snort ....giggle.

PH - well why not?

Lester is a pretty cool guy, eh write content-free 'n00z' and doesn't afraid of anything.

"strapadictomy" - you had me snorting out loud at that one - very good! And then again when I realized the pronunciation of the last part. How do we get a new word made official?

The thumbs down, because, well, that's all the poor chaps get.

transsexual men were getting "the short end of the stick"

Brilliant. You owe me a new keyboard.

Before someone accuses me of being an unfeeling sod, I have known several Transsexuals. M2F, and one F2M.

I am proud to count one of the F2M transsexuals, as a close friend.

Paris, because my friend is much better looking than that talentless strumpet.

I think transsexuals deserve mechanically working genitals, as a "strong and reliable glue bond", while nice to have, is surely not on the Truly Desirable List.

Sadly, it's already official. Google it: it's a route on Froggatt Edge put up by (IIRC) John Allen in the mid-70's. A homage to the original ascent can be seen in the legendard Hard Grit video.

No IT angle, obviously :-)

Look, I just want to say thanks as I've not laughed so much in ages, half the team here at work where in tears... except for one person who felt that their monitor had been sullied but they're a DBA so don't count...!

I'd always heard it as an "Addadictomy"!

Mines the trench with extra deep pockets for my new appendage!

No news, but plenty knob gags on the way. It's that Friday Feeling!

""pretty strange to approve prosthetics that can’t get erect, because that is after all what penises do - get erections"."

Ask Bob Dole about that!

"Wankers!" - I think that's the point. They'd rather like to be!

...is this hardware or software related?

Fnarrr

In the recent US election John McCain repeatedly warned of the dangers of socialised medicine, if he'd known about this his head would have exploded! Palin's eye tic would have gone into overdrive. I'm sure the Republicans will raise it when the new administration eventually gets around to trying to implement health care reform.

I tried this word with my ex wife. She's a nurse, and told me the "-dichtomy" bit meant a removal - not a strappon. Check, pse?

transexual men and women are not 'fakes'

I remember an article in Cosmopolitan Mag, 20+ years ago about vibrators.

A doctor wrote in Cosmo pompously, "One should never put anything unsterilsed into the vagina"

To which a female wag wrote "How do I sterilise a penis? Boil it?"

I tried this word with my ex wife many years ago. She's a nurse, and told me the "-dichtomy" bit meant a removal - not a strap-on. Check, pse?

And every single comment in here.....and article

Computer is currently covered in tea too funny. I know it was posted yesterday but was too damn busy to read.

Now the question is how hard can it be to get an erect penis?

They've got erection problems? Welcome to men's world!

None of the "replacement parts" people get during a sex change function like the real thing. Breasts don't lactate, don't feel and often don't look like the real ones, reproductive organs are useless for reproduction, vaginas don't moisten like they should... Nothing new here, really.

@Andus - I think your wife means "echtomy" - Which hospital does she work at? I must remember to avoid it - "No Nurse! I said 'prick his boil!'"

Does this mean they'll be strapped for cash???

I am having quite a bit of trouble sorting out who needs what from first reading this article.

> transexual men and women are not 'fakes

Most "real" men and women can reproduce with a suitable partner of the opposite sex.

No amount of mashing up your genitalia is going to give a male to female transexual a womb etc and so on. Maybe "fake" is a bit strong, but these people haven't really changed their "sex". If changing their outward appearing sex makes them happier fair enough, but making out that they have somehow reversed how they formed in the womb is a bit silly.

Quote : btw, does anyone else have a problem working out if a transsexual man was a real man and is now a fake woman or was a real woman and is now a fake man?

Sorry as a M2F transexual I disagree with that, I am a woman always have been just have a little cosmetic problem that needs sorting out. there is nothing FAKE about transexuals either way...

I stand corrected, or erected...whichever.....

Actually, it was Frimley Park hospital in Surrey. One of my kids was born there, dammit! (Henry William Herschel Crofts). He made it.

Now, I must go home with a leg of smoked Elk in my back pocket of my green Barbour. Other pocket conceals my eeePC. Honest.

Fun, ennit???

No!!!!!! (just got off the floor having (finally) finished laughing) - what a wonderful monicker...Considering the subject should your last name be "Hymen"??

One I forgot to Mr. Alan Potter - I saw that cartoon (prick his boil) about 30 years ago. Was it in the newspapers called the Belly-Laugh or the Extinct?

And women who cannot give birth are not real women either? A man without spooge is not a real man?

There are (IIRC) 27 different medical categories of human sexuality. Male and Female are just two.

And get erecting ones? It can't be that much more expensive once you've gone to the trouble of saying you'll provide one at all. Now for the appropriate term for the...wankers.
