Castration is more than birth control. It is life control.
Questions I Am Often Asked About My Castration
Castration is more than birth control. It is life control.
Castration is a very difficult topic to find information about. Most transgenderists and transsexuals are either already on hormones when they obtain a separate castration procedure, or receive their castration only as a part of their SRS, which means that the effects of hormones will have already caused many effects of castration. Non-transgendered men who receive castration usually keep silent about what they have done, and therefore they rarely report on the effects they experience.
I took a more unusual approach to my gender issues. The very first thing I did was to have Dr. Spector remove my testicles. After I had my castration surgery, I did not take any kind of hormone replacement therapy for more than two years, which means that I have experienced the unmasked effects of castration. Many non-transgendered persons (as well as some TGs and TSs) have asked me in E-Mail and the alt.eunuchs.questions newsgroup about my experiences concerning the effects of my castration.
In the days before I obtained my castration I wished there was more information available about it. I have written these pages to address frequently (and some less frequently) asked questions to provide this information for anybody considering castration, whether or not they are transgendered.
Please keep in mind that my experiences are only my own. Your mileage may vary. Each person is an individual with unique identities, feelings, and situations. You may experience some things that I did not experience, and you may not experience everything that I have experienced. Your feelings about castration and its effects may be very different from mine, especially if you are not transgendered. I will mention the experiences I have heard from others, because I would be amiss to ignore those who feel differently or have experienced effects that were different from mine, but the focus of my FAQ is on my own personal experiences. I do hope that you find this information very helpful.

閹割是一個非常困難的專題找到有關。最transgenderists和變性人都已經在激素當他們獲得一個單獨的閹割程序，或接受他們的閹割僅作為部分安全氣囊，這意味著將影響激素已經造成了許多影響去勢。非變性男子誰接受閹割通常保持沉默，他們做什麼，因此他們很少報告的影響，他們的經驗。
我更不尋常的辦法，我的性別問題。的第一件事是要刪除我的博士斯派克特睾丸。之後，我有我的閹割手術，我沒有採取任何形式的激素替代療法超過兩年，這意味著我已經經歷了揭露影響去勢。許多非變性人（以及一些蔗糖和TSS ）曾經問我的電子郵件和alt.eunuchs.questions新聞的經驗對我的影響我的閹割。
在幾天之前，我得到我的閹割我希望有更多的資料了。我已經寫這些網頁，以解決經常（和一些不經常）問的問題提供此信息的人考慮閹割，不論它們是否是變性。
請記住，我的經驗是只有我自己。您的里程可能會有所不同。每個人是個人的獨特身份，情感，和情況。您可能會遇到一些事情，我沒有經驗，您可能沒有經驗，我都經歷過。你對閹割和其影響可能是非常不同的地雷，尤其是如果您不是變性。我將提到的經驗我聽到別人，因為我將不對勁忽視這些誰卻有不同的或有經驗的影響是不同的地雷，但我的重點問題是我個人的經驗。我希望您發現此信息非常有用。

My Spector Experience I have described not only my castration experience with Dr. Spector in April 1999, but my feelings and other things I went through during my one week in Spector's neighborhood.
Is Castration Right For Me? Other factors considered How does one tell if castration is right for them? Is there any temporary way to try castration on for size? Will castration just reduce my sex drive, or will I lose all of it? What about those who are preoccupied more with the castration method than the life after? If someone has a castration fetish, does that mean castration is wrong for them? What about a wife of family member that might oppose castration? If someone has been castrated, could anyone else ever figure it out? Here I address some of the issues I most frequently encounter in E-Mail, mailing lists, and message boards.
Castration Safety The only safe and economical way to be castrated is by a trained and licensed medical professional. Not only are do-it-yourself and non-professional methods of castration dangerous, they won't even save you money. If orchiectomy would benefit your life, please obtain it safely and intelligently.
These three pages discuss issues specifically for transsexuals and the transgendered:
Orchiectomy for Transsexuals Transsexuals and transgendered persons have orchiectomy issues which are unique to their own situation. Here I wrote about the advantages we have from this surgery, as well as some of our issues pertaining to castration and our transition process.

Changing Legal Documents After Orchiectomy? Unfortunately, I have found that orchiectomy alone has not been very helpful in changing my documents such as drivers licenses, birth certificate, or Social Security record. Changing the sex on most documents will have to wait until after SRS.
Orchiectomy OK Before SRS? OK, so I needed a skin graft taken from my tummy for adequate SRS results, and I have a permanent scar line. So now how do I feel about having had an orchiectomy years before SRS? You might be surprised that I have no regrets about my orchiectomy and would even do it all over again.
