In January, Swedish transsexual men (males born as females) can get undergo a prosthetic Johnson surgery for free from a certified plastic surgeon. The only catch is that the appendage comes only in the limp state. Transsexual women (females born as males) have been able to get wigs, breast implants, and hair removal operations to help them transition into society, but until now, men didn’t qualify for cosmetic fixes.  While Cecilia Dhejne, a sexologist and specialist in psychiatry at Karolinska Hospital in the Stockholm suburb of Huddinge, agrees that the measure is an important step forward, she remains critical of the decision because the prosthetic penises cannot be used to urinate and cannot become erect.
“It’s easy to think that it’s pretty strange to approve prosthetics that can’t get erect, because that is after all what penises do—get erections. It would be appropriate to pay for those as well."
