Joking aside, what a rotten bit of genetic luck with which to get saddled. Best of luck, guy.
He's about halfway there:

Wait....penis enlargement surgery EXISTS??? Why don't all men know about this??? Hang on guys, I'm going to find out what the largest penis in history has been.....and then I'm getting TRIPLE that size!!!
It's my understanding that it's more of a last case scenario kind of thing, like, most guys don't want to have surgery on their penis and it can also have complications too.
Yeah, unnecessary surgery around all those nerve endings sounds crazy.
Congratulations on your new 14 inch wang, no feeling.
Rumor is that's what happened to Elon's dick. Botched enlargement surgery.
I would say it's probably not worth it just because you will most likely have sensory loss and erectile dysfunction which for most would be worse than the problem its self. Theres more risks as well, but those alone sound like a nope from me.
The real question is, why isn't this covered by Medicaid?!
It exists, but the complications are prohibitive for someone that isn't hit with disability level malformation. Plus, there's a limit to what it can do
I kinda feel for the guy. That’s a really unfortunate situation. He says it’s the size of a pinky finger nail. It’s gotta be hard for him to go to the bathroom, which he says is why he wants it enlarged.
Damn this is almost a transitioning operation. Give him a big hog now.
This is actually a great example of how the majority of 'gender affirming care' is actually for a person who is already assigned at birth the gender they are affirming.
This male, who was assigned male at birth, is seeking gender affirming care to become... more male.
He doesn't need anyone to "affirm" shit, he wants to be able to take a piss.
And women who get breast implants after receiving a double mastectomy are simply restoring their body back to what it was, neither affirming or changing but rather 'restoring' the appearance. The category of operations received is still called gender affirming.
Anything that is manipulating the body more in line with the perceived gender is called gender affirming care.
And it doesn't even need to be surgeries. Men with low T receiving testosterone shots is a form of gender affirming care.
And yes, I read the article.
It's still under the umbrella of gender affirming care, as are men getting breast reduction surgery or hair replacement. If you're implying it needs to be for sex, then I don't think you understand gender very well.

I commend him for publicly talking about it. I also commend him on his ability to admit his poor behavior. I genuinely hope he gets what he wants from this experience.
He said he's struggling to approach "females"...
All of a sudden my empathy's on strike.
Wo-men. How hard is it to use the humanizing word?
Edit : my preshot was correct, in the end of the article, it's reported that he sent unsolicited intimate pics and made fatphobic insults.
The surgery might be expensive, but it will save a lot of money over the years with current fuel prices, as he can go drive a normal car instead of a massive truck. More Americans should do this, especially fElon and diaper Donny.
Michael Phillips said online on Thursday that he needed the procedure to improve his ability to urinate, which is difficult for him given that he is reportedly 0.38in (0.97cm) long when fully erect. Otherwise, he said he must continue to wear diapers for adults with incontinence every day.
This is a compelling reason. Let's help the guy out. Donated.
Does this qualify as called gender-affirming healthcare?
Almost certainly. Gender affirming care also includes things like breast reduction for men, and anything else that is done to make someone appear more like the stereotypical form of a given gender. It doesn't matter if you're assigned that gender at birth either.
Maybe? The article says he has trouble urinating and has to wear diapers. One of the goals of the surgery is so he can urinate properly and presumably not have wear diapers any longer. So I can sympathize with him. On the other hand, it doesn't appear that the surgery is strictly medically necessary either.
that must be really hard
I think difficult would probably have been a better word to use.
In non-shithole countries this procedure would be covered by insurance because of the severity of his case.
What the fuck, Musk doesn't have enough money and needs a fundraiser???
I would give him some money if he lets me... Well you know... Suck it when it's finally 14". That's fair since you gave some my money for the cause. Right?
Never heard of putting a blowjob on layaway before. Also, great deal for him; usually it's the recipient that pays for it.
edit: apparently, it is a medical issue. Let the guy have the surgery. shitty that he has to launch a fundraiser to pay for it.
Edit 2: OK, I get it, I admit that I was wrong. I don’t know what else you want me to say. I APOLOGIZE FOR GENERALIZING
The article says he has to wear diapers because he can't pee properly and that's why he wants it.
Good on you for recognizing when you are misinformed and changing your stance.
It's disgusting that Hasan the millionaire isn't just using his own money for this.
Oh, he's definitely going to do porn after this surgery
How dare this man try steal my story and use it for money making.
Pretty sure this is just his way of humblebragging about his 0.38" horse cock.
Hold up, nobody even asked me
