im usually pretty scared of surgical stuff, but ive been thinking about this and realized there would be a lot of benefits.

i would 100% stop producing sperm (while i am on hormones, its never quite 100%) so i can stop worrying about that

i would produce less testosterone which would probably be good

tucking and stuff would become easier / i could more easily wear fem clothing

i have yet to think of any negative effects so…

if any of you have experience with this or anything, please let me know so i can hopefully make an informed decision

    When I had my vasectomy - still an egg back then - I already thought that I would prefer to have them removed. Less body hair, more head hair, seemed like a good trade. Looking back at that now I can only chuckle at my eggness.

      As an egg, also though it might be cool to have some sort of medical condition that would let me get them removed without having to explain why I got rid of them. Was totally clueless at the time and for the next decade. The only downside of voluntarily getting them removed would be potentially explaining why I did it. Granted, I don’t think I realized at the time I’d need some sort of sex hormone. Guess one downside is in the case of extreme dystopia or being trapped alone on an island for several years/decades, not being dependent on artificial sex hormones is useful.

        I totally also had these thoughts as an egg. One of the guys I knew that was friends of my brother had testicular cancer and was really messed up about the possibility of having them removed in his 20s… and I was jealous and wished that could happen to me? I didn’t tell anyone because I thought it wasn’t right to feel that way. Took awhile but it all makes sense now lmao 🏳️‍⚧️

        honestly if i was trapped on an island id rather just let my body crumble and die than let my balls masculinize me

          I mean eunuchs are a thing and lived long lives. So live without testes should be possible, even without replacement hormones.
