Hello there. I'm not exactly certain I am going to transition, but my partner is MTF (I guess our gender dysphoria brought us together?) and I am presumably FTM. I know that uterus implants are possible and that a handful have been successful. I have also done research on penis transplants and apparently one was done four years ago to some man in China, who then had it removed. On many articles I have read they have detailed that a lot of the nerves would be severed and so that there would be much less sensation, and because the blood runs heavily in that area to become erect and whatnot, that it would be very difficult to do such surgery. However, when both donors are living, taking another's organs, do you think that it would be possible?

Although that would be an ideal situation, I can't see it happening in the foreseeable future.

As I've learned more about my own anatomy (MTF) I've come to understand there are a whole lot of blood vessels, tissues, organs, and nerves involved with the whole "sexual organ" thing.

Add to that the various channels they fit into (the penis actually extends a few inches inside the pelvic area, and the testicle parts (which are removed during an orchi) extend into the abdomen.) A woman's parts are even more integrated with her internal organs; so it's not simply a case of cutting off the penis and scrotum, and sewing it on where the vagina/labia used to be.

I suspect that in the cases of penile/uterus transplant, (assuming they got the organ from a cadaver) that the process of cutting out the desired parts involved less-than-beautiful procedures....auto repair people probably do something similar when they have to transplant a body panel: They cut out the damaged part, measure the donor car plus several inches of material in order to be sure it fits, then cut it out and trim as needed. A living human donor would not survive the removal of the needed extra tissue.

But someday we'll have Star Trek level medical knowledge...perhaps even better than transplants, we could have our own "male" or "female" parts cloned, and then grafted into the body.

We can hope!  Best wishes in your relationship, btw!

At the moment no.

Unless your partner is identical to you in their tissue type (HLA match) then you will reject each others transplant. There are some organs that are relatively protected in transplants. The liver for example is genetically 'easy' if technically difficult to transplant. But even then the patient has to stay on immunosuppresive drugs for life, with all the complications they involve.

I also think that getting a surgeon or surgeons to do the work would be impossible unless you are a billionaire.
