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

      Actually the bill seems to be so thoroughly confusing that I doubt that enforcement is even possible.  It could however incite vigilante style actions.  A false accusation against a "looks challenged" Cis woman is very likely to happen early on.  So what will happen in the case of those situations?  I have a script in mind over the sad average looking daughter of one of the legislators getting tangled into one of those situations.  I don't know whether it would be a comedy or a tragedy at the minute.

      Time to bring a self defense weapon. Looking forward to having a gun on my side.

      I don't know yet. I'm sure there is going to be a big crowd. I also would have to keep up with the kids and probably won't enjoy myself mostly. 
    • Ashley0616
      I can understand that. My Keurig is used for hot water mostly and when my mom comes. I mostly use a regular coffee maker. I have had that for 5 years now. I had a Bunn but it didn't last long. I also have a French press and rarely use that. I would love to get a cappuccino maker but that is for later on. Starbucks is getting expensive. My kids favorite thing there is the cake pops. I found out that Walmart Neighborhood Market has them. Typical me getting off topic. lol

      After many years in denial, I have finally acknowledged my femininity. After quite a long life, so much time has been wasted. Now I feel I am too old to enjoy the freedom I now feel. All I can contribute to those who need to embrace their true gender, be BRAVE and don,t waste time!

      Well, welcome M.A. Several of my now grown kids were involved in theater in school.  And one is now a graphic designer.

      Wow what a busy day today.  Clearly the summer crowd is coming into town.  Doesn’t hurt that we have a PGA event here.  It is limited to 100 players. But the spectators is where the crowd is.   i alone more than doubled my usual sales.     we keep hearing thunderstorms however they are staying just west of us for now. The storms in western Tennessee right now are supposed to be here in the morning.

      Edit: Latest album is called "Drumless". My bad. The name of their tour is Drummer.

      My gen z cousin & her gf were visiting the last few days. We are a very, very small contingent of queer members of our family & we stick together. She and her gf introduced me to G Flip. They recently attended a concert and said it was the best concert ever. They were playing G Flip in the car and I was impressed by the vocals, the lyrics, the influences, and the percussion (G is also a drummer). I love a nonbinary vocalist (not that we get to hear so many...yet...) because the freedom from gender performance shines forth. I could hear influences from many styles of music I loved in the 90s, but all blended together in a joyfully percussive way. G Flip is rad! I would post a link to some tracks or an album, but there are explicit lyrics which would go against community rules - you can easily search youtube yourself if you're interested; their latest album is called "Drummer". But here is a picture of G who is serving us gorgeous nonbinary vintage Axl Rose!

      Welcome, @MAN8791. I relate to this so much. I'm roughly the same age as you, afab & nonbinary. For decades, I beat myself up for being a "broken" girl/woman. And I tried my darndest for many of those years to perform woman successfully. While outwardly I may have seemed "a success", inwardly the effort and dysphoria caused me so much anxiety, panic, and depression that it eventually became unsustainable. For me, the first step was letting go of identifying as "broken". Next, I allowed myself to be however I am. And very rapidly I felt better - in fact, initially I felt ecstatic. The door was open for me to really learn about self-love and therefore love itself.

      Well, the counter space in the kitchenette is pretty Limited. But also cost, and usefulness. I guess she is mostly right, and it isn't really important.

      "The Health and Human Services Grants Regulation (HHS Grants Rule) Final Rule protects LGBTQI+ people by clarifying and reaffirming the prohibition on discrimination on the basis of sex – including sexual orientation and gender identity – in specific health and human services programs, consistent with the Supreme Court decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, 590 U.S. 644 (2020)."   https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2024/04/30/hhs-issues-final-rule-prevent-discrimination-health-and-human-services-grant.html

      Wasn't sure whether to post this in the "uplifting news" or "news" forum. This bill is pro-LGBTQ+, albeit 30 some odd years too late with 100s of thousands of lives lost throughout the AIDS crisis. The upshot is that ol' Ron has actually done some good for the community. That's really...something...although I doubt he sees it that way. And most importantly, greater access to screening and care will save many lives.   https://ncpa.org/newsroom/qam/2024/05/01/floridas-governor-signs-bill-expand-hiv-care
