Who hasn't thought about it at least once, I mean really. I wonder why the prescriptions didn't ease her pain enough to keep her from mutilating herself. The fact that she went from thinking to actually mutilating herself, while showing desperation, shows something else too. I'm inclined to think there may be more going on. Or, who knows, maybe the clinic is just really conservative, I can't translate the article to find out.

I like her hair though  ;) I'm always trying to do that naturally pretty kind of look but always end up looking mangey and wild-eyed.

OK I would like to read the article, but I don't read Norwegian.  How do you translate the article.

Thank you Flan.  It was an interesting article, but they did not say what other issues she has.

I don't blame her a bit.  I'd probably do the same thing. This is why the SOC needs to be thrown out.  If you don't provide people who are able to consent with safe ways to transition, they will find a way to do it on their own.

Sadly it's not that uncommon but not very common (Mmm
There are a number of articles in the medical press about people either presenting at ED with their testicles self mutilated or of castrating themselves and calling an ambulance.

There was concern a while back that some SM clubs or rather private clubs were willing to castrate people and TGs were getting involved.

It's very sad. I tried but the pain stopped me (I was very drunk). I know others have as well.

Why oh why can't 'normal' people see.

Denying her help because she is not perfectly healthy is endangering her health. It was just proven by this drastic measure. Too bad. They should have listened.  This sort of self improvement is not highly recommended. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!
