Where do I start? Probably the same place I was when I stopped androcur two years (or so) ago.

Ok, not exactly the same place...A bit more money, better job (this is questionable, but at least this place pays well, and I have yet to hear gay-themed jokes) and living on my own.

Why have I started the thread? I am still thinking about going back on antiandrogens. The gender/aesthetics,etc.. questions haven't disappeared anywhere, they were just pushed really deep for that time. What happened is, that I ended up in hospital for a week (that was a month ago), and unsurprisingly, got probably too much time to think. That triggered thinking about what I want for myself, instead of running from myself and problems.

So here I am in early stages if planning this. In any case I am not going to do anything until after the trip to Thailand and Cambodia. (I do not like an idea of taking antiandrogens through customs on transit (thinking of potential language barrier and so on)).

PS. There will be the followup post, cause this one is written from the tablet computer, and it's keyboard is horrible.

fhunter..Why the trip to Cambodia and Thailand?? While there, you might want to check out their surgical services and avoid the need for anti-androgens...forever..A couple hundred bucks..et voila...eunuch...Wonderful, eh? smooches Jackie

Thailand -what an opportunity! They do it for less than was the copay on my insurance. You could even choose what to be done -anything between an easy orchie and a smoothie nullo. All done with professional staff and best surroundings.

I gotta agree with Jackie. Wonderful is the understatement!

Although you are not ready for surgery I agree that you may have an opportunity to research the possibility. In any case, enjoy the trip. --FLO--

Ok, I was a bit late with the followup, but life got in a way (gathering final vaccinations for Cambodia, work and so on).

To answer the questions - I wouldn't be alone there, so orchie is out of the question even if I was ready for it.

It started when I thought about how and where to spend my vacation time and sister asked, if I wanted to accompany her and nephew to Thailand and Cambodia. It was an opportunity, which one does not refuse (I want to see the world , and I was kept from that for some time, due to dodging the draft, and letting my international passport to expire in process).

So that is the primary reason of going. If in process, I get a "feel" of country, it would be a plus. Not sure, if I'll be able to research anything surgery related there, probably no.

ree with Jackie. Wonderful is the understatement!

Is that still possible, then, in Thailand? When I make inquiries, they all tell me 'visits to two Thai psychiatrists are required + female gender identity; and if you don't appear en femme - they won't believe you.'

If anyone knows an address with a different policy, I'd be all ear.

(Hope this post is not out of line. Pse squish promptly if so.)

The name comes up frequently on many forums etc. This is not a recommendation one way or the other.

He speaks English and his wife works as a nurse in Thailand.

FYI, he was one of those who told me 'only for transgenders, and if you don't appear en femme - no deal'.

The question is - does one need to be passable, or is the 'en femme' requirement only to satisfy some local law/medical community requirement?

En femme only to satisfy local/medical community and that you are in right mind and know what you are doing
