In the other thread, it was answered that most post-op trans women do see a gynecolegist. I have a follow-up question. Why? The "vagina" is cosmetic/vestigial, is constructed of penile tissue, there are no female reproductive organs, nothing on which to perform a pap smear examination, so wouldn't a urologyst be more appropriate? Is it because seeing specialists for the birth sex is demoralizing? If so, is the psychological satisfaction more important than seeing a specialist who actually specializes in your actual parts? Wouldn't it be better to have a proctologist or an internist do a prostate exam? What is the point?
