    Common among trans women so they can stop taking anti-androgen drugs, and also a procedure included with bottom surgery for MTF. They don’t let you keep the balls in a jar :-(

        Yeah my girlfriend is weird so I wanted to let her have mine for wet specimen making, but they had to burn them.

        But it depends on the surgeon so you can always ask

          I can only picture the surgeon heaving a deep sigh, flipping his whiteboard around to reveal “asked” and “didn’t ask” columns, and putting yet another checkmark on the only side with any checkmarks.

          they had to burn them.

          They say that, don’t they?

          Really I think the hassle is just worth less to the surgeon than to the patient so they’re incentivized to lie about it.

          With how many religions insist adherents keep their parts for later burial (or other reasons) a patient liaison has to have a waiver in a drawer somewhere you can sign (Formalin is toxic) so they can return your bits or they’d have to deal with church funded lawsuits or at minimum bad PR.

      That isn’t true.
      I won’t be delving into the source of my confidence.
