I read the book he wrote about his life - Labor of Love. It discussed in detail many of his decisions and was a very interesting read. It made me question my definition of gender identity.

I remember the book discussing the process of him legally becoming a male. It also mentioned that bottom surgery was mutilating and that only a very small percentage of people do it. It made a comment that to change legal gender, you must have made some kind of irreversible change. Hormones are considered reversible but the top in his case was considered irreversible as demonstrating his commitment to change gender.

I would recommend reading the book as it's written by him and non-fiction and thus likely your best source with detailed information on how he did it. If it doesn't answer your question, I would also try to contact him directly. I'm sorry that I don't personally own the book as I would reread the section to give you more detailed information but wanted to let you know that it's likely a great place to find out more.
