Typical of peeps that mix "sexual issues" with gender identity.  What's the point of going through this irreversible surgery if peeps want to keep part of the male genitalia? this person must have paid a lot of money to get "her" wishes.  I dont see how it could be done without a savings account with lots of zeros and from a surgeon that is well respected in the community. Yucky!

Jolly good deduction there Blanch

If mine were to go in a tragic accident/ drunken bet...I think I would turn them into tassels for my coat.

I think they have to maintain a certain tempature to stay alive, within 1-2 years I think they would be hardened little shrivled things inside her. quite strange,

Not true, sorry. The temperature only effects the production of sperm. The other functions will remain intact as long they receive proper blood flow. How sensitive they would be depends on how much nerve tissue remained attached when the testes were moved and the amount of regrowth in the new location.

Which reminds me, don't forget there's going to be another person on top of you sometimes and their body weight may be pressing down on those things or possibly even bumping against them.   I don't care what anybody says.  It has to be painful.

Yucky yucky the more I think of it the more disturbing it gets just imagining it. I went for this because I wanted to be as 100% female as a good surgeon could make it happen. Why on Earth would one want to keep those things?

Cindy

I suppose they'd be worth keeping if you could dry them out and carve them into a pair of dice.  Then, they'd at least be useful and you could just play with them anywhere you go without being yelled at.

"Hee, hee, hee," Leave it up to you to find a preferable place to put those things where they can be of better use.

Typical of someone who has a high probability of regretting GRS too.

Ah ha ha! Rebis, you are so funny. always thinking ahead.

i don't see why we can't accept this as an alternative lifestyle. yes, it's hard to think of her as a girl, but since she presents herself as one, i must assume she wants to be referred to as "miss." though i don't want them, i still have mine, and they never stopped me from being girly. you know?

so, as my Chinese friend says, "reave a girl arone!"

alright! ok, i'm going...

Gender identity isn't the be all and end all of a persons existence.  Jeeze, are you so wrapped up in this one issue that you can't balance it out with other concerns?  I don't see how keeping the testicles negates any of the other advantages of SRS.  If that's the only thing on your mind then why not just have an orchidectomy?

I find the suggestion that thinking outside the box and making choices that balance up all of ones different concerns would have a higher regret rate than blindly following a 'one size fits all' treatment path rather amusing.

I suspect the real issue here is people are worried about being lumped into the same category as 'weirdos like that'.  awww

For your information.  I don't believe in anything "outside" the box.  Nice to meet you too!

I assume then that to believe in yourself (as a TS) you simply re-homed to a slightly bigger box?

I have never believed myself as a "TS".  I'm a woman but that's not the topic of the thread now, is it?

My comment on testicles Is my opinion only and no one else's and the darn things reside in another dimension now anyway along with the other apendage.

I agree... This isnt a one size fits all world, in fact personally I can see the advantages to keeping the testicles, they are similar to ovaries, and it would help to gurantee physical pleasure/orgasm in the neo vagina. 

And people can say all day, well sex and pleasure arent important in the choice to have SRS and I agree, but GEE wouldnt it be nice to know a little bit better than a coin toss that, that will still be there, I think thats all this individual was trying to do.

Hmmmm.  Hang them over the rear view mirror of your car.

Just for the record I would never dream of keeping the darn things either.  My sex drive is still pretty high now I am chemically castrated, but feels much nicer than it did with lots of testosterone in my bloodstream. 

For the record, I wouldnt keep those things either. LOL
