Option 1: YES
votes: 16
Option 2: NO
votes: 2
Option 3: UNDECIDED
votes: 4
Reasons being health, financial, or any other reason
No,
being binary myself, their is still something about that area that SCREAMS penis OR vagina.
But.
It would be very interesting, to see the results of the none-binary on this.
A thousand times yes. I go balls out in 6 weeks. SRS next year if needed.
I'm having GRS so no, but if I wasn't; yes. It is also the healthy way to go as far as medication is concerned.

So true. I'm sure my liver has taken quite the beating over the last 30 years and I need to take as few things as possible now. I have wine that won't be ready to drink for 20 years and I would sort of like to enjoy it.
Balls out!

We should make a date to share a glass; we may be old by then - but we will be fabulous!! :-*
Don't like what spiro did to my body. I've been off it for a week and a half now, and although I hate all the T in my system, I feel a lot better not to be dizzy all the time, dried out, etc.
OK, I call myself non-binary and I voted undecided. Despite being 61 years old I am not really sure where I am going. If more transition is in store and I do well with E, then it would be yes - but those are too many unknowns at this point. If on the other hand there is not going to be much transition (I really have to figure out exactly who it is that I am) or E doesn't do well for me then I will need some T to be healthy and I would rather it were natural, so that would be no.
So, non-binary is not equal to being very decided....

I couldn't handle Spiro at all, that dizziness was bad enough that I nearly passed out on several occasions, which is ultra dangerous considering my job. I don't care if I have to sneak into India itself to get my Bicalutamide, I am not going back to Spiro.
As to the main point, sure if I couldn't get SRS than I would like to get an orchie, I mean at least with the T factories out, I can feel closer to myself and not have to take so many pills everyday. I am not even sure what the long term repercussions of taking medications like Bicaluatmide is, because it is meant for prostate cancer not a long term antiandrogen so the information just isn't really out there. I want to live a long fulfilling life as a woman, and if SRS wasn't an option for some terrible reason I would be closer to that goal with castration than without.
