Re: Why?
I have read that many who have similar desires to become a woman, get castrated to reduce their testosterone, and then never follow through with the rest of the TG operation. It could be that some of your feelings to become a woman will end or be reduced to the point that you won't go through with it. Hash

Re: Why?
Eunuch is a valid gender identity. There are far more possible genders than the simple polar pair of "male" and "female". I know a couple of people who have made the FULL male-to-female transition with sexual reassignment surgery who later decided that they weren't female either and settled on "eunuch" as their identity. I know one Female-to-Male who has since settled on "eunuch" as well. Take your time. Explore your options. Don't do anything irreversible until you know for sure.

Re: Why?
WOW so much great advice and I am now just reading this thread for the first time.
First and most important, take your time.
As you know this is not an instant answer of how to fix things, having said that there are several things to do that I would recommend.
See your regular doctor, have a blood test, check liver and testosterone count: you might even want to get a bone scan. This gives you a benchmark or starting point that you and your doctor can check from time to time to make the best health decisions you can.
See a head shrink, talk about everything and understand who you are, what is between your legs dosen't matter in this context. Remember the biggest sex organ is the brain.
Ask your doctor for a castration drug that you can take for a year, yes a year, this will let you take castration on a test drive and it will also get you to a neutral place, not male or female.
After you have done these things you might know what or which way you want to go. It could be TG or Eunuch or even Male.
Remember only you can make this decision, dont let anybody force you or try to convince you of what you should do, this is one of those decisions you must make alone.
Between now and that point down the road where you make your decision you will have thousands of questions, post them here and you will get answers. Remember though that everybody is different and what I experience may not be the same for you.
I wish you the very best and good luck,
River
