Hi,

I’m Richard from Windsor in Berkshire. I’m new to the forums and just wanted to introduce myself... I’ve taken a huge step and spoke to my gp about chemical castration and surgery, but when I said I have no interest in transitioning to a female she didn’t have any idea of what to do? So, so has referred me to the urologist? I have a feeling that the urologist isn’t going to surgically remove my testicals without it being medically necessary? Does anyone have any experience with this in the UK?

I’ve just purchased 100 needles and syringes and have a litre of good vodka... Any good advice? Thanks for your help.... Richard
