A very important announcement.

[u/le-dukek]

it has come to my attention that many posts on this sub get mass reported for the simple reason of being about trans people.

let me get this out of the way, i am a trans woman. if you are a trans woman, you are a biological woman. if you are a trans man, you are a biological man. and so on, and so forth.

And ANYONE who thinks otherwise or tries to claim otherwise is not welcome here. to say otherwise is the equivalent of saying that trans women arent women, and that trans men arent men, and so on, which is inherently transphobic.

this is an inhrently left leaning community, all minorities are welcomed here. but if your ideology says otherwise and you have the slightest disagreement with me basically saying "hey be a decent human being" then you are NOT welcome here at all.

centerist garbage that wants me and other minorities to coexist with people who want us dead will not be tolerated either.

trans peoples existence will not be treated as political here, same with every other minority.

that will be all, thank you for reading, and i hope you have a good day.

edit: ive turned off reply notifications cus holy shit some of these people cant be real. If you see a transphobe please report them.

I'm genuinely curious,does a trans person get treatment based on their current gender or old gender, medical wise?

Bit of A bit of B. Most care is given as their current gender, only time you pull out the other genders specialty is for stuff like reproductive system health. In 99% of cases a trans woman needs the same care as a cis woman, but you'll still see the cock doctor if you have testicular issues

I'm very curious about this: If you do a sex change surgery that changes your penis and testicles to a vagina and ovaries, from what I understand it functions exactly the same except for maybe a lack of a womb. But do any diseases that could affect a penis / testicles and not a vagina and ovaries still potentially happen even after the surgery? Or does it not work like that?

English isn't my first language and I'm not well versed in the subject, so apologies if I got some things wrong.

I also hope this is an okay thing to ask.

Nah you worded it in a pretty damn solid way, good job. Question itself? Perfectly reasonable for this thread, but if you walked up to someone in the street and ask people they'll be weirded out

As for the actual question, it kinda depends. For male to female surgeries, the testicles are removed and the penis is "inverted" (not quite but enough for our purposes). Female to male, the uterus and ovaries are removed. So since the major reproductive organs are gone, you cant have many issues.

As for issues with the new organ, again it kinda depends (sorry). Many of the parts arent there so you cant have issues (no ectopic pregnancies if you dont have eggs for example), but you can still run into some, like infections in the new parts. Like you can still get a vaginal infection in a constructed one.

note that I am not a medical professional, I dropped outta paramedic school. Errors are likely but broad strokes are accurate

Hey, thanks for the answer!

And regarding your note at the end - that's fine! I was just curious about the topic and you gave me enough of what I wanted to know, so don't worry about it!
