I recognise the necessity
I am merely squeamish. it's the same with a colleague and friend who recently had Gender reassignment surgery, I'm really happy for her and glad she now has the genitals she feels right with but the thought of it want's to make me hide under a table.

I suspect the pigs would agree with you

It is rather, it's quite vulnerable when you think about it
I suspect this explains a lot of male psychology

Seriously though try to imagine if not just your chances of ever procreating (should you ever wish to do so) but all to your entire sex drive and in some ways the things that make you who you are were handing between your legs in a skin bag, removable with no more than a pare of scissors....

it's all too alien
I find it odd, too, how guys are so very defined by their gender. There's a lot of expectations hanging with them ballbags

yup
I know what you mean, and I'm far from the most male of males but still. I dunno, I feel like with women it's more inside, figuratively as well as biologically. I do hear that women who have to have mastectomies hysterectomies and such often face a similar crisis of gender.

I'm not so attached to my inside bits
I'd like scoop them out with a spoon sometimes, and I have next to no maternal instinct. Oddly, I think my hair would give me more of those issues. I'm not even sure why this is

Fair enough, we all have different bits we care about
and we denizens of /OT are more different than most. I mean some times it's like I'm the only normal one on here.
