First off, I love this board, it's been a great help to me at a nervous time

Second

This is AWESOME!!!!!

having those things gone is great, I wish I had done this a while ago

I've always been uncomfortable with my 'equipment' particularly when it would get hard (which was way too often)

It's been great not having the discomfort, and never thinking about it

(That's why I had to post this, I realized how much simpler my days are now)

Keep up the great board, and thank you to all the wonderful posters

now if only getting SRS was as easy

Glad you are enjoying the boards TiffFox ... if you haven't already, please feel free to post kind of an 'introduction' post letting us know a bit about you

Hello, dear Tiff.

I joined the group when I saw Dr. Spector. I did not know that non-snipped people were allowed here, but of course they are--I really did not have to wait until afterwards! I have had SRS since, but have also been an active member here since. It is amazing how many wonderful people are here.

You did make a good choice by coming here for questions about your orchiectomy, and I am happy to see you here. How has the healing been since your last update?

Warm hugs,

Kelly

You of course know me as "Kelli" at Calpernia's

Thank you, TiffFox. It's gratifying to see someone as happy as you, and to think that this slightly irregular bunch had a part in it. FLO

You have a road ahead of you, yes, but some members of The Eunuch Archives have been down that road, and some are getting ready to. Yes, you will need patience, persaverence, and MONEY. Plus I don't know how many therapists' letters bought with how many expensive sessions. But rest assured we will be supporting you in spirit.

Kelly, Tiff ...

Kelly has of course been a great asset to the Archive for a while now, and it's great to have Tiff on board. I wish that we could really reach out to the transgender community because I think that even though most people here seeking penectomies or castration aren't transgendered there are a LOT of common experiences (discomfort with body, desire to be rid of male genitals) and knowledge (surgeons, other resources).

It seems to me that there is a big stigma in the TS community about being labeled a 'eunuch' because of course you are women and don't want to be seen as a man who has had his genitals removed.

Hopefully as more TS people visit and participate, and if people like Tiff and Kelly go out and participate in other TS forums and communities they can spread the word that we really aren't about labels here.

There are special TS forums that I would love to see become active here -- plus having the girls participate in the regular forums. I think that both the eunuch community and the transgender community could learn a lot from each other!

Thanks Tiff for stoping by and letting us know how you feel about the archive it is the best support group on the web.I hope you can help others as i feel they have helped you here you know thats how we learn here by helping others.I hope to see more of your posts here as we need your advice along with others thanks again.

Hi Tiff,

Have you been to the chat room? There are a few of us T-girls there and a lot of very wonderful and supportive people. The topic of discussion is what ever you would like to talk about.

Take Care,
