While I'm pretty sure this goes without saying ... we're here for you ... whatever you decide ...

Indeed River! Knightbird, it is important to keep in mind the difference between sexual orientation and gender identity. They are completely different and not typically connected or related.

All the best, JJ

What if I went a different route? What if I found an antidepressant that had a side effect of being deleterious to libido? Maybe that would be a good alternative to chemical castration, in that it would free me of the bad feelings that accompany lustful thoughts without also causing a bunch of ...

I, like you, tend to analyse the crap out of everything. Which, don't get me wrong, can be a good thing. Especially when it comes to something as life-altering as castration.

I also, have been waging a battle with depression. I know what it's like to not be able to get out of bed, not be able to ...

Kudos to you for your persistence with the medical community!

It is an imperative to be or have a patient advocate with today's medical community. Many medical professionals have inherited from their ancestors a belief that they are infallible and only they can know what is in the patients best ...

i look at how many lived thru the first gulf war and know my suffering was worth it



Touche', my friend.

Sometimes, in my frustration and zeal on hearing of one persons tribulations, I forget to stand back and view the story the big picture has to tell. I applaud you for your ability to do ...

The good doesn't seem to naturally mold us as much as the bad.

It takes a concerted effort to let the good experiences influence us more than the bad experiences.



I think it may be part human nature to focus on the negative in an effort to avoid those scenarios in the future. I suspect it was ...

i been climeing up and out for almost 20 years 1 year in the hospital the rest out in the world i never give up never give in and never quit just the way it is .



Welcome! This is a wonderful group.

It breaks my heart to think of what human beings are capable of doing to one another. You are a ...

6) Like you said you will probably end up in psychiatric evaluation. It is a lot better if you already have a psychiatrist that already knows the full reasoning behind your obsession. Then when you go to the hospital then can bring that person in, rather than going through the whole "is he a ...

They walk the thin veil between man and woman. They can speak for both sides....mediate, if you will. Help them understand each other.

That's the way they (and very soon we) have been - and should be treated.



Touche'!

We can only pray ... actually ... no ... we can work to change the worlds ...

Just to clarify, Phil is not gay.

Yes, we are each other's soulmate. We complete and truly love each other for the people we are, not our gender or lack thereof. What we have is pure and unconditional;

We will get through this and the other challenges we may face in life no matter the results ...

There's nothing wrong with a little variety. If associates and friends are good with it, then go for it and enjoy.

Yet another newbie here.

Beginning to deal with Phibber McGhee's Closet.

I don't know about everyone else, but when my folks would tell me to clean my room everything would get thrown into the closet. I do the same thing with emotional and psychological things. This works for a time, at least ...

Wow!

I'm practically speechless, which is actually rare. Your journey is one from which we can all gleen a nugget of wisdom. Thank you for your willingness to put yourself out there and share.

Sorry, not my intention to argue for or against. Just passing what little I know about it.

River,


PS I also have a rather large and unsightly foreskin, which I definitely WOULD like to have removed (or modded at least) sooner than later. 22 years with a foreskin is 22 years too many, as anyone who has had one can tell you😄 Circumcision seems like a relatively easy procedure to open up ...
