I would appreciate any evidence anyone can dig up on bone mineral density loss and chemical castrates, relating to long term use and reversibility. I’m struggling to find what I need.
As far as I can tell, there have been no study about the bone density issue in male castration, so good luck on finding one. However, the problem has been study in relation to DMPA used as a contraceptive, and in that case the effects are shown to be real, although reversible. It is possible that the effect on male are not wildly different.
My concerns specifically are: [...] De-masculanisation resulting in lower attractiveness
That strikes me as peculiarly contradictory: why would you care about attractiveness once sexual urges are gone?

It may impact other areas in your life. Even if you are not interested in other people sexually anymore, other people may feel attracted to you, and this may uncosciously influence their decisions to e.g. hire you at their company. (One of those things that shouldn’t happen in the ideal world, but happen all the time in our world.) People attracted to you will more likely become your fans, if you want to be an artist. They may even be more likely to interview you if you are as scientist.
Shortly, other people’s opinions matter, and other people’s opinions of you are often based on how attractive they consider you (see: halo effect).

Yep this is what I was thinking along the lines of
