I have a couple of pet peeves, my problem is I am apparently older than the average eunuch these days. The first peeve is "dysphoria" It seems to be an important psych term. The second is the proliferation of sexes. Not that I have anything against it, but there seems to be a new vocabulary every time I turn around. I remember Christina Jorgenson making the switch. The proliferation of sexes hit me when I was reading a novel; several individuals were gender fluid and referred to as they/them when talking about one individual. I had a hard time figuring out what was going on. I did figure it out, but I find the pronoun usage awkward. My handicap is I have been a male almost all my life, and as a eunuch, I still feel male. I might have gone the MtoF route in the '70s. But now I know I can not do the fairer sex justice. I write (clean) bitchen stories about badass women, maybe to compensate. I wish to go full nullo and take every opportunity to increment in that direction until I can force the operation. While I can never pass, breast growth would be a bonus. Dysphoria???

Life Story: Christine Jorgensen .

She was assigned male at birth, but always felt like a girl. She wanted to wear girls’ clothes and play with girls’ toys. As a teenager, she developed crushes on boys and struggled to understand her own feelings.

After she graduated from high school in 1945, Christine was drafted by the U.S. Army. Christine served as a military clerical worker for a year. After World War II ended, Christine pursued a career in photography. In her free time, she read about medical procedures to help people who felt that their gender or sexual identity did not align with society’s expectations.

In 1950, she traveled to Denmark for a series of surgeries and hormone treatments that transformed her body into that of a woman. The process took nearly two years. She chose the name Christine in honor of her surgeon, Dr. Christian Hamburger.

Christine intended for her transition to remain private. However, an unidentified person who knew about the procedures she had contacted the press. On December 1, 1952, the New York Daily News published photographs of Christine before and after her transition with the headline “Ex-GI Becomes Blonde Beauty: Operations Transform Bronx Youth.” Within days, Christine Jorgensen was both a national and international celebrity. When she returned to the United States in 1953, Christine arranged with the press to make her arrival a public spectacle. Hundreds of reporters greeted her at the airport in New York City. She required a police escort to keep the crowds under control. Christine gave an interview at the airport. She thanked the press for the warm welcome, but said it was “too much.”

Though I am an eunuch for a long time, I always sought to look as the man.

But I have never considered this desire to be my shortcoming.

I like to be the nullified man.

True, I have always believed that socially it is more profitable to be a young man .

Yes "more profitable to be a young man" or an old one too. I agree. I probably would not have had my carrer if I've been a girl.

Man took most of the place in society,but to the detriment of women. Where to look for social equality and mutual respect?

Maybe inside of us, this feminine part that somehow try to find it's way to express itself. The equilibrium should start inside of us at first and then shared.

I guess sometimes this feminine part take too much place, or desperately whant to live up with more reality. At the extreme it could be as a man with small boobs.

This is possible I think and should also not to be confuse with dysphoria which is something else, hiden more deeply. Or I'm confused with the vast range of possibilities in human gender.

Assuming you'd want to go nullo in as safe a way as possible, I'd not worry about the dysphoria label. Let them call you a green purple spotted moose if it will get you to your goal. Once you achieve the goal, just be the man you've always been. All that will change is you'll then have nothing between your legs and have something new to talk about with your primary care doctor.

Think of it this way, dysphoria is simply the medical terminology used to code and chart your situation/case so the medical folks can be reimbursed for the care they are providing you, from now through any surgery to remove what's left. After that, you can pretty much go on living your life as you do now.

So the world learned about C.J. at the same time I was born. For me, it was a synergy of wanting to be a eunuch and finally having prostate cancer. I was offered two options, removal and radiation. working in the nuclear industry, I knew enough about the physics of radiation to know I didn't want it, so I had surgery. Hormonal options were not mentioned, but he said if it reoccurs, they have some wonderful new drugs!! The surgery was 100% successful, but I had already taken the hormonal reduction castration on my own time. I am now allowed T therapy (no one asks why I have low T.) However, I am having problems with proscribed T with significant skin eruptions every two weeks. Next visit, I will push for E. I am too old to be embarrassed by all this. During my last hospital stay, for other issues, I had a nurse in the bathroom when I took a shower. When we lived in Panama, my mother said I would be a good nudist, all I wore were shorts.
