Hello everyone. A little background on me: I'm a transwoman, I've been on hormones since my mid-teenage years, and I'm in my early twenties now. I've been wanting to get an orchiectomy for a LONG time, as it's extremely important for my transition. I've been watching this thread with a LOT of ...

Okay, just noticed something not so good.

There is a large darkish/purplish area on the scrotal skin on my left side. The thin, top layer of skin peels off easily and painlessly, revealing a red layer underneath. It's numb.

I'm going to keep an eye on it and possibly take some antibiotics ...

Thank you wishtobe, I really am enjoying my new found freedom

Hugs,

Brooke

I'
m surprised he hasn't already asked about self harm. Are you in a big city? Most big city urologists I've dealt with pretty quickly realized that the testicles were damaged, and all of them had seen multiple cases of genital self-harm and misadventure. You're lucky though that he didn't have ...

Hi Everyone :O)

Thanks again to everyone for all the well wishes, advice, and words of encouragement! It is somewhat comforting to know, even via cyberspace, that we are not alone in our journey of self discovery.

Just a brief update...

I'm able to get around much better now and am definitely not ...

Awesome Brooke! Glad this worked out so well for you. For most, with current medical/society views regarding voluntary castration, the best path is pretty much what you did -- damage the testicles in a way that requires proper surgical castration.

One question though -- you're transsexual, right ...

Congrats! Welcome to eunuchdom or if you prefer uniquedom. Wish you well. Are you also considering SRS surgery?



Thank you Hash! As far as SRS is concerned, it is something that is always on my mind and a good possibility for the future now that the testicles are gone! Time will tell, but ...

Hi Everyone!

Well, this is my first post as a newly castrated lady (besides my reply above) and I'm loving it! I'm in a bit of pain as I write this so I'll try to keep it short and sweet.

The surgery went well (in and out of the the operating room in just over an hour) and as an outpatient was ...
