Regret after castration

[raymar2020 (imported)]

No regrets here either, I feel correct these days, and certainly not having any of that sloppy junk under my penos is even more of a plus. As to the gel comment, look into injections, I do them once a week ,and no fuss no muss, and everything works like it should.

Raymar,

What are you injecting? My urologist might want to discuss my dosage with me since my recent T test came back very low.

Injections 1 - 2 weeks of T cypionate keeps this nutless household in good order and happy.

(I've never tried the daily goop; the injections are small, easy inexpensive ($30 for 10 shots after insurance)and last a week or two.)

To unencumbered,

I use about 3/4 of a cc of Depo testosterone 200 ml, every 7-8 days. It keeps my levels ideal, and if i know that I have a strenous schedule coming up , i will up that amount to 1 cc for a short time. That really boosts my energy level when needed.

Every once in a great while, I will look at a woman, and feel a twinge... but it passes... no regrets, only wished I had done it sooner.

No regrets either.

I have low T since starting Triptorelin last June. Never had any regrets at all: no side effects so far, and the libido has diminished to a large extent. The more 'chem-castrated' I become, the more I like it. No regrets whatsoever. Advice to anyone considering castration: first try chemical castration, only then proceed to have the balls gone.

No balls for ten months now. Libido almost nil. No regrets. Less of a big deal than I thought it would be, especially as the time grows since my surgery. Feel fairly "normal", actually.

I neither regret waiting for my orchiectomy and colectomy as long as I did, nor do I regret getting them.

I am the first person in my close family who has the heredity cancer gene (the condition is now labeled attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis, a condition not recognized as being genetically different from more common forms of familial adenomatous polyposis) to live past my age/birth-location-cohort average life expectancy (about 68 years according to my grasp of U.S. Government actuarial tables), and certainly do not regret not dying from cancer much younger than I now am, as did my dad and brother, who apparently had much the same genetic proclivity for cancer.

Cancer surgery works best when done before cancer develops. Cancer that has not yet developed simply cannot metastasize.

Part of my cancer risk strategy is avoiding testosterone to the best of my practical ability, as though it were a form of plague.

I find that I am sufficiently of the two-spirit (transgendered?) realm that my sense of very low testosterone has been, since my orchiectomy, only gratitude for having very low testosterone.

Meanwhile, I apologize for having been somewhat scarce here. I have not forsaken the Archive. Some other family member medical issues have kept me remarkably occupied.

So has my work in making sense of prejudice against people who are of serious gender diversity lived experience. I tend to abhor such prejudice, perhaps because it nearly murdered me for want access to of effective cancer preventive surgery.

However, I forgive people who have gender diversity prejudices, doing so because it has become stunningly clear to me that people who are prejudiced are merely acting out the prejudices indoctrinated into them in ways they were, and are, unable to prevent.

I am entertaining the possibility of writing and seeking peer-reviewed scientific journal publication of the research have done, and am continuing to do, on the theoretical biology of prejudice as an aspect of the creativity of human biological and social evolution. That "entertainment" has also been consuming much of my available time and effort.

Perhaps human society will be able to evolve so that people can be true to themselves without being treated as being false to society.
