    iirc, penile inversion vaginoplasty (which i think is the most common technique of vaginoplasty?) takes penile tissue to create a neovagina. so, the more penile tissue you have, the better your results are likely to be.

        Can phallo create a foreskin? If so, I wonder if there’s ever been a peculiar Jewish trans man who got phallo, got it with a foreskin, and then went through with circumcision. Just the right Venn diagram of trans status and idiosyncratic religious beliefs.

      The more tissue there is, the more depth that can ultimately be created per standard penile inversion. I know a handful of women who have gone through the process, those with smaller initial material ultimately went for zero-depth vaginoplasties because creating a sufficient vaginal canal would require a more involved surgery. Fortunately the ones who received the zero-depth are both lesbians so penetration wasn’t as significant of a desire for them as just getting rid of the nope rope.
