Forty-seven patients (87%) completed the questionnaire. Age ranged from 18 to 52 years (mean\u00a0= 26 years, SD\u00a0= 7.4 years). At the time of interview, no patient had undergone GAS of the genitalia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Main Outcome Measures<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Answers to completed questionnaires.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Seventy-six percent of patients identified themselves as male, and 24% wrote other terms such as \u201cmostly male,\u201d \u201cinter-gender\u201d and \u201cnon-binary.\u201d Gender identity had a significant impact on patients\u2019 preferences for two questions: the importance of vaginal removal and the importance of having a penis that would be passable in places such as male dressing rooms. These items were more important to patients identifying themselves as male. The most important attributes requested were preserved orgasm ability and tactile sensation. The least important attribute was removal of the vagina, followed by having a penis of human material, minimal scarring, and size. The ability to urinate while standing was considered a high priority by some and a low priority by others.
