I've just been reminded again of the fact that I almost allowed myself to be talked into undergoing a "Metoidioplasty" early on during my time pursuing medical transition. I was very proud of my testosterone induced "bottom growth", and multiple other (older) FtMs that I knew...

The excuse we heard was that the surgeon said they would otherwise have "two dicks", which would be unacceptable. Other surgeons were disassembling clitorises to use the nerves for the phalloplasty. What was left of the clitoris wouldn't be functional. This is still happening.

My surgeon told me they took nerves from it for the hook-up to and then usually burried it. They said there'd be "50% less" feeling in it and that it'd be sort of accessible under the skin, which at least sounds better than removal/clitoridectomy because it retains some function.
