The search for genital justice... - Exerpts from a recent letter
Submitted by Petra on Wed, 08/19/2009 - 4:15pmHello <3
I am writing to request a referral to a University Physicians Network provider for gender reassignment surgery.
I am a transsexual woman who has been on hormone replacement therapy since June of 2005. I have been performing the "inguinal tuck" (storage of the gonads within the inguinal canals) daily since early in 1999. My physical anatomy has gradually changed to almost completely resemble the exterior of a natal female's body when I am properly tucked, but for several reasons, I require further medical intervention to promote my long term physical health.
First Post-T Doctor's Appointment
Submitted by Ryan on Fri, 06/27/2008 - 8:44pmToday was my first appointment with Dr. G since beginning testosterone. I reported changes which basically boiled down to genital growth, extremely high sex drive, and the power fluctuations previously mentioned. I brought up the issue of spotting and she is sending me for a pelvic ultrasound. Normally, I wouldn't think anything of this but because of family history of ovarian cancer, Dr. G wants to play it safe. I am curious in finding out how I could be spotting after having an endometrial ablation in 2004.
