Added "eunuch" to my doctors form

[Hash (imported)]

I went back to my doctors office to get the EKG they couldn't give me last week. It was normal, thankfully. However, when I went to the desk, a different female clerk said that I had to check over another personal history form. I said o.k. and again, "eunuch" was missing. When I handed it back to her she said, "Why are you adding this to the form?" I told her, "Because that's what I am." She tilted her head and looked at me strangely. Then she said, "Well, there's only room on the other forms for a single letter." I said, put "E" but she balked at that. Finally she said she'd have to check. I sat down and waited. Finally she called me back and said it was o.k. Then I handed her a letter addressed to my doctor.

I wrote a letter to my female doctor referencing Dr. Richard Wasserug's article, "Mastering Emasculation" (see the post by Jesus). Dr. Wasserug emailed me the complete article and said I could give a copy to my doctor, which is what I did. I sealed the envelop and addressed it to my doctor, but the female clerk at the desk said, "You know, we open all the personal info that's handed to us, it's standard policy. I said fine." I actually wrote some very personal things in it, somethings that might be risky for me personally. I'm letting the cat out of the bag, revealing things about me. I'll let you know.

I may sound like a broken record, but I have used the prefix or title "Eu." rather than the usual "Mr." for about fifteen years now and have never had a problem. I also use it or "Eu. & Mrs." on return address labels etc.. Any reactions that I may have received have been positive ones, but I really don't think people pay that much attention to those things these days. As far as Doctors records are concerned, I have long been listed as "Eunuch" and have had no issues from the "desk jockeys" who do the paperwork. My one desire though, is to one day find either a blank box or "other" when gender is requested instead of the choice of just M or F. I have sometimes made an "E" out of the "F" and checked that. Works for me. Does anyone like the term "Eumale" for Eunuchs?

I suspect most of the members here would have no problem with using “eumale,” especially given use of the Greek root “eu-”.

eu-

prefix from the Greek eu-, combining form of Greek eús good, well, beneficial, pleasant, brave, when used in noun form, or eũ as the adverb ‘well’. Greek words with eu- are predominantly adjectives of the form euphonious of good sound, pleasant-sounding, or nouns, such as eurhythmics harmony of bodily movement as a beneficial object of education.

Some other “eu-“ words include:

Eulogy (eu- + ‘logos’/’word’) A public speech or written tribute extolling the virtues or achievements of a person or thing.

Euphoria (eu- + ‘pherein’/’to endure’) A feeling of great happiness or well-being, bliss

Eucharist (eu- + ‘kharis’/favor, grace) Christian sacrament commemorating the Last Supper

Evangelism (eu- + ‘angel’/’messenger’) spreading the good message
