Susan's Place Transgender Resources

basically I've been having health problems associated with my hormone blockers. T was increasing so they increase the blockers, I lost all my stamina on the higher dose running 20 meters felt like I ran a kilometre. No health problems detected it's simply my choice...
Lower dose + Some T messing up your development
Or
High dose + feeling like an obese 55 year old alcoholic.


I suggested an orchi I have £1000 available the money and time off ahead why not? Well no I'm simply just not allowed ¬.¬

A dog or a convicted paedophile has more rights than I do and can often get this free of charge to them! IM WILLING TO PAY!
Because here in the UK I'm apparently not qualified to know what's in my own best interests despite me having to explain this ->-bleeped-<- to medical professionals and I'm forbidden from choosing what's in my body and what isn't

For point of compairison
It's an entirely reasonable thing to spend £10,000 to inject the deadly neurotoxin botulism into your face have half of it cut off and the remaining half pulled so tight that you can play golf on it. THAT'S DIFFERENT ITS BEAUTIFUL!

But you wanna get your damaged non-functional unused testis cut off??! You've gone way too far this time!!
What MAN would want to get his nuts cut off.

Most medical professionals will not remove healthy tissue.  But keep searching. There are doctors who will perform a Orchidectomy.  I have done it, so has Laura and Flan.  Here in the States, certain doctors will do it if you have two letters of recommendation.

You might have to go out of country to get it done.

This all goes back to the historical concept of "mayhem".
Mayhem is damaging or removing a body part that would make someone incapable of military service.
This includes orchiectomy.

Back in the early days of transsexual surgery most surgeons were intimidated from operating on these grounds.

Question: how can an orchiectomy disable someone from being able from going to combat?

The root of mayhem is making somebody unfit for military service, i.e. damaging the King's property.
This has expanded to any bodily harm, including removing healthy tissue.
I'm not a lawyer.

The legal and ethical questions of removing healthy tissue stymied surgeons for a long time.

Problem with this is that, No Man would ever want to do that and they are right in that sense.  However, the problem is you are a female and they need to be informed of it, Bluntly.

Go back and say, that others are allowed to do what they want with their bodies, face lifts, breast implants or whatever to improve their quality of life.  They are over the age of 18 and are a legally an adult and do not need the consent of others to go ahead and have these surgeries, so what not me?.  You cannot dictate to me what I can or cannot do with my body.   I want this done and I want you to help me, if not then could you tell me who can?".  If that is not possible then consider going outside of the NHS.

I suppose what I am trying to say is "Do Not Take NO" for an answer.

Take care and remember your dream will come true.

Kind regards

Hi Pebbles

I do not know if you have read this post (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,78647.0.html), which was started by Naturally Blonde.  It has a similar theme in regards to hormone problems and the problems with the NHS.  In additon Chrissty mentions in one of her posts a very potent solution, which I have highlighted for you, where she says:

Anybody with hormone deficiency is a priority case, and I know the NHS patient choice rules have changed in the last few years.

I also know the NHS is unbelievably frustrating, but so often you can ask the same question several times than on the 5th attempt get the different answer you need.

My view would be to put your case together for hormone deficiency, demand treatment, if necessary get a formal refusal, then make a formal complaint. Worry about the type of HRT secondary.

So my suggestion would also be, put together your hormone problems and demand treatment, if necessary get a formal refusal, then make a formal complaint.  Your health and well being is the most important thing for you, Northern Jane and I have made comments in relation to this here (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,78647.20.html) and the importance of taking the right medication or surgical solution that is necessary to live a healthy and productive life.

I hope this helps you in solving your immediate problem.

Take care and all the best.

Kind regards

That's so ridiculous. The fact is that on a transwoman it is NOT healthy tissue. If anything is "mayhem" it's the mayhem that the poison factories wreak on our bodies.

pebbles, good friend of mine had a "orchi" about 2 months ago, don't think it's wise as she seems to be now experiencing fatigue all the time as well (due to low/no T?) I on the other hand have been taking Bicalutamide (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicalutamide) (Calutide generic Casodex) 4 well over a year now and Keri still cannot believe how my testes have completely receded, disappeared from sight with no expensive surgeries at all!

As a bonus "function" is not severely affected (no activity upon brain) so for anyone who even remotely considers having SRS one day I consider casodex the best intermediate option over an unnecessary "orchi" any day!

Casodex is a true, pure nonsteroidal T/DHT blocker that otherwise does not inhibit/reduce natural production at all and as a matter of fact your own body will eventually increase E production on its own to counter the excess free, non-binding T that nobody wants (but needs regardless?)
