It's been about a year and a half for me and for the most part it's been great. I do feel a bit different - darn good most of the time. I don't feel right when my hormone level gets too low and I switched to estrogen 9 months ago and feel great.

If you have any doubts, it's best not to go forward with this. You should try a temporary chemical castration first and then decide where to go from there.

It's been almost a year since I was castrated and for me it was certainly a good thing and wish I could have been done years earlier. I use a ...

I'm looking forward to seeing the replies on this, because it is something that I was interested in knowing as well. I looked at these in the farm supply store and came close to buying one. I did buy a couple of the large bands and played with those and what I found was they tended to pinch the skin ...

I think Barrister's reply sums it up pretty well for me too. While I begin to feel a little tired and more run down if I let my T level get too low, overall it just seems like I feel happier and better overall. It's really very nice. I just can't say enough good things about it at this point.

I've noticed that since I was castrated, my desire for sex is much reduced, even though I am on TRT and my T level is in the normal range. I just don't think about sex very much these days and when I see an attractive woman, I don't have the immediate desire to have sex with her. Even if I ...

One reason you might not see as much discussion about depression on these pages is that many on this forum are on some form of HRT.

Can you travel to a different city? A larger city where more choices are available would probably be preferred.

You can try a different doctor for one thing.

Second, if you are determined this is what you want and have tried all other avenues for a solution to be yourself, then you might continue with another injection and report back to either the same doctor, or perhaps a better choice would be a different ...

I scored a -70 just now.

I also had an appointment with a transgender gender therapist. But my regular therapist is, as far as I know, a CIS female.

Thanks for the welcome, jcat. Like you, I discovered my so-called gender dysphoria seemed to be worse when my T levels were high. Since lowering my T level, I actually feel more manly than I have in a long time. That seems odd, doesn't it, and not the way it should work.

Hi everyone,

This is my first post although I've been reading the archives for a number of years. It's a subject that has interested me for a long time.

I'm middle-aged, married with grown children. I've seen a gender therapist a number of times and she is absolutely convinced that I'm TS ...
