Got a call from a TS (MTF) friend yesterday. She told me she'd gotten herself castrated.

That's one "odd" bit" of news to be handled. I know it's a big step for her and that she's happy to be one step farther on the way to her goal.

But at the same time, it feels sort of *weird* to hear it.

Not even close to TMI. Quite fascinating actually. I tried to do a report in HS on the M-F trasistion for biology class. I found very little literature on the subject at the time.

Gee. Wonder how you'd react to the "slide show" someone local has. She's got a lot of friends in the TV/TG/TS community locally and she got permission to take photos of the surgery of a couple of folks.

Very interesting, though a lot of guys who were at the viewing I was at got a bit green when they saw the pics of stuff like "skininning" the penis, and dissecting out the erectile tissues.

That kind of thing never really squicked me. I'd be fascinated by something lke that. I used to watch the surgery shows on Discovery Health when we had sattelite. :)

Didn't bother me either. Though that's at least partly because I have a fair number of fantasies involving castration and "extreme genital modification".

But then again, they aren't the sort of fantasies I'd try in reality. Well, not unless there was a medical reason to remove things. :-)
