The shrinkage varies.  Knowing more than a few trans girls, it seems that those who use the equipment more often get less.  The process of getting to SRS/GCS gives us plenty of time to make inquires and find out just what your preferred surgeon requires.  My orchi was proceeded by most of the same steps; Two psych letters, RLE, etc.  Risks are low but, unavoidable and at some point we are in someone else's hands.  Someone we hopefully can trust.

Wait, you need 2 letters for an orchi? My understand was you had to get a letter from your doctor referring you, not from two psychs. And well I only use it about every 3 weeks, just don't have a reason to touch it otherwise lol.

I don't know about requirements where you are but, that is what I faced in Oregon; Two letters, two different, credentialed Psych folks and i already had 3+ years of RLE
I loved the change in my libido after starting HRT and don't miss being so impacted by testosterone.  What a relief 

Nope, transition has only helped diminish my dysphoria. It's annoying to have to tuck in the meantime, before I can get bottom surgery. But it's much more manageable now than it was.
