But with bottom, if you get the womb etc. however all that works, taken out... don't you have to go on hormone supplements for estrogen? And doesn't it do a pretty hard number on your body? ... more
If you get your ovaries removed, then you have to be on hormone supplements of some kind (you only need estrogen if you're not taking testosterone), but you can have a hysterectomy to get the uterus removed while leaving the ovaries intact. That's what I'm planning on getting, because I want to be as independent from ongoing medical treatment as possible.

I just wanted to mention that the man in China got his penis removed due to Chinese taboos against death and dead body parts, not because the penis itself was defective - similar to the reasons for why many are uncomfortable with stem cell research in the US. I'm really hoping that further attempts can be made in places that don't have such strong cultural factors working against them.

I'm planning on a standard double incision on my chest, but my genitals are staying pretty low-tech for now. Once my cock grows enough I want to get a triangle piercing and stretch it to at least a 0G or so. Maybe someday I'll get a urethral lengthening, but I'm not putting much thought into it yet.

When it comes to future technologies like transplants, I always think "why limit yourself to a human penis?" I can't imagine no one else would desire some scaled-up hemepenes.

I'm scheduled for a Double Incision chest surgery this December with an accompanying lipo for my hips.

I'm with you on the prior post about wanting to remove everything except the ovaries. I'm actually really curious about what functions remain when they're the only ones intact. Is egg production preserved?

Also I share the same hope that technology in this area (stem cells, trans stuff, etc.) can advance independently of people's personal views D:.

i go back and forth on whether i want a phalloplasty, but for now i just try to be ok with what i've got because even if i do decide to get it, i won't be able to for quite a few years yet.

I'm planning to get my top surgery done sometime next year, either in the summer or fall!

Ah, I forgot to mention I'm going with the double incision method, and crossing my fingers that the scars will heal properly.

Yeah me too, I'm actually looking at bottom surgery results right now xD. I may get a meta first then go for phallo afterwards if I feel that's a necessary change.

I'm also torn on this aspect D: I like the contour of DI, but I probably wouldn't be able to deal with the scars I think I'm on the border of peri and DI too so lol I'm in for one hell of a decision :O.

I am not really happy with what doctors can do for bottom half surgery. So I am waiting.

I feel the same, though (it's probably the pessimist in me) I don't think technology is advancing fast enough in this area for me to reap the benefits in my lifetime :\.

I go back and forth on the chest thing... I sort of feel like I am supposed to keep them and they can be fun during sex, but I feel so much better about myself bound, and I want to be able to go shirtless with a flat chest someday.

Downstairs, I will probably have a hysterectomy for medical reasons (T being one of them) but I don't want any other surgery. I'm ok with what I've got now.

Why would you not just get reduced to a male chest?

Nope, you just need a sex hormone. If you take testosterone that is the hormone.

I've had top surgery (peri areolar) and plan on having a full hysto and phalloplasty as soon as possible.

If the bottom surgery worked well, I'd get that in a heartbeat.

I just want top surgery, preferably keyhole.

I think I'm small enough to get it; if not, any other chest removal means would make me happy.

I would considerrrr getting a hysterectomy but am otherwise fine with myself. Like if I had a ton of money laying around and was satisfied in every area of my life, I would consider it, but otherwise I'm fine how I am. Yeah, I get dysphoria over having periods but I'm not like, "Surgery time!" over that

I would consider facial surgery, but not really due to trans* related reasons--- I wouldn't be actively trying to masculinize it--- just make it look more how I want. This is also only if I were financially rolling in money, also, because otherwise I can live with my face.

For top surgery though I'd like go into hoards of debt for, if that's what it took to get it, and can't wait for my first big-paying job to start saving toward it
