VAGINOPLASTY – NO, NOT A PORNOGRIND BAND
Friday, November 20th, 2009 at 2:30pm by Axl Rosenberg
Decibel have followed-up on their fascinating 2008 article on the transformation of Cretin’s Dan Martinez into Marissa Martinez with an interview with Martinez chronicling her vaginoplasty. Which is exactly what you think it is. Here’s an excerpt:
In the months leading up to your surgery, what kinds of emotions were coursing through your veins?
Honestly, I really couldn’t wait to get my surgery. For the most part I was really excited. But, I did have some anxiety over it too. Even though I was well informed, I just didn’t know what to expect. There’s so much mystery and intrigue out there when it comes to this surgery. “What will it look like?” “What will it feel like?” “Will it work?” “Will I be able to cum?” Of course I had talked with some other post-op t-girls to see what they had to say, but they often came off so overwhelmingly positive about their experience that I found it difficult to take all that they were saying genuinely.
So, ultimately I reached a point where I had to ask myself “Do I truly need this, and why?” My immediate response was a resounding “YES!!!” even if I hadn’t really articulated the reasons why. I realized that no matter how taboo or exotic it was to be a “Chick with a dick,” that paled in comparison to actually feeling comfortable in my own body. That’s ultimately what it comes down to. Sure, there were moments where using my penis was fun. But, there were even more times where using it felt wrong and I would find my self staring down at my partner with total jealousy. It felt like I was on the wrong side of the cock, and I hated it.
Then when I started living as a woman, it was either in the way, or completely out of place. So, even “not using it” became uncomfortable because I perceived it as something that just should not have been there.
There’s also physical health reasons that encouraged my decision to get the surgery. I had to take high doses of hormones, and testosterone blockers, to combat the testosterone that was produced by my testicles. Pills are really bad for your liver, and I took a lot of them. The hormones put you at risk for blood clots as well, which can lead to heart attacks or strokes. I only need to take estrogen now, and it’s a much smaller, and healthier, dose. So, ultimately, I just knew I had to get cut, and I couldn’t wait.
Although I suspect a lot of you will have a fairly immature reaction to this conversation, I think it’s really interesting stuff, and definitely worth a read. Check it out here.

I actually got to hang out with her a few months back and she was really chill.
But from what I recall she needs to work on her billiards skill.
That beer gut is very unbecoming.
loved freakery.
would love to see her jam
well…i…hm.
good for her!
Cretin was/is decent Repulsion warship-in a good way!
At least here is a band that would have a member have an actual sex change opperation, unlike the poser nu/metal/emo/death core bands that only sport women’s hair and jeans.
+e.
that chick has a penis
*had*
Holy hell look at the nose.
Go her. GO HER.
Interesting read. Good for her
Well…that dude from Jethro Tull had a sex change, and I mean, they’re OBVIOUSLY the most metal band ever. I mean, shit, they beat Metallica out for that Grammy award so long ago…
That being said, I would completely hit that.
Im sorry being ignorant, but who is she? or who used to be?
Wow. She looks damn good!
AHAHAHAH, the fucking Newcastle Brown Ale bottle, the most manly drink ever. Gotta change your drinking habits aswell as your penis.
Well, that’s one way to incorporate girls in the metal scene…
I wonder how long she has to wait to use the new javina. I’ll do it. It’ll be a nice change from all the pre op trannies me and Axl R. have been banging.
Wow! Great, interesting read for this website. Great job, guys! More like this.
Fucking cool. Glad she’s able to finally feel free and happy. Very cool article.
GOOD FOR HER! Glad you guys posted about this. Marissa rules!
I would definitely break her in. Nice!
okay, I saw another picture and I wasn’t sure, but now I can say it
she looks like Tory Lane
Thanks, you just ruined any matierial with her in it.
I’m glad that you posted about Marissa’s struggle to find a sense of belonging in her own body. You chose a very appropriate day on which to post it, too (November 20th, which is Transgender Remembrance Day). Thank you for sharing her story!
nothing classier than a chick (?) drinking Newcastle brown, lol
that article was fucking awesome.
Good for her. I love metal and have an aunt who is now my uncle and can not find a better way to say
‘good job’. Keep it brutal!
LOL @ everyone drolling over her. It’s a guy who just had his cock shoved up into his colon people. Cretin did rule, but seeing them now is totally different. When I read the article when Dan/Marissa had the sex change it baffled me. Yet I didn’t believe it at first but still he/she still has the remains of a cock.
