After being on HRT for a year and a half, and knowing that full and permanent transition was the path I wanted to continue along. I decided take the first step towards "hard" transition by having and Orchiectomy. This was great as a "warm up" to full SRS, which I am still planning to have. I LOVED the feeling of being rid of those "stones". If for no other reason than I didnt like the idea of being on Spiro long term. But even more so was just how much more feminine that it makes me feel.
