im usually pretty scared of surgical stuff, but ive been thinking about this and realized there would be a lot of benefits.

i would 100% stop producing sperm (while i am on hormones, its never quite 100%) so i can stop worrying about that

i would produce less testosterone which would probably be good

tucking and stuff would become easier / i could more easily wear fem clothing

i have yet to think of any negative effects so...

if any of you have experience with this or anything, please let me know so i can hopefully make an informed decision

Since bottom surgery my T levels are below the normal range for someone with ovaries. Mostly because I'm still taking the same doses as before surgery, and I do plan to adjust them once I'm fully recovered. I've heard of paradoxical increase, but I'm pretty sure its exceedingly uncommon. I've gone through a period of pretty intense feminization since I got surgery, and thats after 8 years of HRT before hand.
