Effect on mind when male genitals reduced by medication ?


Sarah Victoria

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I am new to the site and hope i dont offend anyone in how i ask/approach my question.

 

I suffer from gender dyshoria and dearly wish to reduce as much as possible my male genitals by medication. Maybe go as far as have them removed one day. To me they are that repulsive and undergoing therapy about them.

 

The question i have is the effect on the mind and emotions should i first go down the road of medical (otherwise known chemical castration ?) .  Can anyone give me some advice but also experience if they have gone down this road first ?. Any noticeable changes from start to finish in ones mind ?.

 

Regards

Hi Sarah,

 

just going to answer your question here, it seems like you need to at least try the hrt approach.  May I ask what your age group is ? As some meds are better suited for your age. 
 

The brash dated medical terminology really is rather funny to be honest.  I was told that I am not to have goseralin because it’s chemical castration I instead went on cyproterone for two years and was like a zombie.  But others may be ok, sexually they both do deplete T levels although my levels are within range of puberty I can function sexually but leave me feeling very run down and poorly next day (weird I know hehe) you have to really try so that is a very bold statement and individualist it varies from person to person.

 

Anything you want to know about transitioning in U.K. any paths just message me hun 🙂

 

Oh and I’m soon starting a electrolysis course so I can practise electrolysis on the public I currently do it on myself, massive dysphoria for me is facial hair it’s nearly all gone now.  
 

I won’t go on 🤣 take care hun x

Hi Bridget,

 

Oh please go on, i would love to know so much more and from other girls such as you who are further down the road embracing finally being a woman.  I have so many questions.

 

My age group is 51, although feel and look 91...so unlike your lovely photo of yourself in your profile. You look radiant.

 

Yes, i intend to go down the HRT approach, but by being 100% honest with my therapist and doctors i will follow their guide and see how i go.   Interestingly you mentioned chemical castration as that was mentioned also in my recent meeting but not explained fully yet.  Can you let me know more about this please if ok with you ?.   Have still to undergo required blood tests etc so anything can be possible.

 

I share your dysphoria about facial hair.  I have hated that since i was in my teens ....horrible.... likewise chest although have been lucky on both counts as my hair is fair, not much noticeable stubble and thankfully on my face no nine o'clock shado.  So please let me know how you get on with your electrolysis course......

 

My other dysphoria which i do suffer badly from is in regard to my manhood between my legs.   To be honest its never been that effective even during my marriage (which am happy if you wish to know more) and detest the sight of it.   I so want it to disappear or at least be reduced as small as possible as would during my daily exercises in the morning wear my tights and leotard comfortably with no horrible man bulge. So look forward one day to have that lovely woman shape to replace it.

 

Thank you for your lovely greetings and would love to exchange fashion talk and ideas with you. 

 

Warm hug to you

Hiya Sarah,

 

so have you had your first appointment with the GIC in London?

This chemical castration terminology is utter rubbish it purely isn’t.  The injection goseralin is a three month injection like a grain rice they inject in the tummy it’s fine I don’t mind needles. I’m almost an electrolysist so yeah hehe.

Alternatives are available I wouldn’t touch the cyproterone if I was you, I managed it for two years and working as a HR assistant in different jobs as new me with these tabs quite honestly felt utter despair and depressing thoughts. 
 

Electrolysis is great but get laser first for 10 sessions on the face and neck gets rid of the majority. This will save you a fortune, then go to electrolysis.  I am going to be doing my BIAE course end of next year which will allow me to do self employed work for trans patients.  

Fashion tips well we are all individuals, I like simple timeless investment pieces not one for buying loads of cheap clothes that sit in the wardrobe hehe.

Just avoid halter necks and to much exposure to the shoulders in the beginning but honestly hrt may resolve this for you ☺️
Makeup I can offer you some advice, you find as you go along you will discover techniques that work for you.  
 

I guess now it’s rather unpleasant how you see yourself down there, gender dysphoria is very complex issue in amongst us.  It grows stronger I find with the HRT as your mind does adjust to being female, so many of us focus on the physic of transition but quite honestly the mind changes and the feelings you get are immense I’m incredibly sensitive person so I benefit from feelings horrendously so.  I won’t go to personal on myself but just to give you an idea. 
 

Please feel free to message me direct I am happy to chat and help, I didn’t get much help and I love to help 🤩

 

Cuddles to you happy Sunday and the sun is shining

Hi Bridget,

 

Very very interesting your advice you have given to me this morning.

 

have noted them all down and will do some research as no doubt when i start visiting my clinics in the future the drugs you mentioned will arise in discussions and i will at least understand faster .

 

I havent yet started a GIC clinic as at this stage just with my GP and started more gender therapy.   You have written previously in your messages that there is a long waiting list for the London GIC ? and to enquirire with the Transgender clinic which is more costly but cuts waiting time down to start my journey........  so i will enquire there also.

 

So if ok still i would like to ask more questions as you have experienced already and now further down your road to freedom away from man and now a woman. Envy you but i feel so happy for you being your real true self.... one day i hope for myself.

 

Fashion and make up ?..... have studied these for years but not much opportunity to. Youtube and magazines my main source but also quitely watching my wife apply hers, picks her clothes which in my mind i have fun but immense frustration in would i have that image, look, colour and so much more. I still have to be careful.   But i have a range of summer and winter ideas and desires what to wear. Would like to know yours.

 

I can only imagine the though changes in your mind when your HRT commenced and to date.....a roller coaster of emotions. Now you are a woman i would like to hear more about the contrast in feelings and wants/hobbies since you were once a man.

 

Warm cuddles to you also Bridget and have a wonderful relaxed sunday pampering yourself.  I will later bathing in scent of rose in a hot bath dreaming girl thoughts.

 

Love to you

Sarah x

Hey Sarah,

 

My genitals are much smaller and do not work sexually. Neither do I mind. But, they can still bring on dysphoria. Emotionally is maybe a bigger joy than anything physical. I mean I love my much desired A-cup breasts, but I feel like a female and emotionally act as one. The two most noticeable are I cry more, but they are appropriate to my mood. But, the most strongly felt one is my intuition. It has served me well. I think everyone has them, only women gives themselves the ability to pay attention to them.

 

All the best, Stephie

      Hi, Billie.   There is no gradual way to come out to someone.  About the only way is just to tell them.     The only family I had to tell were my two brothers.  Since we are spread all across the country, email was the most practical way to do it.  The advantage of email, or any written medium, is that you can take the time to refine your wording and explanation.     Even when telling someone in person, some people find that putting it in a letter avoids getting tongue-tied.  It may seem a bit odd, "Cous, here's letter I'd like you to read.  We'll talk once you've read it", but if it helps get the subject on the table, go for it.  Of course, if you feel okay with just saying it out loud, that is usually the best way.   The best time to do it is when there are no other tensions between you.  Generally, sooner is better than later.   However you do it, good luck!  I hope it goes well.

      Hi, So I am genderfluid and was wondering how other people have come out to their wider family such as grandparents or cousins. I would like to be called my chosen name Billie and they/them pronouns but I'm not sure if I should make it a big thing and explain, or just kinda say please call me Billie, I'm nonbinary so use they/them pronouns as it is easier and less vulnerable I think, but it also seems inconsiderate as they probably care about and I hope they would be interested as to how I feel. Also is there ever a good time/way to do it? I would love your guys opinion on this.

      Two different professional makeup looks for me here at the Keystone Conference.   This was from Thursday - my first professional makeup session.   https://www.transgenderpulse.com/forums/index.php?/gallery/image/15476-img_9646jpeg/     For tonight's Gala.   https://www.transgenderpulse.com/forums/index.php?/gallery/image/15477-img_9675jpeg/

      The silence from most Democrats since Jan 20th unfortunately has made this clear.

Jason Woolfhard decried trans girls as “males that want to beat up on girls and our women.”"   This (“males that want to beat up on girls") is so twisted. The Democrats are not our friends.

      I always love your look, Ivy!   I'm sitting in a hotel room waiting for my nails to dry before putting on my dress for tonight's Gala. I had my makeup done by a professional so now I'm trying not to screw it up while I'm dressing. lol    I head home tomorrow and will post a picture when I get home and can download it to the computer.

      I am in the minority, i have made that very clear, trying to understand is not a debate it is what it is, that is to say, I do not understand   I am not sure of why labels are needed, remember i come from a time, when all i was seeking was body re alignment, I did not ask for pro nouns, i had never heard of gender fluid, i am not part of a pride or flag, i am just an ordinary woman trying to blend in with the other girls around me, when i am roped in and asked for my pro noun, when all i was ever told was to blend in flies in the face of all that i have gone through   no, neither is the situation we are now in or rather those that are Transgender, in America at least the whole concept is being eradicated. Because i went under the umbrella of mental illness treatable by a process, it is very different now, the very word Transgender seems to mean a whole range of things and sadly Transsexuals have been caught up in this mess. Lets try another way, there are no medications that say trans patients take this dosage, certainly there was no transgender hospitals there is no transgender ward in a hospital, everything is classed as off label, Surgeries are done by Urologists, nothing exists but then.... does it? well it must do, but wait i don't see it, well thats because it all blends in seamless, there is no noise because there is nothing to see. How would you feel if you are waiting for a scan, a nurse looks up over her computer and said, I can see sensitive information about you, and then grins, how would you feel take into account that the scan was nothing to do with why i was there and you are then confronted, have you had the op? you know, snip? grining whilst it saying it? then, whats your prefered pro noun, I begged the nurse to stop i said that she was upsetting me, and that it was nothing to do with why i was there, i felt violated something well hidden out on a computer screen to be lobbed back at me.

      For me, if I'm totally honest, it's fear, fear of letting people down. My son sees me as the perfect dad, my mum as the perfect son, the irony being that they see me as this in large part because of my inner dialogue, the contrast between my outward appearance and my character, I am and have always been very different on the inside. Psychologically, I have never been attached to notions of masculinity, needing to judge myself against accepted standards. The very traits people like about me are feminine in nature, yet I'm worried that when they know, they will feel let down and disillusioned. I took on my son at 5 years old, his dad having walked out on him and his mother. I was not like any of the men he knew before then, he sees me as an Aragorn type figure, tough yet sensitive, emotionally intelligent and resilient. I know this because we've spoken about it before, he says I showed him how to be a good man, he's 26 now. As you can see, I think it's understandable how terrifying it is to think about how my reality may effect him. The saving grace is that my wife mentioned it in passing one time, cleverly dropping into a conversation, how would he feel if she or I were actually the opposite gender, to which he replied he would understand. I would expect him to say this in the abstract, it's how we raised him, however, in the real world I just don't know. It's absolutely terrifying for me and the only thing keeping me from living the life I know I should be living.  The same situation with my mum, she has always been so incredibly proud of me, I'm torn between being myself and being the person people think I am, it sounds silly I know, but to me, it's a constant thought.

      Best Tongue Twister? Try this one: "Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of un-sifted thistles, thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb. Now If Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a thimble of unsifted thistles, thrusts three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb, how many thistles could thou thrust through the thick of thy thumb, in sifting a sieve full of un-sifted thistles? Success to the successful thistle sifter!

      Thanks for that     Of course, it's fine to ask questions, however...     it may appear we do because...     a debate implies there are opposite sides, each trying to convince the other that they're right. And perhaps I am not understanding your communication style, but it seems you are indeed debating over defending that your personal experience and beliefs - that those across the transgender spectrum are noisemakers who have created a "cottage industry" because we want labels to feel special and in so-doing are threatening the lives of binary transexuals - are right and others are wrong. Your experience is valid. There's no question about that. And your beliefs are too; they are your own. But no one's personal experience and beliefs define THE truth. So, instead of debating who's right and who's wrong, we can share and learn to empathize with each other. We can listen to and validate experiences and perspectives. One does not need others to agree with them for their experience and beliefs to be valid. So, when the debate sounds like this: "You're not really valid, don't you think? Don't you agree that you should quit saying you are who you think you are and insisting on visibility and dignity because it's a threat to my well-being? Reply." then it's neither productive nor healthy.      Thanks very much for this. This is very clear and I understand where you're coming from and feel for you even though it's not my personal experience. I understand why it's a sad and uncertain time for you. I think it's beautiful that you have gained a clearer perspective on your own identity, and thereby helped others to understand yours. We who do identify as transgender desire the same. It's clear you feel hurt by the transgender population. Likewise, transgender people's desire for visibility, dignity, and rights were never meant to undermine your safety and existence. My hope for all of us is existence with fulfillment, love, and peace. And that may not be reflected in our external circumstances because no one on earth has ever led a life free of challenges. So, that calmness and steadiness comes from within. And that's a lifelong pursuit. Can we turn away from blame and use that energy to pursue goodwill? Goodwill for all. That's the ultimate challenge - to see the humanity in all and to simply deal with the practical reality in front of us.

      It sounds like getting back in is the issue.  It will still be handy to have it if you aren't planning on coming back.  Hopefully it doesn't get that bad, but it is good to be prepared.
