Transsexuals vs The Future
TrannyGirl15 asked:
My speculations on how medical technology of the future could benefit transsexual people.
wow! hi
ur REALLY cute. hit me up! i have a webcam and get naked on it all the time! LOL =) t
they say im hotter than tila tequila! she is hot!!
jesus…you loooook sooo cute!! hot and splendid!
Stem cells do have another use. That is for breast augumentation. It is being done in Europe and Japan at the moment using fat and stem cells taken from fat. Google Stem cell breast implants for more imformation. Like any new technology it is expensive so those who can be patient should wait. I am older so I may go for conventional saline implants
Laser works for some but the tried and proven electrolysis is the best way to go. Either way it HURTS as you can imagine with out novicane. What really hurt for me was the 20 or more anesthetic injections done prior to the hair zapping. The person doing the injections actually dulled two needles before she finished. I felt like a pin cushion. I also had quite a lot of bruising afterwards. Thankfully that is nearly two years behind me and I am post op 15 months as of this writing
Electrolysis is incremental… It takes lots of hours… You might as well start now, and not “save” for it… Then you can benefit from having less body hair sooner.
yeah, thats what ive read. im hopping to get full body electrolysis once i have enough saved that is..
You’re talking about SRS. This is not true of all procedures (there are different ways to perform SRS). For those that require hair removal, it’s actually better to get electrolysis there, as it’s more permanent.
i herd that you have to get your pelvic area laserd, or else your new vagina will grow hair on the inside because of the skin used to form it. :S
That would most likely require human cloning, but you still have the problem of transplanting the entire spinal cord without making this body unrecoverable.
mmm… select a doner cadaver that would meet the dimensions! As I understand peripheral nerves do regenerate…though it would be damn tedious for the patient to wait for them to do so!
That’s even more difficult to do, in my opinion. How do you trsnsplant a spinal cord? What if the new body is not the same dimensions as the old one and it doesn’t fit? And then, you still have to reconnect all the nerves to the spinal cord.
What about transplanting the entire central nervous system…the spinal cord would then remain intact?
A broken spinal cord is obviously rather annoying, but if this obstacle can be overcome, then perhaps brain transplants are not that far off into the future, assuming it can be done without damaging the brain.
Apparently most can’t tell the difference. I would guess it just feels fairly “tight” all the time.
Brain transplants are not medically practical at this point, but head transplants are. The first head transplant was successfully achieved in the 70’s, and repeated in 2001 both by Dr. Robert J. White. The patient was a spider monkey that retained all cognitive functions after the surgery; brain function was preserved during surgery by cooling the brain. The monkey couldn’t move of course, but Dr. White did not bother trying to repair the spinal cord. Head transplants are possible now!!!
understanding that the post-op trans vagina dos not have the same internal muscle structure as natal vagina,then how does it feel to men who penetrate it?
Anything? Not really, but medicine will keep progressing in very powerful ways.
Fascinating discussion. I think anything is possible, and probable.
Except that the lubrication comes from glands near the opening of the vagina, not from the skin…
I saw a report somewhere that states that the skin of the penis, when inverted to become the vagina, will change and become much like a “natural” vagina. In other words, the body adapts it so it may be possible that there is some lubrication after some time.
But the cells in a reversed penis aren’t really “vaginal cells”… No offense…
Some of us post-op girls really do lubricate though. One theory is that it comes from the prostate gland, which I find difficult to believe, as how would any fluid produced there end up in the vagina? Another idea is that the vaginal cells have an ability to make limited secretion, a more likely theory.
It was exactly CAIS and other intersex conditions that got me thinking down that route, but in order to actually grow a uterus (or testicles, for that matter), I can definitely see the necessity for altering the DNA itself. Hadn’t really thought about Y chromosome eggs…
I think you might have to alter the DNA. I know that CAIS women (XY individuals that are completely insensitive to testosterone) develop a vagina, but they do not develop ovaries or a uterus… So the DNA might make a difference when it comes to reproductive organs. I’m not sure if you can develop fully functional female genitalia with male DNA… But if you can, there’s still risks of problems with the fetuses (a Y chromosome in the eggs?).
I was just thinking about something similar the other day- about how stem cells have been used to grow a new penis in lab rabbits who got their lil’ bunny wieners cut off. My understanding is that the parts were grown separately and then grafted on. I wonder, then, if it would actually be necessary to monkey with the DNA itself, or would it be sufficient to grow the new parts with a hormone bath, causing it to grow against its natural bent?
There has been research into repairing the brain using stem cells, with the intent of curing diseases like alzheimer. I’m pretty sure I heard they had some success restauring the brain of mice. I don’t know if they’ve done any human testing though.
