Hello,
I’m a male, 28 years old, who has been interested in gender nullification since early college- I’ve just never been comfortable having male anatomy between my legs or had the sexual masculinity of other men despite otherwise being masculine. I’ve come to point where I’m looking to finally try to get an orchiectomy and ideally a penectomy with sensation preservation + TRT.
It’s my understanding WPATH now recognizes eunuchs and surgical interventions as treatment. I’m just not confident there’s many providers who are comfortable dealing with this.
If anyone has been through this, please DM me. I have a lot of questions about the best way to go about this and your experience with the changes.
I appreciate the help!

Re: First Time Poster - Aspiring Eunuch - Help!
Welcome to the forums, glad to see you here.
I'm actually one of the first people to go through the WPATH SOCv8 process to get an orchiectomy and scrotectomy, so I'm quite familiar with the process...
One of the first things I'd do is go to the WPATH website and download a copy of the SOCv8 https://wpath.org/publications/soc8/ It is available in other languages, not sure if Hebrew is on the list or not. I recommend reading all of it, paying particular attention to the chapters on Eunuchs and Mental Health. One of the things the process requires is convincing the doctors and shrinks that you are sincere in your desire, and fully and totally understand all of the risks and consequences involved.
In many ways I'd compare it to a job interview, where HOW you answer is almost more important than what you say, and knowing the SOC helps you know what sorts of things they are going to ask, and the sorts of things they will be looking for in the way of answers.... When you start talking and quoting the SOC It also tells them that you have "done your homework" I'd also get very good understanding of all the effects of surgery and be able to discuss them in detail....
What I'm not sure about is what the options are in Israel for any sort of trans-gender care, I'd try a search for clinics and reach out to them. I just did a quick one and most of the references were in Hebrew, but they mentioned https://eng.sheba.co.il/Gender-Reassignment-Clinic multiple times and at least one said they did all sorts of top and bottom surgery.... I'd suggest starting there unless you find a better choice. I will say that I was very pleasantly surprised at how open and accepting the clinic I went to in the US was, so don't be afraid to call them.

The other option is to save up some money, fly to San Diego, hop across the border to Dr. Aguilar's clinic in Tijuana, and get whatever procedure you desire. Prices are reasonable and you can bypass the lengthy SOC-8 process altogether. Good luck!
