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!

    That makes sense! So no phantom pain because the nerves are all still intact and there!

    Thanks! ^^
