why is a man's adam's apple more prominent

[crisgal]

...........than a lady's?
Can it be removed? What if someone wants to change from a man to a woman - do they take it out?

[Skreecheeboy]

Think they give them HRT which reduces it by reducing the amount of testosterone. Possibly lazer treatment on it but i'm not really sure. You thinking of getting the snip?

[CheekyChops]

That's usually how you can tell a woman is or was really a man, they have an adams apple!

[hippyhoppy]

there is an operation for transexuals, don't know the terminoligy but yes, the old adams apple can be reduced/removed.

[crisgal]

do you mind, skreecheeboy?!
I am a lay - dee!

no, just one of them things that you wonder about.

nothing else to do.

I interviewed Jayne County - once Wayne County, and we discussed gender reassignment surgery.

She told me that having her Adams Apple shaved surgically to reduce it was the most painful part of the surgerical proceedure - far more agonising than the genital surgery.

Food for thought isn;t it?
