How To Resist The Urge To Castrate Myself


Guest AndreaSC

Recommended Posts

Guest AndreaSC

Life has been pretty crappy for me, which, to make a long story short, has renewed/enhanced my desire to castrate myself. I know that doing so is totally wrong, yet there's a part of me that wants to grab a hammer and screwdriver and go "thwack!" "thwack!" on my scrotum and thus sever whatever connections there are between my testicles and my brain.

Yeah, I know that I shouldn't, but there's a part of me that still wants to.

Wouldn't that like kill so much? I can't help sorry as Im happy with myself even with my testicles.

Hammer and nail and go thwack? Can you explain how that would work to be honest? If you get a nail stabbed in your testicles, well, it would not do much. As I know you can get temporary testicle piercings.

I don't know much about how castration works, I just thought they chopped the testicles off...and sewn the scrotum back up.

How do you resist? Easy.

#1 You do it and you could bleed to death.

#2 You do it and you could be committed to a mental hospital.

#3 You need that donor material intact for SRS.

Nuff said.

I heard a radio interview with a woman who castrated herself by putting a tight rubber band around her scrotum and leaving it there. But she ended up needing medical attention at some point anyway.

((you)) do you have medical options?

I can not tell you that I have the same ammount of problems that you have had but I can tell you that I know what you are going through is painfull. I have attempted suicide 11 times in the last 5 years or so. One thing that I would like to say is to please be carefull as the doctor may need some of the things down there for SRS if that is your choice. Second is that I know fom personal experience that having something like what you described happen is one of the most painfull experiences as I had to have one testicle removed when I got into a bycicle accident and it was crushed. It is a worse pain than having three broken ribs at the same time. You have so many friends here that you may not know about. If you would like to chat or if you just feel like ranting please feel free to email me at [email protected]. if you would like to chat on the phone then just email me and I will send you my phone number so that you will be able to rant my ear off. I would like to hear from ya. One of my favorite things to do is to just listen to my friends and help them if they would like me to. Just know that you are loved for who you are.

Huggs,

Kristal

Just think of the pain involved. That was enough to stop me. Also, think of the money. Is risking your life bleeding to death really worth $1000? I'm pretty sure that's the cost of an Orchiectomy. Also, a safe alternative is chemical castration. Try getting a therapist to write you a note for an anti androgen.

Fighting the urge can be tough but remember that there is a huge vein going through the phallus and doing that will probably kill you. I know how you feel though. Sometimes I just want to rip my breasts right off but I know that would be stupid and very painful. I know I can wait until transition and you're strong enough to not do something this stupid :)

You are absolutely correct Leah. People who think about doing this are legions of our users. All have gotton thru this just fine without trying for a temporary fix. That is the key. Wait for the ultimate result of SRS. If you really can't wait any uroligist will do a castration with a letter from a therapist. However if they do it wrong there will be no tissue for SRS. If you don't have a therapist why not? You need that more than a castration right now. It is money well spent Andrea. Then you can get on hormone blockers and estogen which may help.

I too get very strong urges to give myself home-surgery (particularly when it is that dreaded time of the month). It is hard to fight that urge, but what has helped me get through it so far is living day by day, realizing that the unwanted bits supply the donor tissue (as was mentioned), and just generally having faith that the future will be better and ONE DAY, you will be able to get SRS (if you so desire) and will finally be comfortable, whereas if you bleed to death you might not get that same satisfaction.

Just this week, my sweetheart was "joking" about how maybe if he stabbed himself in the abdomen his doctor might take him seriously and give him the hysterectomy he wants.

Never a good idea...no matter how much you hate it...we all can understand the urges to do something like this...but again as everyone here has said...never a good idea....

      Thanks, Mindy. It has been so far. Tomorrow, work some more on the wife's grand monkey. Got the right side of the hood primed, just need to do a little more work on the left then I can prime it. Then a 600grit wet sand.   I promised the wife we would take out the bike this weekend.   Kymmie

      During my last visit with my psychologist (who has agreed to provide required letters of recommendation along with a colleague to provide the second) we discussed the shift towards my wife's acceptance. It was a long discussion but one point I mentioned was how much the two of us sitting down and watching this documentary helped:  The Kings | A transgender love story (2017)

      Oops, I did not mean to post that comment yet! I was going to also say, having read a mountain of commentary on the Review, I think Julia Serano’s response (linked by Vicky above) is the most accurate and thorough. You can also read a non-paywalled version at Substack: https://juliaserano.substack.com/p/the-cass-review-wpath-files-and-the   To me the three key areas in which the review is deficient are:   1. As has already been said here, its views on social transition;   2. Its attempts to give credence to the “ROGD” theory (without ever actually mentioning ROGD because presumably a canny editor knows that would be too transparently transphobic);   3. To me, most crucially, its claims about trans youth and suicide, which are dealt with summarily in about five pages and do not stand up to any deeper scrutiny.    I will be writing about each of these issues in isolation over the next few weeks and appearing on a radio show and podcast to discuss them late in the month. I will post links to these on TP later if anyone is interested.   All that said, I actually think it’s dangerous for us to respond with outright vitriol and condemnation to the review since, like any effective piece of disinformation, it does actually contain some factually based and even helpful recommendations. The Tavistock Gender Identity Service really was underfunded and understaffed and certain staff were not adequately trained. Trans kids really were funnelled away from mental-health support once they started gender-affirming care too. So yes, more investment in youth psychology services would help, as would a less centralised model of care, more training in treatment of trans kids, and more research.   One last thing for now: beware the claim that Cass ignored 98% of studies. That’s not strictly true. She seems to have taken other studies into account but leaned heavily on the 2% that met her standards. Nor does she ever claim that only randomised controlled trials are good enough evidence to justify the use of blockers for kids; just as with ROGD, she strongly suggests this, but is too canny to say it, because she knows such trials would be impossible. For now, I think the best response to this comes from the Trans Safety Network: “[…] we believe there to be systemic biases in the ways that the review prioritises speculative and hearsay evidence to advance its own recommendations while using highly stringent evidence standards to exclude empirical and observational data on actual patients. “ (https://transsafety.network/posts/tsn-statement-on-cass-final-report/)   To me, the scariest aspect of all this is that, if it follows Cass’s recommendations, the NHS will very likely follow Finland’s recent model of trans care, which seems to amount to a prolonged form of conversion therapy. I can’t find the link right now, which is probably lucky for anyone reading this, but I bawled my guts out reading the testimonies of kids who had been mistreated by that system. Truly horrific. To me, at least from my Australian perspective, the Cass Review is the most frightening development in trans rights in recent years. To me, the safe care of trans kids is THE number one issue in politics atm.   Ruth Pierce has a good summary of responses from trans folk and their allies sk far: https://ruthpearce.net/2024/04/16/whats-wrong-with-the-cass-review-a-round-up-of-commentary-and-evidence/

      Welcome to the wide, wild world of transgender, M.A.  It can definitively be overwhelming, but everyone here is amazing, so no doubt you'll get bunches of wonderful support. I think you'll be happy you found us.   
    • Sally Stone
      @Ladypcnj  This is so true.  I think all of us here have had a post or two that didn't get a response.  Sometimes, it's as simple as adding to your original to post for a clearer explanation, or re-reading what you wrote originally, and rephrasing it.  But don't despair, we aren't ignoring you.   Hugs,   Sally

      So, we left for lunch in our Taos, talked and went to the dealer and came home with the Cadillac.

      I have just finished reading the Cass Review, all 380-odd pages of it, and am totally open to questions including via DM if anyone wants more information on it

      What season are you?  If you don't know, look around on the internet. Or ask a girl friend..  Maybe someone here is even a color consultant?   And there are guides on figure-flattering clothes for all shapes that you should look into.    Abby

      Just know that your kids will probably turn out OK, in spite of the chaos.  One of my partners was widowed in her very early 30s, left with 3 kids.  They're teens now, and one graduated a year ago and is working, but still living at home.  A few bumps in the road, but the three are turning into responsible young adults.  It is amazing how resilient kids can be.  They should be able to handle your changes as well.

      I've been transitioning now for eight months but have been wearing women's clothing for 2+ years. I am over weight and approaching my 72nd birthday. I have purchase my solid color clothing online and recently graduated to 'V' neck tops. I have been hesitant to get anything more girly due to family issues, though with my hair style I am able to totally pass when dressed in a skirt and blouse.   About two  months ago I finally went and got my nails done (which I truly which I had done long ago) though not red nor pink (again family issues). To date I don't think I am having problems with being trans unlike others seem to have. The biggest problem I am having is with my clothing. Any suggestions my girl friends might have would be greatly appreciated.   Cindy

      Umm.... if a post is ignored, live with it?   My stuff gets ignored sometimes, and its OK.  My life is different, and may seem kind of wacky to others.  Some folks just can't relate, or if I'm needing advice they just don't have it.  Diversity is like that sometimes.  If your post gets missed, don't take it personally.  Also, stuff that is new on weekends seems to get ignored more, since most folks are busy with family or other stuff during that time.  Overall, I think people here are pretty helpful.

      I'd really love a professional stove.  There's actually one I want at Lowes, but its like $6k.  I've got plenty of money, the issue is that I'm not the queen (king?) of my den.  Or even of the kitchen.  My partner (husband's wife #1) owns that territory, and she's very attached to what she's got.  One of our stoves has 6 burners and a large oven, the other has 4 burners and a regular household sized oven.  And of course, there's always the wood-burning equipment.    Today was interesting.  We had the first campaign fundraiser for our sheriff and my sister.  My sister is running to be constable of our township.  Pretty sure she'll win, as her opponent is an old dude who is mostly running on "Don't elect a woman for a man's job"    What's weird is our sheriff is running as a Democrat, but he's conservative.  And his Republican opponent sounds like a leftist.  Welcome to Upside-down-ville   And of course all the kids got the chance to sit in a sheriff's car, and play with the lights.   We had a barbecue lunch and a dessert auction.  I baked three apple pies for it, and I was shocked that they sold for $20 each, since my cooking isn't that great.  My partner made her famous "Chocotorta."  It's like a chocolate layer cake with cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and it tastes amazing.  Usually we have it for Christmas and other really special occasions.  Two guys got into a bid war, and it sold for $175!!!    Yep, this is politics in the South.  Barbecue, pies, and police cars.  A great way to spend a Saturday

      Yes. That report is part of a conspiracy to torture and murder trans people. It is a lie. It is evil.
