I believe you could benefit from some Thoreau time -- get away from everything, camp out in the woods, fish, read... and think. A lot. Or whatever works for you to be alone and relax.
I've read most of your posts. I don't see someone who would benefit from surgical removal of his genitalia. I see someone rather unhappy about something else in his life, or with his situation in general. Generalized stress anxiety? You wouldn't be the first, and you wouldn't be the last.

just tells me you're caught up in the hype. No amount of pills and surgery can make a woman out of a man. Period.
Maybe someday the technology will exist to change one's DNA, chromosomes, skeletal structure, endocrine system, and reproductive equipment. But for now, it's a fantasy promulgated for the financial benefit of a few medical professionals. Me, I suspect there will be thriving human colonies in other solar systems before that happens.
