Hi Dani, I’m also in my 70’s, was diagnosed with gender dysphoria in 2018. I’ve been on hormones since 2019… finasteride estradiol and progesterone. My pursuit of an orchiectomy was foremost on my mind for nearly 20 years.It’s been my experience that hormones therapy is a godsend for me and my GD. The effects have been amazing for me both physically and mentally. I would recommend to anyone that they try HRT for 12 months before they proceed with the surgery, especially if they are in our age bracket.
Hugs
Victoria
