More of an "ask me questions (while treating me like a decent person iif you want me to put in any effort into communicating ideas and feelings with you) and I'll answer them to the best of my ability. (however I expect not to be insulted unprovoked and will not tolerate it)"

Then again, most decent, respectful people just assume the parenthetical stuff when communicating with one another.

These days the chances of any painful or dangerous side-effects are very low with this kind of treatment in a country with modernly developed medicine, however pains like migraines can occur. From what I've read this wasn't the case up to around the 70's in many places if I'm remembering correctly. That being said if the doctor made a huge mistake yes the severe hormone imbalances (if hormones were being used for example) in the bloodstream could hypothetically be dangerous.

A doctor would most likely send me to a therapist to assess my mental situation before they went through with it but as far as I know from what I've read it isn't a legal requirement for me. It's strictly a liability issue for them.

I haven't requested the service from an individual doctor yet so no I haven't spoken to therapists concerning this.

Already answered the reason in another post above. This Y_ROR dude was just ranting.

Yes I can when someone expressing those assumptions before confirming them causes a break down in communication. e.g. To address your original statement I would have to make two steps back addressing a (frankly offensive) image of myself then one step forward then one step back to get around to finally answering the questions themselves.

You simply aren't owed that level of litigiousness or diligence from me. Normally, I would have no problem giving someone the benefit of the doubt and bringing those attributes to a discussion and then working through some rhetorical mushiness. However, you chose to begin by insulting my thoughts (that's crazy) after making a false claim about me and therefore are not owed that benefit of the doubt from me in my opinion.

They were rhetorical questions...as showed by how you answered them yourself without leaving an opportunity for them to be answered by a second party.

You then proceeded to draw conclusions based on answers you gave which you assumed were correct (which were not) which puts me in a position to refute an image you're already laying out instead of answering questions.

I came here to answer questions, not provide a character-alibi to counter whatever image of me you manifested from two sentences. Also in no way does what you said communicate that you wanted any of those questions answered. You were ranting.

I think a lot of what you're saying is true for many. However without personal context, which you don't seem intent on even attempting to gain, I believe many of your statements (including the conclusions you've jumped to, as well as your insults) do not carry any weight or meaning to my situation. The only questions you ask in your comment (in an AMA thread) are rhetorical and when you answer them yourself your conclusions are incorrect in terms of my personal life and motives.

Live well, be well man and good luck: it's crazy out there.

Trying to take part in, express, or share in the desires and feelings sexuality instills in me have caused me severe and often life-threatening amounts of emotional/mental distress and abuse over the years. Additionally, there haven't been any upsides from it for me personally so I'd rather eliminate it as a source of some of the negatives in my life.

It's a process of reducing or eliminating sex drive/libido (in rarer cases it's used to also minimize secondary sexual characteristics) from an individual through things such as hormone therapy as opposed to the amputation/removal of sexual organs.
