Hello everyone! I had my surgery last August and my surgeon did the inguinal technique. I'm posting this just for general information and also to compare notes with those whose surgeons went through the scrotum. I wasn't expecting the surgery to be so difficult to recover from and the inguinal ...

Still no date set yet for my orchiectomy, but still focused on having it done.

Thanks fopr that. I'm feeling pretty decent and if I would just stay on my estrogen non stop I'd never have these episodes, but from time to time I start to worry about taking pills all the time and I just want a break. Then I stay off the pills for too long and that's when I get into trouble ...

In my opinion there is no good time to tell anyone who is intimate with you that you are gender different.

The reality is that we are attracted to other people by their gender. Just as some people (usually men) are attracted to hairless bodied women with breasts and a vagina, some other people ...

Additional follow up. Back in the groove so to speak on taking my estrogen and finasteride. I doubled up on the meds for the first week and have been taking my normal prescribed doses now and I'm feeling so far away from where I was when I started this thread.

As an update on what's going on with my situation, (and I wonder if this shouldn't all be in the blog area), I've only been back on premarin and finasteride for a week and my T levels have to be WAY down now. I've always been very receptive to hormones, so the speed is what I've always been ...

Written communication can be a pain in the ass, can't it. I see we are on the same page, but it's a great topic and I'm thrilled things have progressed so, even if it's way past my childhood.

It's interesting to see how different people respond to hormones differently. My T levels were never high but I seem to over respond to the presence of relatively low levels of it. Addiction is a funny thing, I have no chance of becoming addicted to alcohol or drugs. I get nothing from them that I ...

So, just to give you guys an update on my two episodes of banding that totaled about 20 minutes. The brusing is still there and sore to the touch.

I agree with this totally, but never heard of any data suggesting that possible gid kids predominantly grow up to be gay.


I find the current protocol of blocking puberty for those who have cross identified appropriate. Going too far past that before at least 15 or 16 would be irresponsible ...
