First off all, if this is offensive, let me know and maybe delete this post.
This is a thought both me and the SO had while we were just in bed.
We were talking about phantom pain, and how the brain can still feel pain from body parts that have since been removed. Think leg amputations etc.

You can see this coming, im sure, but do any trans have phantom pain after surgery? Like, pain in balls, penis, boobs, ... After they have been removed?
We legit want to know, as we are very intrigued in this stuff and (and i quote) "are freaky people" :p

Edit: thanks for all the replies! Very insightful and interesting! Sorry for the 'freaky' comment, that was not intended to be hurtful. We are weirdos to even think of this stuff, but please remember we see you as human beings and not as freaks. We wish you all the best and a happy life!

While I appreciate your curiosity, I just wanted to point out that thinking about the experiences of transgender people is not "freaky," nor are we freaks ourselves. I assume it wasn't your intention to be demeaning, but please try to consider how your comments will come across. This is our life experience, not just some kink or fetish.

    If I'm being generous, I think what OP meant was something like "sitting around talking about other people's penises, vaginas, and breasts would be considered 'freaky' in just about any other context and we can't shake the feeling that even in this context, spending this much time talking about other people's sex organs is freaky"

    I think you misinterpreted that comment, so let me clarify. This is not meant as freaky, the sexual thing, and more as freaky, the weirdos thing ( because we thought of this and decided to ask the question ). We are generally intrigued in science and psychology which is why we had that question.
    I get what youre saying, but you are probably misunderstanding us from past life experiences and always having been seen by others as freaks and having to defend yourself.
    We do not consider you as freaks, and only wish for people to be happy.
