Screenplay Questions - cruzderivas - 07-04-2017
Hello!
My name is Manuel. I’m a screenwriter/director from Mexico, and I’m working on a script which features a character going through FTM transition. In the story, he arrives shortly after his Phalloplasty surgery, and I currently intent for that to be the only transition he has in the story. All that being said, I have several questions that maybe some of you could kindly help me with. A the risk of sounding stupid or naive, please keep in mind that I’ve only started researching into these topics, and I’m trying to achieve their most accurate portrayal.
QUESTIONS:
1) Is Phalloplasty surgery independent of testosterone treatment? i.e., could he have surgery first and testosterone treatment six months later or so?
2) I read in a book of first person, FTM narratives, that some people choose to keep both their surgery genitals (please excuse my crude language and, if there’s a better term, don’t hesitate in pointing it out), as well as their biological ones. In that case, can sexual pleasure be produced from both genitalia, or only one of them? I currently have it set up so that he uses his new penis for urination and his vagina for masturbation purposes, but I don’t know if this is possible.
3) Considering the first question, can he achieve an erection without testosterone treatment? If that’s the case, how? If that’s not the case, what other consequences are expected of, let’s say, a week on testosterone? I’m guessing that his voice won’t drop lower on day one, but, like with anything else, I don’t really know.
Thank you so much for reading me. If any of you guys can help, please contact me at cruzderivas@gmail.com, besides this forum thread. Thanks again, and cheers!
