And with a new relocation

for a urethral opening.

And I'd be a happy camper.

Here's the thing,

when I become a doctor

I sign something

called a Hippocratic oath.

First do no harm.

First do no harm.

Right.

We normally don't remove

healthy body parts.

Right.

In my work I do transformations

of the genitalia,

so I'll change a man into a woman

or a woman into a man.

Now, why would we want to take off

a healthy penis in your case?

Why would I do that as a physician?

Um, years ago I fractured my penis.

It was definitely broken, snapped.

There's no bones in it,

so what happened?

Well, I went to a urologist

and he did surgery.

Sorry, how did it happen

in the first place?

How did you fracture your penis?

Intercourse.

Really excited, really erect.

She's on top,

came almost all the way out,

or maybe did all the way out,

and then she sits back down

and sharp bend.

Was there bleeding or bruising?

Oh, yeah. Internal bleeding, yeah.

Puffed right up and started

turning blue immediately.

Ouch.

A lot of scar tissue was generated

which caused some shrinkage.

It somehow disturbed the urethra.

Since then I keep growing strictures

in the urethra

where if I don't dilate the urethra

with a dilator...

All right, yeah. So you...

If I don't do that routinely

like every week or two, I can't pee.

Okay, and then you're just going to

feel me be very personal here, okay?

So... Wow, you've had...

Now, what is the...

There's...

you can feel a distinct lump.

Yeah, but you've, what's...

You have a stars and stripes.

It's what?

You have a stars and stripes

on your penis.

Yeah, that was another story.

I think if I was

to have a preconceived notion

I would have said

there's no way I'd agree to that.

With his story of the strictures,

I think we actually have grounds,

medical grounds

to suggest that he would be

improved by the surgery.

So we need...

we need your medical records.

We need the urologist evaluation.

We need a psychiatrist

or a psychologist

to say that you've worked through

some of this

and any of these other

psychological sorts of things

aren't going to be

a hindrance to us going forward.

Pleasure to meet you.

Doctor, thank you very much.

Dr Marci Bowers and I

have collaborated

over the years

regarding several cases.

I received a call from her

regarding a Tom Mitchell

who is considering strongly

transitioning

into an androgynous state.

There's something there

in his dedication to it

that is a very strong urge in itself

to be asexual.

What got me to thinking about

doing it sooner rather than later...

It's actually a confluence

of a bunch of different reasons

that all kind of came together

at about the same time in my life.

Everybody goes through romance

and break-ups and that sort of thing.

I guess I'm especially sensitive.

When I go through a break-up

it's difficult,

especially difficult for me.

And after several of those

and three marriages

I finally realised that I'm

incredibly attracted to women

and yet it's so easy for them to...

or because of that, it's so easy

for them to take advantage of me.

Or at least I feel

that they take advantage of me.

So that realisation

that I'm so vulnerable to women...

And at this point I need to do

what I can to make myself immune

to the distractions and the

emotional loss and drain of energy.

I really think that I need to do

something completely different

than what I have done.

Am I crazy for doing it?

No, I think I'm probably most

in control of my thoughts

that I've ever been.

Um, it's something that most guys

would never consider.

And most guys probably wince

at the thought of it themselves.

And I guess that most guys

probably would figure

that I must be crazy

for considering it.

But the reality is

I'm just wanting some freedom

and to make a success

out of my remaining years in life.

And I think that's a very rational,

very common sense thing for me to do.

Pall has told me

that it's getting too small.

It's possible

that in the final moment

he will say no,

don't touch it

because it's...

I don't want people to see it.

Maybe he doesn't want to

say it out loud.

This is just what he is thinking.

It has shrunk. All of it.

I feel that I'm kept on a thread,

just hanging in a thread,

waiting for something to happen,

that I don't know

if it's going to happen.

Can you put yourself in my position?

Running a museum,

expecting a specimen,

and always feeling

that this is coming soon,

this is coming soon, coming soon,

but nothing happens.

Something has happened

that I'm not aware of.

Must have, for him to suddenly

show a complete lack of interest

and a lack of respect.

To me it's frustrating,

it's discouraging,

it's a little unsettling.

And frankly

it kind of pisses me off.

If he thinks I'm the problem,

I can't understand this.

Because what does he expect from me?

If he's not interested enough

to respond,

I'm not interested enough to go any

further with him, that's all.

I'm not the problem.

He is the problem.

He's the donor,

he must decide what to do.

I think I need to check out other

possible venues to display Elmo.

And I know that there are other

possibilities in the world.

So I think I need

to check those out.

But it needs to be

a credible location.

I just found out from my doctor

that I have a blood clot in my leg.

The main vein in my thigh,

from the leg and all the way up to

the belly got blocked, you know.

And if this clot goes suddenly,

it goes directly up to the lungs.

Then it would be fatal, you see?

So I've been on medicine,

injections, quite a lot

for the first two, three weeks

and then I'm eating

an awful lot of pills

for thinning the blood, you know?

I'm not afraid of dying,

absolutely not.

This is the most natural thing

in the world.

To be born and to die, all creatures

in the world are facing that.

This is a document made by me

where I donate my penis and scrotum

to the Icelandic Phallological

Museum.

It happens in life that you

leave the work you have been doing.

We know this from history

that artists, writers, or whatever,

they die without finishing a work.

This is something

that nobody can keep control of.

Good morning.

Hello to you.

Hello, cousin.

Hello, dear Reynir.

Nice to see you.

Looking damn sharp.

There you have the donation document.

And now,

here Im going to present to you

Pall Arasons earthly remains

as instructed in this donation letter.

I have written a short poem

for this special occasion.

"A famous penis here we have

Preserved for all the ages.

"Though Pall has shed this mortal coil

Hes safe in historys pages.

"On the seas of his victorious life,

full sails would push him through.

"As long as boldness is admired,

Palls story will continue. "

Here you go.

Yes.

That was good writing by you.

This was great. Great writing.

Hey, this is elegant.

Damn, is it really

this grand and heavy?

Yes, this is quite heavy.
