Hi,

after more than 6 years of struggle with therapists, health insurance and the german health system in whole I was now finally able to schedule the long desired nullification. The surgery will be on march 24th. I'm really happy that the surgery is now going to happen within short time. My feelings are currently a bit mixed, some kind of surprise about the sudden progress and also some kind of difficulty to believe it really happens now finally.

But in whole I'm really, really, really extremely happy that I'm now very close to becoming a nullo!

Congratulations on getting your date. I remember how excited I was and now it's over and I'm feeling great. I'm very happy here, more so than I expected. I wish you much success. Keep us informed with your progress.

Great news! Congratulations. Please keep us up to date.

I'm very happy for you. And you'll be doing at the same age I did.

Good luck, and keep us informed as your date approaches.

Congratulations on your success from sticking with it.

Keep us posted on your progress as we care

Great news to start the new year with.

Congratulations.

Thanks for your kind words! I'll give an update when there is some news. Currently I can only add that I will continue taking additional T (I already get some additional T now as my natural T levels are below normal range) an that I plan to keep some of the glans to be placed under the skin.

And yes, I'm really excited about it. It's a very big step in my life. But all your positive experiences give me confidence that I'll be also happy after the surgery.

Congratulations that is so exciting!!

Congratulations!

Hope it all goes well for you, and that you heal well.

Keep us informed how it all goes.

Thinking of you!

It's great to see that elective nullification and other surgerys are available to non binary people

That's only half of the truth. Yes, therapists and surgeons are (relatively) open to non binary people, but the german public health insurance isn't allowed to pay for this kind of gender reassignment surgery. They only cover mtf and ftm. That means I have to pay by myself.

Here in the States some insurance will cover these procedures .

Here's an little update. Keep your fingers crossed. It is only about 4 weeks until the operation. Unfortunately, I still don't know if I have to postpone it because the financial part has not yet been secured. Hopefully I can manage that during next week.

Congrats and good luck, hope you end up how you want.

Hope your finances go through and then it will be all over. I'm jealous I want it done but I don't think I could get a councilor to go along with it.

Lets hope it all comes together for you.

All the best

Thanks a lot!

I'm very happy at the moment, as I managed to fix the financial issues. This means that my parts down there will most likely be gone in exactly 3 weeks.

Why do you think so? There have been several guys in the US during the last few years who have had been able to get the necessary letters.

Happy that you got thing worked out and you will be able to become the person the you have wanted to be.

Because I have mental health issues that are under control with medications.

Apologizes if this question is too "nosey", I don't mean it to be. But is someone in control of your finances (ie: a payee) or have power of attorney over you? I ask these questions because I have a couple mental health issues myself. I have Aspergers, a high-functioning form of Autism, depression, and anxiety. I take meds, I see a shrink, I see a therapist, and I have no issues doing whatever I want do or with my body.

If no one is in control of your finances or have power of attorney over you and you are taking your meds (like I do daily), then you are of sound mind and perfectly able to make decisions regarding yourself and your body...and what you may or may not want on it (if you catch my drift).

Didnt know this was possible in germany. How much does it cost here? Would like to see the result. Probably not a very common surgery here.

You're right, the surgery is not very common here. But there are options coming up which follow a very similar path as the established ones for mtf and ftm transgender. I won't be the first german nullo, but it looks like I will be the first one in Germany who gets this kind of surgery based on this quite new way. The costs will be approximately 11000 EUR which I unfortunately have to pay by myself, as the public health insurance still is only allowed to pay for binary

There won't be any pictures of the result. Once I post them online, there will be a great number of unauthorized copies, and I don't want that. The only way to avoid that is not posting.

11000 is less than I payed for both surgeries (only cometic revision after penectomy in germany) so if the result is good it seems to be a good option.
