I know of a pre-op MTF Transsexual woman from Portland who had the orchiectomy procedure performed by them last August. Successful for her. I think the procedure is probably limited to transsexual women.

Yes Jeff, I would believe this is only for transsexual women, but it does offer another outlet for those women now.

At one time there was another surgeon doing orchiectomies for TS women for less than $1000 in Oregon, but he not longer did them by the time I was ready to be done.

Thank's Patricia for posting this news. I'm sure many TS women will now give this consideration.

Hey.

I stumbled on a site for female to male transsexuals. One FTM guy posted an question about support services in the Pacific NW. Anybody have any information I could pass along?

Amazing to read how this and other FTMs express themselves in writing. They read as totally male.

Thanks.
