Abstract

Gender-affirming bilateral orchiectomy (GABO) may be completed as either a standalone procedure (sGABO) or at the same time as gender-affirming vaginoplasty (vGABO). GABO is postulated to decrease gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) dosages and reduce gender dysphoria, but these phenomena are not empirically described in the medical literature.
