VINNY OHH: I see my look progressing to a more otherworldly look.
COMM: 23 year old Vinny Ohh is making it his
mission to become a real life alien.
VINNY OHH: My goal in regards to my look is
to become an exact scientific proportioned sexless human being.
COMM: Vinny grew up in a small town in Oregon,
never feeling like he quite belonged. So, at age 17, he packed his bags and went in
search of new adventures.
VINNY OHH: I moved to LA at a really young
age and moving here everything was always about sex appeal and when I think of alien,
I think of like… ugly, like aliens don’t really have genders in my eyes at least and
I just, I connected with it.
COMM: Since moving to LA, Vinny has found
new motivation and belonging in his pursuit of alien perfection and through his work as a make-up artist.
VINNY OHH: To get my alien look, I spent around
about $60,000. I have had around about of 110 procedures - three surgeries, 110 procedures.
COMM: But now Vinny wants to push his plastic
surgery journey even further to where no man or woman has ever gone before.
VINNY OHH: I’m looking to have gender un-assignment.
I’m looking to change my genitals so that way there is nothing there, just going to
be like a hole to pee out of. I want my genitals removed because life would be easier. I’m
also celibate, which actually I’ve never told anyone really before.
DANIELLA MALFITANO: Hi Vinny!
VINNY OHH: Hi sis! DANIELLA MALFITANO: How are you?
VINNY OHH: Good. How are you? DANIELLA MALFITANO: Good to see you.
VINNY OHH: Good to see you, thank you for coming today.
VINNY OHH: Yes, it has. Come on in. Things have been really crazy with everything online,
but, you know, it’s all an adventure. DANIELLA MALFITANO: Yeah, I mean, I feel like
the first time we had this conversation was probably three years ago?
VINNY OHH: Wow!
VINNY OHH: Me being celibate is my way to
be at peace with myself and my body on this process.
DANIELLA MALFITANO: I want to support you through that process. You know, I’m concerned
with the psychological effects of the surgery, that it could have and you know messing with
your biochemistry and your hormones because, you know, we mess up our biochemistry just
a little bit and it can throw us completely off. What happens when you decide that you
don’t want children today, but you may want children later? Of your own. Have you thought
a little bit about that? VINNY OHH: Of course I have. I thought about,
you know, wanting kids of my own. But ever since I was 16, I wanted to adopt kids outside
of the system. DANIELLA MALFITANO: I really have a concern
about cyber bullying and, those are my biggest concerns, just his safety. I’m concerned
about, you know, him changing his mind about surgery, like later in life, but the more
and more we talk about it, the more it actually feels like this is actually truly what he
needs and wants to be more authentically him.
VINNY OHH: Right now we’re going to Dr. Simoni’s,
because he is absolutely incredible at every procedure. He is one of those very
well rounded doctors. I’m excited because I haven’t actually been to doctor to talk
about this, like a surgeon in a very long time, because I was very kind of like shy
and quieted by previous doctors, so I’m excited to see what he has to say.
VINNY OHH: When I tell doctors my goals, they
typically, well, like giggle, not think I’m serious, rush me out of their office, find
like another excuse, tell me you need to go see a therapist, you know.
DR SIMONI: So first let’s start with, why
do you want to have this done? VINNY OHH: I’ve been wanting to have this
done because for many reasons. First of all, I don’t use my genitals, I’m already inter-transitioning.
But I never really wanted to be a woman, that’s not, I think that’s kind of an easy way
out. I feel that, it would be easier just to have like nothing.
VINNY OHH: There will be a point when I’m
finished with plastic surgery completely and that will be after I have softened and have
removed a couple of things, but I just have, I have a list.
DR SIMONI: Now if you creating a new type
of a sexual organ, which is actually asexual organ, we don’t know how your body is going
to react to it. The surgical procedure that Vinny wants to have done is very unique, it’s
not been done before and many doctors will have to take the consideration, the psychological
aspects of it as much as the medical aspects of it. My main problem with his procedure
was that what he is going to think about it in 10-15 years, because all the bridges are
gone. There is no way to come back to female or male, and he is young and now he has to
live with it until he is 80 or 90 years old.
MARCELA IGLESIAS: I personally love Vinny’s
look because I always like people that they don’t look normal per se, or what society
say that it’s normal. I support Vinny’s transformation becoming a genderless alien,
like I said, if he is ready to do it, I would go with him, be by his side.
VINNY OHH: I got a lot of good information
from him. It’s nothing honestly that I hadn’t already heard before, but I’m really happy
that I went to him, because he kind of has been nicer, kinder and just more gentle about
the entire situation, very accepting. So, I’m very happy we went to see him today.
VINNY OHH: Of course! I totally believe in
aliens. There are definitely aliens out there. Are they here? Am I in communication with
them? You’ll just have to wait and find out.
