So, in the article "He's pregnant. You're Speechless.", there is a line that says "Mr. Beatie does not have a penis; his clitoris was surgically reconfigured to mimic a phallus".... I, for one, had no idea what that meant. So, of course, I looked it up.
First, I looked up phallus: "a symbol or representation of the penis."
(http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/phallus)
Which, to me, didn't really clarify what the above statement meant. So, I kept searching, but i didn't really find a source that could tell me what this statement meant. Although I did conclude that the statement above and "bottom surgery" aren't the same thing.
But, I did find a couple of online sources that explain the male-female and female-male bottom surgery:

http://www.faqs.org/health/topics/64/Sex-change-surgery.html
They also explain other issues concerning the surgeries.
I hope this helps, whoever else was wondering about it.
