Do y’all ever get phantom genitals? Like I stg I have a pussy, and then I look down only to see the dysphoria noodle. But my brain is telling me there’s nothing there

Around 50% of trans people experience this! I am doing my senior thesis on it :) SJ Langer 2023 as source for 50% statistic

This happens to me too. I know I got my dick and balls removed and just have nothing down there but then sometimes I’m like going to pee and walk up to a urinal or like another person said think “damn my balls itch”

VS Ramachandran 2008 and SJ Langer 2023 are the only empirical studies in the world on this so far! I’m hoping mine will be the third :)

THATS SO COOL I’ve always wondered how many experience it. Because ik in my experience, it feels like I have a pussy. But I don’t have one (yet) and so it’s a weird feeling to have that disconnect
