It Really Isn’t All About the Penis
August 5, 2005 – 8:34 amFrom Buck Angel’s blog:
I have been getting some emails from men (not FTM) who want to have their cocks surgically replaced with a pussy. They don’t identify as women nor do they want to be women. They just want to be a man with a pussy.
Men with penises who want a pussy….

Jay, I’ve started frequenting your blog. You find such interesting stuff to think and write about. This is such another twist on embodiment and how the availability of medical technology helps shape what we desire for our bodies. I miss talking for hours at Zolas.

Jennifer,
Yes, it is mindboggling. Like there are men with penises who want to be like me…sort of!
Eli,
I miss you too. And thank you for your nice words. I was shocked when I read Buck’s post. It never occured to me that men with penises might want a vagina. You know, transphobia is so deeply ingrained in me, that I could not imagine any other possibilities besides self loathing. Who knew??
And yes, I’m trying to change my world one post at a time. I’ll keep everyone posted on my progress

Yes, I too remember Mira and going to Wicker Park and talking for hours. Eli is awesome!!!
Thanks again everyone for commenting, and thanks to everyone who read.
Kind regards,
Jay

I know that as a transgendered person myself I probably should be more open-minded about these topics, but non-TG men wanting pussies just seems so wrong. Actually, I would dare a bunch of them to go have The Chop and become examples for the rest of the men wanting this done. I think when Reality sets in that they’re associating a specific erotic emotion with a specific body part, they won’t want the rest of the baggage that goes along with having a vagina. *sigh*

Amber!
I think you raise a good point. There is a real difference between fantasy and reality. Many of us fantasize about alot things, yet have no interest in actualizing them!
For me, still, I can’t get over the fact that it never even occured to me that other men might want a vagina.
What was I thinking???
