	[[Orchiectomy]] (~~also called~~ '''orchidectomy~~''' or ''orchi~~''') is ~~a [[surgery]] to take away~~ the testicles. ~~For~~ [[~~transgender]] people on the male-to-female spectrum (which includes some [[intersex~~]] and [[~~nonbinary~~]] people~~), they can want this as part of their [[transition]], because then their body~~ no longer ~~makes high levels of testosterone, and they don't have~~ to take testosterone ~~blocking medicine anymore, if that was part of their [[hormone therapy]]~~.

However, for some transgender people, orchiectomy is the only kind of ~~genital surgery (~~"[[bottom surgery]]"~~) that they want~~. ~~Because orchiectomy takes away the gonads, it is a kind of gonadectomy or [[castration]]. That makes it so the person's body can't make~~ hormones ~~any more~~, ~~so the person needs to either take~~ hormone therapy for the ~~rest~~ of ~~their life, or take the health risks of having low hormones. It is also a kind of [[sterilization]], making it so the person~~'s ~~body can't make gametes and therefore children~~.		[[Orchiectomy]] (or '''orchidectomy''') is the surgical removal of the testicles. It is considered a type of [[castration]] and results in [[sterilization]]. This procedure is ideal for AMAB transgender people who no longer wish to take testosterone blockers. After an orchiectomy, a [[vaginoplasty]] may be performed at a later date, if desired. However, for some transgender people, an orchiectomy is the only kind of "[[bottom surgery]]" preferred. Since sex hormones are no longer produced post-surgery, continuous hormone therapy is necessary for the remainder of one's life.
