The prostate is up the backside, not up the penis. So no removal of penis, no removal of testicles, just the prostate.

The prostate is internal, it does not have to affect your sex life or urination if it is removed. All cancer treatment does not mean removal of the prostate. Most men can still have sex even if the prostate is removed. An enlarged prostate will cause frequent urination, but going is the same as before. Prostate problems has nothing to do with being transgendered and it certainly does not give the man a vagina.

I have had prostate cancer. I was treated with radio active seed implants. It is called brachy therapy. Yes I still can have sex and everything is normal. More and more men are opting for not using surgery when they get prostate cancer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostate_cancer

The prostate is an internal gland, not located in the penis. And men usually are able to have sex with removal of the prostate, but sometimes they are unable to achieve erection. You should google prostate, and become more familiar with male anatomy. And more men should familiarize themselves with female anatomy--many males have no concept of where the clitoris is, and how to stimulate it properly.
