Are eunuchs still males

I don't know if I'm a male anymore what am I really?

I consider myself male. I'm on E, and no longer have my testicles, nor the sack that they came in. I look male and act male, no way anyone who looks at me would guess anything but male.

It depends on how you present, feminine or masculine!

I am certainly a male, despite I am chemically castrated. A male without or with very very small sexual urges. And I generally do not respond to other people sexual remarks toward me.

You are a person that has the unique ability of having a choice.

Having a choice is illusive in most cases. If I had a choice, I would have chosen to be an ordinary hetero male without a desire to become an eunuch.

We were all males for years as young boys before our balls dropped and we finally started making sperm and gaining our first sexual urges and abilities to grow into full men.

I think once our brains and bodies are flooded with all that testosterone for years, we stay men, balls or no balls. Our bodies keep most of the bone and structural masculinization from puberty that can never be reversed. You re a man from puberty on fellas !

Your question isn't just about physically having testicles. It's also about position and status in society and in many ways, the power that myth has instilled in a man's balls.

Sometimes looking at different situations with the same implications can shed light on a subject.

-- Is an adoptive parent "still a father"? Say he married a woman who had a young child. The child's biological father was still around but, absent from the child's life. The new husband adopts the child, cares for her, makes sure she has a home, food, education and love. Then on her wedding day, she wants her father to walk her down the aisle. Is she going to ask the man that parented her whole life or the man who she rarely saw her and who took little interest in her upbringing? Is the adoptive father "still a father" on that day?

-- A woman who loses her breasts to breast cancer. She's been a loving daughter, daughter in law, sister, niece, aunt, wife, mother and nurturing woman her whole life. Then, she beats cancer but, loses both breasts. "Is she still a woman"?

-- A solider who trains and serves his country and loses a leg in battle. After rehabilitation in the hospital, he returns to active duty as an instructor and as an advisor for military missions. His fitness to deploy into action is very limited. Is his contribution less or perhaps in some cases is his experience more valuable in training and planning? "Is he still a solider?"

-- A doctor who spent 4 years earning her BS with a major in biology. Then 4 years in medical school to earn her MD. After a year as an Intern and 2 years as a resident, she does her fellowship for 3 years and receives a license to practice medicine from the state. Ten years later, she makes an error which results in the death of a patient. She agrees to give up her license to practice medicine. It's a huge blow to her ego. Nonetheless, she gets hired as a medical researcher at a pharmaceutical company. She still has an MD and a degree in biology. The only different thing is she can't see patients nor write prescriptions. " Is she still a doctor ?"

So? Is a male who lost his testicles still a male?

The fact that you asked the question means the answer is yes. You are a male. If you had had your testicles removed because you wanted to be female, you'd never have asked the question.

I look like and act like a male. I am a father, brother, son, boyfriend. I have a penis but no testicles. I consider myself a man. Lacking gonads, I am no longer a male in the true description. For me its like when a bull becomes a steer, a stallion, a gelding, etc. My chromosomes determine that I was a human male from conception, that can never be changed.

Having balls or overies do not make a man a man or a woman a woman, it all depends on the person inside
