’m starting therapy for my OCD in july but i’ve already had many therapists over the space of about 10 years and not seen any progress so i’m pretty hopeless about that too. the thing is i have ways of coping with my OCD, i don’t have ways of coping with this. i have a high sex drive and i think about sex constantly and not being able to do it is extremely frustrating for me.

yeah i’m in the uk. it’s not really as bad as people make out though idk. doesn’t seem much worse than the us to me. yeah i was definitely banking on my surgery going well and it improving my life tbh. it does feel like there is nothing left. it’s sucked the excitement out of everything in my life. i have no motivation to even get up or drink or eat.

therapy is covered on my insurance but as i said i’ve had tonnes of therapy and none of it has helped. i just don’t think i’m a person who therapy can work on at this point. maybe i self sabotage and really don’t want to help myself idk.

my vagina is ruined though. it’s completely unusable for its main function and the thing that i was most looking forward to. i had dysphoria filled unpleasurable sex for years and i can’t tell you how excited i was for that not to be a thing. well little did i know i’d be feeling even worse about it after surgery. i don’t have lots of time because i can’t spend my life feeling like this. i can’t carry on like this for much longer something needs to be done to help me :( i also don’t know how long i have left and i don’t want to die having never been able to have sex with my vagina. none of us know how long we have no matter how young we are. that’s why it worries me so much. another big worry of mine is that i’m literally watching my life pass me by. i’ve been miserable for years since i started transitioning really, but i thought by now life would be good when i probably feel the worst mentally that i ever have. it’s horrible. i don’t want to be in my 30s and not even started living yet, that would really suck.

i’ve really tried to reach out for help. my parents just get frustrated with me at this point because they don’t understand. any mental health places just give me the same old bs generic crap. it’s useless i just feel like i have no support irl which is why i end up having these huge mental breakdowns where i drive myself to self harm. i hate it and it’s no way to live my life at 22 :(
Also, he has depression and punches himself in the face regularly:
02.jpg
for context i’m trans and i had bottom surgery 2 years ago. i’m still having problems with it that basically mean i can’t have sex and no one seems to be able to help me, even my surgeon. it’s driving me fucking insane and my depression/bpd/whatever tf is making me feel like this is off the walls. i can’t stop crying and having suicidal thoughts and just wanting to hurt myself. i don’t cut but i hit myself and pull my hair and scratch myself and stuff. i just want to keep doing it so badly i fucking hate myself. i don’t know how to stop feeling like this.

And he has BPD:
03.jpg
i’m trans and i’ve had some issues with a surgery i got. i made a bunch of posts on here last night and today and had loads of people trying to give me advice. i’m currently (and have been since last night) in the middle of a huge breakdown and i can’t stop self harming and violently crying. i feel so guilty because i just dismiss everyone’s advice because i feel so beyond help. it’s almost as though i enjoy feeling like this (i really don’t, i hate it). i just can’t stand feeling like this for much longer. it’s making me suicidal. i don’t know what to do and i feel so pathetic for being so stubborn and rude towards all these people who are just trying to help me :(

But his REAL problem is that a desister posted his thread on Twitter and it went viral!

Remember: a tranny can constantly talk about being a total trainwreck, and that their fauxginas are horrible wounds...but just pointing out that they ruined their lives is much worse to them.

Results Individuals who underwent gender-affirming surgery had a 12.12-fold higher suicide attempt risk than those who did not (3.47% vs. 0.29%, RR 95% CI 9.20-15.96, p < 0.0001)
1716043187193.png
Patients who had a history of gender-affirmation surgery had a 12.12 times greater risk of suicide attempts (3.47% vs. 0.29%, RR 95% CI 9.20-15.96, p < 0.0001) vs. patients who had no history of gender-affirmation surgery. In patients with a history of gender-affirmation surgery, there was a 3.35 times greater risk of being deceased (4.9% vs. 1.5%, RR 95% CI 2.673-4.194, p < 0.0001). Patients with a history of gender-affirmation surgery had a 9.88 times higher risk of self-harm or suicide (4.5% vs. 0.5%, RR 95% CI 7.746-12.603, p < 0.0001). Lastly, patients who had a history of gender-affirmation surgery had a 7.76 times higher risk of PTSD (9.2% vs. 1.2%, RR 95% CI 6.514-9.244, p < 0.0001).

Conclusions​

The results of this study show that gender-affirmation surgery is associated with a significantly higher risk of suicide, death, suicide/self-harm, and PTSD compared to control groups in this real-world database. With suicide being one of the most common causes of death for adolescent and middle-aged individuals, it is clear that we must work to prevent these unfortunate outcomes. This further reinforces the need for comprehensive psychiatric care in the years that follow gender-affirmation surgery.

JFC. "Unfortunate outcomes" is a cold understatement. And whatever you do, don't say "Hey, since our lab rats are killing themselves, maybe we should stop slicing and dicing perfectly good bodies to address gender dysphoria? It doesn't seem to be working."

They just can't admit that all those terrible TERFS, Xians, right wingers, etc., may have been right. Moar head shrinkage post op is needed!
 
Fetch the q-tips!
Don't forget the duct tape!

"It's totes a real dick!"

"...Honey, have you seen my shaving cream and dick razor? Sorry for last night's stubble-burn. Still, we went at it almost all night!"

"...You call that "sex"? It was maybe two minutes worth of actual sex, and it felt like being fucked with a hotdog made out of Play-Doh coated in steel wool! You spent most of last night fumbling around with your dick-pump, trying to get it to work!"

"Most guys would be jealous over the fact that my dick is as big as my arm!"

"...Whatever! I'm buying rechargeables for Mr. Bojangles!"
 
Mikaela24, a former Cetrulo patient, has posted some pics post-op stage 4. Instead of going to Winograd like the other Cetrulo victims she went to Dr. Coon.
She black and quite dark skinned so we get a rare look at how the graft sites blend in.

So if y'all want my entire history I'll be happy to give it to you but I've been through two teams with my phallo journey. First team was Dr. Curtis Cetrulo and Dr. Anton Wintner. The former went to LA and the latter quit MGH’s Trans Programme. Now it's Dr. Winograd and I'm not sure who the reconstructive urologist is 🤷🏿.

Anyway, now I'm with Dr. Devin O'Brien-Coon and Dr. William Boysen. I liked both my teams (except Wintner 😑) And I've been through 4 stages so far, with my 5th coming up in December. I originally went to Cetrulo cuz I wanted UL w/o Vaginectomy and I live close by, but the UL I originally had failed, and Dr. Boysen wasn't confident a fix would stay without reinforcement from vaginal tissue. So yeah, they burnt it shut!

As you can tell I had RFF, vaginectomy, and glansplasty. I'm gonna get scrotoplasty, my UL being finished, and an ED in future surgeries, including the one in December.

I do have sensation! Tactile/pain about ½ way up on the top and fainter ⅓ of the way on the bottom. Also I've sometimes “jacked off” my dick when masturbating and have gotten hornier from it too so I guess I'm starting to get erogenous sensation too? Or maybe it's psychological? Dunno! My arm has sensation too but just pressure and some tactile. No temperature though. And my hand is swollen and has been for about a year but that's just cuz I'm bad at wearing a compression glove and elevating it. It doesn't hurt or anything and I can bend it most of the way I used to, but I'm hypermobile so my range is further than most. The sensation on my leg is the same as before.

So fun side note! My journey has not been very painful! I was terrified going into this surgery cuz so many of you guys talked about the pain being borderline unbearable but for me it wasn't anything extreme at all. My vaginectomy BARELY hurt. The graft they took from my right labia majora hurt more lol! I just thought I was super lucky, but I recently found out I have neuropathy in the lower half of my body which may be affecting the nerves in my genital region. Hence the lack of pain. So if you're chronically ill in a similar way, expect similar I guess?

Also, one more thing! If any of you are worried about your arm scar outing you, don't be! It'll only "out you" to other trans folk (if they even know what phallo is). Any cis ppl that ask I just tell them I got severely burnt at a past cooking job (I was a cook for 8 years) and they drop it. I don't wear my sleeve anymore and people barely ask if at all. It's actually doctors that ask the most and I tell them the truth cuz why not?

Anyway! That's all I got! AMA

I can't fucking edit the post for some reason but I forgot to list what my stages were:

  • Stage 1: (December 2022) Phallus creation
  • Stage 2: (January 2023) UL (which failed) and Skin Graft (from thigh to arm)
  • Stage 3: (May 2023) Glansplasty and some BS UL that didn't actually fix the failed UL. Oh and nerve hookup!!!
  • Stage 4: (April 2024) Vaginectomy and UL fix

She looks like a burn victim.
Any cis ppl that ask I just tell them I got severely burnt at a past cooking job (I was a cook for 8 years) and they drop it.
Oh I guess that's an advantage then.
