Re: Comments on Castration Effects? (Updated 2 January 2004)

Ummm. Easy fellows ...

Oh, I'm all for playing nice.

I'm not quite sure how to interpet

This is just the kind of narrow-minded, right-wing, ultra-conservative Christian redneck bullshit that is preached mindlessly by those who would believe that God talks to THEM and no one else.

I call this ...

Ahem...

What the bloody blue fuck is that supposed to mean?

When it comes right down to it, everything concerning "US" is biological, by definition. Did someone hang up the "Philosophy Board" while I was in the toilet ...

Re: Comments on Castration Effects? (Updated 2 January 2004)

No, I have no problems or regrets concerning that statement. It seems conscise, it was well thought out and not made flippantly, and it expresses my views accurately.

Maybe it would be better if you explained what about it concerns you. Can you try to clear up any misunderstandings you may have ...

Re: Comments on Castration Effects? (Updated 2 January 2004)

Let us not fall into the trap of assuming that if something is not biological, it is not "real". Western culture is obsessed with reinforcing gender roles and behaviors, of defining and policing what is appropriate male and female behavior. Thus we would be amiss not to consider the possibility that ...

Re: Comments on Castration Effects? (Updated 2 January 2004)

You are making the assumption that depression-- at least in this case-- is not biological. That could turn out to be the case too. Then there is the difficulty of the hijra not wanting to talk about any post-op depression, as oppressed communities are usually reluctant to talk about any negative ...

Re: Comments on Castration Effects? (Updated 2 January 2004)

I read with interest the different comments made recently on post-op depression. Assuming it is biological in nature, it must be experienced by the hijra of the Indian sub-continent. I do know that they set aside a long period where their new eunuchs are pampered, isolated, well supervised, and ...

I thought it was interesting that thay called it a fetish like we were all a bunch of nut caces.This i feel is a slam on the person like myself who feels the need to rid himself of testosterone.Most of us dont do this for a fitish trip but that is the way thay love to portray us and with that kind ...

Re: Anyone seen this story?


It's a real shame when men who desire castration should have to go to back alley practicioners for surgery. It reminds me when abortion was illegal in the US and woman had to put themselves through the same risks. With our health care system in the shape that it's in and our current political ...

Re: A book about the Sistine Chapel eunuchs

Sorry, it wasn't my intention to be at all negative about your comment. It was more about how our language and culture can so easily lock us into certain modes of thinking, and undermine other modes, and exploring the long-term results of those limitations. Every time every one of us communicate, we ...

Re: A book about the Sistine Chapel eunuchs


Untreated hypogonadism could produce the identical vocal results as prepubertal castration such as was practiced in Italy until 1878. Both of these countertenors have the range of a castrato and the vocal dexterity which comes of years of training - more than a boy soprano has years for. They also ...
