How would someone who's castrated reproduce? Would he use his own d*** as a dildo?
Not trying to be disgusting, but I can't imagine it.

unless he's donated to a sperm bank previously i would imagine its impossible too

Castration http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castration
Penectomy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penectomy
In castration, Willie and the Twins aren't cut loose, only the Twins...
Unless he went for the trifecta...
i watched it as well.. pretty disturbing stuff...
what on earth would make you want to pack your legs in dry ice until they die

See the documentary "larger than life"
its about people who eat themselves to death by gaining massive amounts of weight... its a legit psych disorder, the question is how to treat it ?
The human mind is an intersting thing , there are many bizzare conditions and disorders that may see, weird to the majority but to the sufferers are the norm...

I saw a Nip/Tuck (a ridiculously well-written show, might I add) episode briefly addressing this particular topic. Fascinating.

Lithium wouldn't help. It may make things worse. Lithium helps with Bipolar Disorder... this is separate.
There are a number of explanations for this... they all vary. Mostly deal with chemical imbalances in the brain or 'bad' thinking. I guess taboo thinking is best to say, although a bit on the Freudian side.

I was trying to be sarcastic, but with English not being my first language it obviously didn't work ;-)
i had long hair once. i got sick of it and had it cut off. <shrugs>
i'm trying to understand, really i am, but the only thing that comes to mind is:
i can understand a transgender or a transexual not feeling "attached" to their genitalia and wanting a change, and things of this nature. but to want a completely healthy limb removed? this is where my imagination smashes into a wall. i feel terrible for these people, that's just plain awful.

That was the feeling I had when watching the program. It can be terribly unsettling to think about the potentially devastating consequences people face at their own hands when a mind is not normal and self-destructive impulses take over the controls.
Its almost as bad as people trying to get HIV +, I watched it last night on BBC three. http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/tv/ilove_hiv.shtml

See thats that same thing in my book. Anything that won't grow back/isn't reversible should not be changed. Tattoos can be removed. Scars can be erased mostly. Fatty tissue regenerates. Skin can be added and removed. Bone can, within limits, be reshaped.
Everything else should be left alone with exceptions for where it will kill the person. ie cancer and gangrene.

You've obviously never met someone who is trans then.
Blue Velvet said:
He's not much worse, I for one find it insulting that its classified as a mental illness in the DSM but where else is it going to go if trans people are going to get medical treatment?

But if they don't admit they have a problem how will they get help...
A blonde goes to the doctor and says "I hurt all over. I think I broke every bone in my body, Watch." She touches her arm and cries in pain. She touches he legs and cries in pain.
The doctor says "You broke your finger."

When surgeons can modify your genitalia without loss of sensation or function, then I will think it's a good idea for those people. Until then... not so much.
Of course, my opinion in that area doesn't/shouldn't matter anyway

I don't think many trans people say that they don't have a problem, the issue is the body, not the mind.

That would have applied like 20 years ago but not today. A good surgeon will modify the flesh but keep the nerves in tact.
That reminds me of a friend of mine who was dating a guy that ended up proposing to her. She turned him down, but didn't really know why she couldn't bring herself to say yes at the time. They broke up, he married someone else and had a couple of kids, and then one day revealed to his wife that he wanted a divorce and a sex change. He's now a woman living in Vegas somewhere. Needless to say the friend is glad she listened to the little voice in her head, and relieved she wasn't the one who had to endure that kind of shock. I still wonder how the ex-wife and kids handled the change. Even if it makes the person making the change happy, it still affects those involved with him/her.

I think that still depends on the surgery. I just had surgery a few years back where the surgeon had to cut through a nerve as part of the procedure (he warned me beforehand). To this day the area is still a little numb and if it touch one part of the area I feel it in a place completely different. Very weird.
