I would like to spend a minute on my thoughts about a few things that have been said in this thread. I am here because I have Gender Identity Disorder, also known as transsexualism in my case, but I see no difference between me those who wish to be castrated, penectomy, or nullo who are not transsexual. It's all gender identity disorder of one kind or the other. The feeling that ones gender is not appropriate for one's mind. To me, the individual reasons are not that important because even though I am transsexual and my reasons for not wanting a penis and testicles may be quite different for someone else, it's still wanting to get rid of unneeded or unwanted parts or the effects of the hormones they produce, because they don't feel right.

But having said that, I really don't buy into the whole "those who want it will do what it takes", mentality. In the transsexual community we call it "transition or die", but it means the same thing. The only problem with this mentality is that only a very small few ever transition and of those even a smaller percentage are passable as truly live in their target gender without detection. The large majority lack the resources or the excellent health that is required for such a transition. With median individual income in the US at $31k and family income around $50k, the average person can not afford the $5-10k for therapy to get the letters one needs, the $5-10k for electrolysis, the thousands for doctor visits, blood testing and hormones, not to mention the $25k cost of the surgery, not including breast implants for $6-9k, and facial feminisation surgery that can run from $6-75k.

And for some, even if they could come up with the $75-125k that transition costs, have high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease or sometimes just obesity that means hormones and transition are out of the question. Only a small percentage of people with gender issues ever see a therapist, but of those who do, only one half of one percent .5% ever transition. The rest are the non-op transsexuals. I am one of them and had I believed in transition or die, my only choice would have been to die.

And one more side note: I have lived my life as a female for over six years now and I have seen many of my friends transition over the years. In my discussions with them both before and after transition, I am not convinced that surgery will cure my dysphoria any more than what I am already doing. I can't say that I ever met anyone that regretted transitioning, I have not, but I have been told that the dysphoria persists even after surgery. It never ends.

Lately I've been thinking about the best way to go about this would be. There are multiple organs to consider here with the skin itself also being one of them. The least invasive way would be to approach it slowly. With minimal damage to the skin each organ can go one by one every several months or so beginning with one of the twins, the glans can be considered one organ in of itself. The last organ to go should be the skin and the urethra itself.
