A member asked:
What to do if i was given parental consent, is it possible for someone who is d.m.a.b, trans-gendered and under the age of 18 to get a bi-lateral orchiectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but: The transition from one gender to another involves not only the physical changes but also psychological evaluations. Mostly there is a period of time in which you will be given hormone treatment and live as the desire gender to determine if the final step is appropriate.
