I used to post a lot here. There comes a point when you have said all that there is to say about something and I think I have reached that point some time ago.
My motivations for getting rid of my detesticles are what they are and posting here does not get me any closer to the solution I am looking for. I just feel stuck. No I'm not a woman trapped in the body of a man. Not that kind of stuck. The stuck I feel is about living in a culture that rigidly enforces the idea of two sexes and two genders. How exasperating that this gender binary is enforced not only by cisgendered (definition?) folk but also many transgendered folk. I hope someday we can live in a world that embraces the truce spirit of every person instead of choosing their gender for them or asking them to conform to one of two classic genders.

Re: Your choices are....
while right now you might be in a funk, rut, what ever you might want to call it, but, what ever you do , dont ever give up on your dream, of what you want to do, keep looking at things/angles of doing things outside the box persay, keep poking and prodding, sooner or later a door will open for you, 
as to society, I think its going stay this way for quite sometime, this is something you or I are not going change much but as time goes on, look at things from the 60s/70s to now on this topic, there has been much headway , but there is still a long ways to go, hang in there:)

Re: Your choices are....
Crankshaft is right. Hang in there.
I know, I know, that sounds cliche but back in the 70's, homosexuality was still treated as a mental illness. Now, there are actually a couple of states that allow same sex marriage and there are other countries where it is legal.
Once people know someone that is gay or alternate-gendered (a term I made up to be globaly inclusive) and realise we're all just trying to make our way through life just like everybody else, they become more accepting.

Maybe it's part of this whole guilt/judgement/punishment thing, you know control the masses. I've found life more enjoyable "off the grid", but know it will be back to the same old to soon.
