Transgender man has penis construction surgery using skin from his stomach
Early on Billy-Joe told his girlfriend he was transgender and wanted to become a man. That was five years ago. He was 21. "This is going to be difficult journey are you with me?" he asked. He had already once tried to take his own life. "The road seemed so long at the time."
Since he was a four-year-old girl named Connie, Billy-Joe Newington has been desperate to be a boy. He started taking male hormones when he was 23 and had a double mastectomy last year, but it was not enough: he felt that to become a man he would need a penis.
"I couldn't carry on living with a vagina basically."
Billy-Joe lives in Wales. At the pre-op in London a cosmetic surgeon told him about an operation called a pubic phalloplasty. The surgeon would peel an oval shaped piece of skin from under his bellybutton and down below his pubic line.
"Where the tech stands at the moment the penis I'll end up with is realistic enough," he told Hack.
"I can stand to pee and with the erectile device I'll be able to have sex with it.
"What more do you want?"
Billy-Joe's firs
t phalloplasty operation was late last year. The skin from under his bellybutton was rolled together - like a Swiss roll - and stitched up again to make the main part of the penis. Then they cut skin from the sides of his stomach to cover the exposed flesh.
"It took six to seven weeks for me to stand up straight."
