This is a supportive community for all transfeminine or questioning people. Anyone is welcome to participate in this community but disrupting the safety of this space for trans feminine people is unacceptable and will result in moderator action.

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

You can just tell your doctor that you are socially transitioned, they won't know. Lying to gatekeeping doctors is morally good, just don't lie about any actual health related things unless you really know what you're doing.

I always tell doctors I'm a trans woman, even though I'm nonbinary, since doctors frequently refuse to give trans healthcare to nonbinary people and my physical transition goals mostly align with trans women's

Thanks, I will definitely consider it. I'm not sure if I should try to hold out since down the line I want a vaginoplasty, but if it gets worse I'll just have them do the orchi right away.

It's so awful how the medical system invalidates nonbinary people :/
