It's funny to me because while I was in the waiting room before my vasectomy I read through the textbook with the urological techniques in it and looked through all the different vasectomy variants plus the reversal procedure. I've got kind of a medical background so none of it bothers me but the next procedure was orchiectomy and I couldn't make it through the first couple of steps without having to close the book.
Whenever I've encountered someone being trans-skeptical (or whatever the subset of transphobia is where they don't believe in it as a thing) I've always brought up how horrifying the idea of getting your dick and balls cut off is as a cis man. I try to paint a vivid picture and make the guy I'm talking to really imagine someone surgically removing his genitals and think about what it feels like to imagine that. Then I say that trans women imagining that exact same thing is one of their biggest dreams in life. The idea of it makes them incredibly happy and excited, so for them to feel that way is undeniable proof that trans is a real thing.
I always figured that there's a small chance a little bit of bigotry gets chipped away and if not at least I got to make a chud imagine getting his dick and balls removed. These encounters have all occurred before my vasectomy though, and the psychic horror I experienced while briefly going through the first steps of an orchiectomy made me realize that I had to go back and read through it in more detail so that I could really abuse whichever transphobes I run into next.
and I couldn't make it through the first couple of steps without having to close the book.
being really fuckin' weird
Sorry but it makes me cackle whenever I hear of cis men recoiling in terror at genital surgeries, like lol. Idk, I'm the type of person who went and watched videos of both orchiectomies and various vaginoplasties, which is visceral but so fascinating. If whatever viscera is happening is going on for a good purpose I have no ability to worry. Super cool ngl. I should watch some phalloplasty or medioplasty too sometime... Actually I wonder what a nullification looks like surgically, huh.
Lol this brought back a memory of showing a CGI video of an orchiectomy to a friend in high school and him slapping my phone to the ground and breaking the nifty kickstand on the case :(
Wow that's so rude, he didn't even see the real thing! The laserwhatever cutter they use is awesome.
That's kind of what I was getting at. No other medical/surgical stuff bothers me at all but there's something deeply primal about protecting your dangly parts as a cis man that can override a pretty strong dispassion/interest for surgical procedures. I think the only other surgical technique that's ever bothered me is when someone is getting a nose job and the plastic surgeon has a chisel up there and is going to town with the mallet like he's John Henry. That's still an overwhelmingly distant second to even the cursory thought of testicle removal to me.
It's been a fairly convincing argument because any man who can accept that trans people actually want that is generally much more open to accepting that being transgendered is real.
me being transgendered when the doctor makes an incision above the inguinal canal before
Truly the "deeply primal" aspect has cis men treating their giblets as utterly special lol
These are my giblets. There are many like them but these are mine.
CW Surgery Discussion
I enjoyed looking at various bottom surgeries and orchiectomies. It's fairly interesting what rhey can do and how it gets performed.
no, that's when you post a picture of your nuts on the internet and then feel really good about it once it's done
I don't know how people can be so relaxed about reading about or watching any surgery. I was getting freaked out reading the patient handbook for anaesthesia and I could only go through it with the help of a friend reading it with me. Didn't stop me from getting my surgery though :)
AW HELL YEAH BESTOFHEXBEAR BADPOST
