this is probably what my “surgery” entailed. This is basically what the medical records describe. Essentially what happens is they cut you open from wherever your urethra is all the way up, cutting into the end of your cliterophallus, constructing and artificial urethra that ends ‘higher’ up, and then sew back up any “opening that wasn’t suppose to be there” at the end of the procedure, along with the giant cit they made down the middle of you.

All of this is completely unnecessary mind you, and is explained away as a “correction” and intended to “help you stand up to pee.” Just in case anyone want to know, I’ve never really been able to stand up to pee, and don’t mind it a bit, but it makes me wonder why the hell they performed this failure of a ‘surgery,’ and removed healthy, sensitive tissue from my body, leaving behind scars and traumatic memories. Oh yeah, I was four when it happened, so I can remember it :)

Some people with hypospadias are administer hormones as babies to make their bodies grow in a ‘more masculine direction.’ Others go through different types of surgery, some of which I have posted in the past. I don’t have all of the information, my medical records were not well keep, and my family won’t speak to me, about this or anything else, so I’m still searching for all of the answers.

Macaws, 2011

Quick Christmas doodle, I left my brushes in Chelt so had to make do with some of my old, thick bristled ones (shortly before I found Dad’s….). Ink. Mess. Progress in terms of speed and expression, putting work into a bit of a context, but still isn’t really anything other than sketchbook doodles.

This illustration of the anatomy of human sexual intercourse has been shown to be incorrect by MRI scans:

‘Midsagittal image of the anatomy of sexual intercourse (experiment 12). P=penis, Ur=urethra, Pe=perineum, U=uterus, S=symphysis, B=bladder, I=intestine, L5=lumbar 5, Sc=scrotum’
