For trans men who opt for genital reassignment surgery, scientists promise a new procedure could be revolutionary

Many transgender men do not opt for genital reassignment surgery. But for those who do want it, the procedure could be set to change following a new breakthrough.

Scientists have reportedly successfully grown half a dozen human penises in a lab and say they are steadily approaching transplantation in the next few years

It's a dramatic title but don't get too excited.

An article about this study was posted here in October but this one seems to be a lot more optimistic for FTMs for some reason. Is the source of the article just not investigating it thoroughly? The way they're doing it implies that it should work for trans men as well.
