Transsexuals and the phantom penis
Transsexuals usually want sexual reassignment surgery. A typical remark from a male is they feel like a woman trapped in a male body and their penis doesn't belong. V.S.Ramachandran wonders what is going on the brains of transsexuals. He notes that if the penis is removed due to cancer, the patient feels a phantom penis. If the penis of a transsexual is removed, there is no phantom penis. What does this say about the hardwiring of the brain? Ramachandran says we have a brain-based body image detailed down to the fine anatomy of the genitals.
