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!

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.
