By Miranda Bryant For Dailymail. A transgender woman who underwent a vaginoplasty to have her penis turned into a vagina has described in graphic detail what the process was really like. Jessica, who identifies as a queer woman, had already started hormone replacement therapy and gone all the way to South Korea to have vocal chord surgery to transform her baritone voice when she decided to have a breast augmentation surgery and a vaginoplasty in one operation. After her vaginoplasty, which she had near her home in East Bay Area, California, she warned 'there are going to be parts of you that are going to melt off' in an interview with Truth Speak Project.

Melting: A transgender woman has described what it is like to undergo gender reassignment surgery; a video reenactment by the European Association of Urology shows what genitals might look like after the procedure. Jessica, whose partner was also born male and had already had the surgery , said there were elements of her recovery that she was not warned about by doctors, adding that it was 'really scary'. It is really scary. It is really really awful. At one point she claims she thought she was 'dying'.

Male-to-Female MtF gender affirmation surgery GAS comprises the creation of a functional and aesthetic perineogenital complex. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of GAS on sexuality. We retrospectively surveyed all MtF transsexual patients who had undergone GAS with penile inversion vaginoplasty at the Department of Urology, University Hospital Essen, Germany, between and In total, we received completed questionnaires after a median of 5. Of the study participants, Of those who had sexual intercourse, Most patients were satisfied with the sensitivity of the neoclitoris The self-estimated pleasure of sexual activity correlated significantly with neoclitoral sensitivity but not with neovaginal depth. There was a significant correlation between the ease with which patients were able to become sexually aroused and their ability to achieve orgasms.
1. Introduction
Thirteen male-to-female transsexuals were investigated in an intensive interview study. The follow-up period varied between 6 and 25 years, with an average of 12 years. Surgical outcome was disappointing, and only one-third of the patients where a vaginal construction was carried out had a functioning vagina. The importance of patient cooperation postoperatively is pointed out and reasons for noncooperation are discussed. The generally held view of transsexuals as hypo- or asexual is questioned. In this study, one-third of the patients were very active sexually both before and after radical genital surgery. More than half of these castrated and estrogen-treated former males experienced orgasm, but only one-third were judged as having a fair or good sexual adjustment after sex reassignment. The possibility of unsuccessful surgical results must continue to be an important part of presurgery reality orientation both in doctors and patients. One striking finding is that overall sexual adjustment is often unchanged by genital surgery. Psychosocial adjustment showed a slight improvement after surgery.
Also known as sex change or gender reassignment surgery, sex reassignment surgery is a procedure that changes genital organs from one gender to another. In both cases, technical considerations favor successful conversion to a female rather than a male. Newborns with ambiguous organs will almost always be assigned to the female gender unless the penis is at least an inch long. Whatever their chromosomes, they are much more likely to be socially well adjusted as females, even if they cannot have children. Reliable statistics are extremely difficult to obtain. Many sexual reassignment procedures are conducted in private facilities that are not subject to reporting requirements. Sexual reassignment surgery is often conducted outside of the United States. The number of gender reassignment procedures conducted in the United States each year is estimated at between and
