Should boys who are born with noticeably small penises be reassigned as female?

I sometimes wonder if my life would have been better had my parents raised me as female (with corrective surgery, hormones, etc, before puberty). I am honestly surprised that the doctors didn't recommend it, since there was a famous case around the time I was born. Size matters, no matter what politically correct people try to preach. As a woman, I would at least have had a shot at love and sexual relationships (doctors can create a functional vagina far easier than they can a functional penis... obviously I would have been infertile).

  • No. As said before, being a man is more than your dick size. It's the body you were given, you need to learn to love it and use it to better yourself. If this were to happen it would be like telling everyone with a below average penis size that they aren't really a man and that you have to be huge to be valued. Fuck. That. Noise.
    A man is a person with a penis, no matter what size. You cannot just imply that anyone below average doesn't deserve to be a man any more. Should women with small breast be turned into men? Should children with disorders be put down? If this change happened then when would it stop?

    • Women with small breasts are seen as attractive and desirable by many men. Very few women (assuming they are being completely honest) prefer smaller penises.

  • They would have totally taken away your ability to procreate without even knowing whether or not you wanted to.

    They can't know with certainty that your penis would be below average anyway.

    And, besides that, deciding children's sexes for them is unethical.

    You do have a shot at sexual relationships. Putting penis in vagina is one part of sex, and if you're good at the others, size really won't matter. Besides, there are girls for whom average or above-average penises can be too BIG.

    • I am most likely infertile now, due to the syndrome I was born with that caused me to be small in the first place.

    • They knew when I was born that I had a medical issue (small penis for a baby and undescended testes).

    • What syndrome is that?

  • Parents don't have the right to make that choice. If the child grows up and wants a sex change, that's their decision. But gender and sexual identity are complex and nuanced aspects of a person's being. They are highly personal and not necessarily at all related to physical characteristics (e. g. penis size). There is no way for parents to be sure that their child will be happier if they choose a sex change for them. Therefore, allowing parents to make that decision doesn't make sense.

  • What utter nonsense. I know you're the same guy who constantly asks about penis size again and again, and frankly I'm sick of it. You ask these questions for the sole reason of whining and attracting a pity party.

    • This is not a pity party. Gender reassignment has been done in the case of "intersex" babies. I'm asking what people's opinions are regarding this topic.

    • Most people (men and women) don't understand what goes on emotionally with people who are born with reproductive disorders.

    • But you're not intersex. You're a fully grown male.

  • No they shouldn't. That is something that the kid should be able to decide if they want done once they are old enough to make that choice.

  • It sounds like you have some gender identity issue. You may want to research it

    • I am resigned to my fate now. I'm talking about what might have been had they done something when I was a baby/child. My doctors over the years never knew what to do with me, emotionally. All they knew to do was give me hormones. They couldn't help me with my emotional scars from not developing normally.

  • what's stopping you from have a sex change now smartass?

    • I already responded to this question from another GaGer. It's easier to do this kind of thing at a young age (through hormone therapy and surgery) when the body hasn't fully grown and developed, i. e. bone structure, adam's apple, etc. I'm simply asking if this should be done at birth. Is it better for a man to grow up with a small penis, or to live as a woman and not have to go through that pain?

    • I find it interested that you never even mentioned the big problem of not being attracted to guys even if you had a sex change. No matter what people chose to believe, the truth is you're either born straight, bi, or gay and that can never change (it's been proven). Judging from your answer I think you're a closet homosexual and won't accept it.

    • I am 100% straight, for the record.

  • What in the hell... these penis size questions are really evolving
    Bro you have a dick so go dick some lady down or wife one up whatever you wanna do

    • I also have a lot of emotional issues from being born with a rare genetic disorder.

    • I don't what you've been though or your condition and maybe i'm being insensitive but wouldn't those issues be eased by meeting someone

  • that's really stupid bro sorry... they still have a penis so they r males

    • It's been done before.

  • You really don't understand gender and sex, do you?

  • No they should not.

  • MASSSIVE FUCKING FACEPALM

    • *hits the upvote button 'til his thumb breaks off*

  • If you're size bothered you that much why wouldn't you just use a few toys to please her then get to the sex afterwards.

  • Being a male is more than the size of his penis for fuck sake

  • Ok... if you're really serious, why don't you get it done *now*?

    • Because I've already grown to be a (n underdeveloped) man. Physically, it would have been better to do it as a child, so that I wouldn't have developed my larynx (adam's apple) and masculine bone structure. Hormone treatment, I mean.

    • You're so petite down there, but you 're still better off as a man at this point?

    • I'm considered "medically normal" now (as in not a micro-penis), but still smaller than most men, which has caused a lot of emotional trauma over the course of my life.

  • That is just stupid :/

    • Why?

  • dude quit whining and go out and meet some body already

  • No that doesn't make you any less masculine :)

  • Wait you've heard of that case and yet think it's a good idea?

  • Should men cursed with excess body hair be labelled as beasts and sent to zoo? I am that type.

    • Not at all. That's a masculine trait.

    • no dude not at all.. its a very disgusting thing and a beastly trait.. not manly and human in any way...

  • GAG is such an awesome site. You never know what you're going to get.

    • Thanks for your empathy.

  • ... it's time to deactivate my account... smfh...

    • It's a serious question. Men with small penises face a much harder life than men with normal ones. Reassignment has been done on intersex babies in the past.
