I know there's other options but getting a vasectomy isn't as funny. Probably what I'll end up with, unless there's some other reason to ditch them I don't know about yet.

Testicles produce a lot of testosterone. Getting rid of them is the only surefire way to really prevent your T levels from rising to a bad level, assuming you want only E and no T. This is largely anecdotal but a lot of trans women out there do notice a burst of feminization shortly after getting rid of theirs, even if the T levels in your blood remain suppressed through T blockers

lea-think I wondered how much of an issue that would be, I thought when you were taking E they stopped producing T.

But even more feminization....

Testosterone is the dominant hormone. You need androgen blockers or really high doses of Estrogen for it to stop affecting things.

I'm new to this madeline-sadeline I thought taking a big doses of E (monotherapy?) via injection was the best way to go. Now that I'm looking it up I see that doesn't work for everyone madeline-sadeline

So maybe we have gone full circle and the boys really are getting yeeted at some point.

Yes monotherapy can work. I mentioned it. Balls are weird, who wants them around?

yeah all they do for me now is get sore and make me have to take spiro and i always preferred the idea of adopting a child over "biologically" having one and they make it hard to tuck so why the fuck do i have these things in me? get out of me
