So let's go to the next step. After speaking to your therapist (understandable after this trauma), they tell you that you have options to ease the discrepancy that now exists between your thinking of yourself as a man and your physical state.

They can't restore your penis. But you can take hormones that will lower your vocal register, let you grow facial and body hair again, and reduce your surgically altered breasts. You can reduce them further using a binder. If you continue going by your name (which is male) you'll be able to live as a man again. While you won't have a penis, no one would otherwise be able to tell you were assaulted by this Mengele.

As an aside.....testosterone, the primary male hormone, is made in the testicles, not the penis. So amputating the penis won't feminize the victim.

In addition, there is now penile transplant surgery. Not exactly at every community hospital....but it exists.
