Vinny Ohh, 23, wants his genitals removed to accomplish his dream of being an alien, a dream he has had since he was 17-years-old.
The make-up artist from Los neither wants to be a male or female.
Vinny has spent more than 50,000 US D, an equivalent of Sh5 million on more than 100 different superficial surgery procedures transforming himself into a gender-less alien.
He has undergone two rhinoplasty operations and 35 body and face laser treatments.
The wannabe celestial who wears large black contact lenses, fake nails and strikingly colored hair, which complete his unique and interesting look, grew up in a small town in Oregon, where he affirms that he never felt at home.

“My goal in regards to my look is to become an exact, scientifically proportioned, sexless human being. People talk of ‘gender reassignment’ but am looking to have ‘gender unassignment’. Am looking to change my genitals so there is nothing there, there will just be a hole to pee out of,” he said.
Vinny adds that he does not reveal his identity as transgender, and neither does he restfully slot into a per-existing category of gender.
“When people ask me how I’d label myself, I tell them am an ‘extra-terrestrial, hot mess, self-obsessed.’ It has becoming my slogan,” Vinny explained.
The final procedure towards his transformation which involves having his genitals, nipples and navel removed will cost him around 160,000 US dollars; Shs16 million.
Surgeons have however told Vinny that they might not be able to perform the surgery.
“This procedure has never been done. It is totally a new territory. Its experimental nature is highly risky and it could also impact on basic bodily functions like Vinny’s ability to urinate,” said Dr. Simoni, a renowned plastic surgeon based in Beverly Hills.
The surgeons have recommended Vinny’s transition to female as a first and safe step towards achieving his goal but he has his mind fixed on being left with a doll-like genital region.
“I don’t want to become a woman, I just want to be nothing. Some parents have actually said that they want their kids to be like me, that I am an inspiration to children who don’t feel like they belong” said Vinny.
