This animated illustration depicts the differences and relative locations of internal structures between normal male and female anatomy.

Please note that successful male to female gender reassignment surgery does not create internal structures (organs), but:

  • Approximates the external appearance of the genitals.

  • Creates a skin lined vaginal canal.

  • Provides normal urinary function.

  • Provides sexual sensation.
