Castration Friendly Counselling in UK

[ScotsEunuch (imported)]

I live in East Scotland and have spoken to a few counsellors to try and work through my castration desires but each one has made it clear that they think it’s a ridiculous idea. I don’t want someone to just say yes. I want to be challenged to ensure that I heading down the correct path for me but the counsellor has to be at least open to the idea of a eunuch as a lifestyle choice.

Can anyone recommend a eunuch accepting counsellor in the UK, Scotland would be especially helpful. Female would be ideal as I can struggle to open up to men.

No location suggestions, but if the counselors you have talked with haven't been part of a Transgender Center I'd suggest reaching out to one of those. They are supposed to be more used to dealing with gender-identity issues, and ought to be familiar with the latest WPATH standards of care, which now include people like us.

Unfortunately there have been posts here about some WPATH honcho in the UK that seems to have personal issues with folks wanting to become eunuchs, and is gumming up the works there. I'm not up on whether it is all the TG centers, or just the ones associated with your NHS. Hopefully some of our UK members can give better info.

Honestly; it’s not going to happen. The U.K. is miles behind America on trans and non binary healthcare. I mentioned my desire to be nullo to 2 London clinics and got flat refusals, along with a suggestion that I needed mental health treatments instead. Just go abroad - the Mexico Transgender Centre does good work, and for a simple orchie is quite affordable - $3k plus airfare to San Diego and a few nights in a hotel. £5k total. Apologies for the bluntness but as a U.K. eunuch / nullo for the last 11 years, I’ve got nothing but contempt for the U.K. NHS and government approach to trans and non binary people.

Apologies for double post, but re reading this I realised I sounded like a right grouch, and I’ve given the same response to similar threads. Please do try trans friendly clinics in Scotland, I know that the Scottish government is generally more pro trans than R-U.K. - it may be worth looking for private clinics that do direct referrals rather than relying on your GP. I’ve recently heard rumours via various WhatsApp groups that a London clinic is now offering the required WPATH 8 evaluations and the op for £30k - but can’t be more specific than that. It’s worth digging and refer them to WPATH 8 if you get hardball responses. And if you get anywhere, please if you’re comfortable doing so, share the news so other U.K. folx can get help too - it’s currently feeling quite grim down in London But if you get nowhere, there are overseas options

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah I want to avoid the NHS at this point as they’re more likely to want mental health intervention than actually help.

In the media Scotland is portrayed as progressive and forward thinking but in reality it’s a very socially conservative part of the UK. The Kirk is a lot more Hellfire than the CofE and even these days that seeps through society. Homosexuality between men wasn’t legal here until ‘81 and there’s plenty of politicians of all parties in Holyrood that would still have it that way. So finding counsellors who are open to the concept if a man wanting his testicles removed but who doesn’t want to be a woman has proven difficult. I spoke to one who didn’t think trans women should stay married to a woman they married whilst they were men, her response to my bi sub bottom marriage was that if I regained my dominant make role with my wife and stopped being a sub to her and her lovers I would probably not want castrated. My reply that perhaps she was right, but who’s cock would I suck then? Kind of floored her. This apparently LGBT friendly counsellor clearly couldn’t grasp that a guy married to a woman could possibly want to be less masculine and could enjoy being a submissive whilst still being in a loving relationship with that same woman. I didn’t pay her for her time and have been cautiously looking for more open help since.
