While I agree with you in principle, having your balls cut off does not sound like an easy thing to go through.

The recovery from that particular procedure doesn't seem to be significantly worse than getting a vasectomy, though the infertility is rather more permanent.

If it's any consolation I know someone who went through that and now wants them back. Ergo, there are problems if you go through that too. Perhaps it's too easy to do it...

All surgeries have regret rates. Gender affirming surgeries are one of the lowest at 1-2%.

Access to such surgeries is already difficult, people almost always have to wait a year or more and have multiple psych evals.

I know several people who have regrets despite being 100% trans - they just would have preferred options that were not available at the time.

There are also people who aren't trans that get surgery to change their genitals, and are delighted with results.

There are more things in sex and gender than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
