How long until testicular atrophy is irreversible?
  • From personal experience: if you stop HRT you turn back into a pumpkin.

    I stopped after a couple years on hormones and pretty much everything reverted (except breast growth).[EDIT: Over the course of a year or so,] Body and facial hair came back in full force (on face only where it had been lasered, but electrolysis'd portions remained bare). Hair on my head resumed its retreat. My member grew back to normal size and I started producing sperm (didn't test for motility). Quality of orgasms changed, scent changed, and probably a bunch of other stuff I'm forgetting. Dysphoria massively increased.

    Luckily a while later I went back on hormones and everything sorted itself out. I got an orchiectomy to ensure this never happens again, highly recommend it. Quick, simple surgery with almost no recovery time, that doesn't impact eligibility for GRS later on.

    [EDIT]: All that happened after being off HRT for a year or two. If you just end up going off titty skittles for a couple months, you're probably fine. Wanted to clarify.

  • Funny how this started out as “protect the children, who are too young to make permanent decisions,” which is not prima facie absurd, and then, once they pushed that through, became “no taxpayer money for trans surgeries,” which is much less defensible, but still may seem reasonable to many voters. I wonder where they are going with this.

    Maybe some slopes are indeed slippery.
