It bugs me when people piss about “the sterilization of transgender people”.

Lemme tell ya something:

Getting rid of your reproductive organs (ie, the testicles and ovaries) is actually a good thing. Why? Because those produce hormones! And they certainly aren’t the ones you want, so getting rid of those helps in soooo many ways (smaller dosages, less imbalances, etc). While I won’t criticize you for wanting to keep some reproductive capability (though I may raise my eyebrow in some cases), you gotta realize that getting rid of those parts has some HUGE advantages.

Seriously, if it didn’t have the chance to mess up surgery further down the road, I’d be saving up for an orchiectomy. But unfortunately, atrophying skin can screw up construction of other parts…
