We will get there sometime someday when castrations will be as accessible, affordable, and mainstream as anything else. It is up to us to speed up the process as fast as possible and make a difference and come off victorious. We hold the key and need to pressure the medical community just like gays and transgenders have. Look how far they have come. Carry on with the fight fellow eunuchs and don't ever give up. I know this sounds like a football pep talk but I am dead serious. Whatever I can do to help please let me know. I wish Dr. Kimmel and Dr. Spector were still around. They did orchiectomies with no strings attached at all. God bless them.

PS I have probably said all this before in previous posts so forgive me for being repetitive. It is just that this is so very important and I felt the need to reiterate for emphasis.

I agree with you to a point. But remember, being a Eunuch is often (always?) a private matter. It isn't on display like being gay or transgender. There are enough of us here that have never spoken to anyone other than our spouses and possibly our doctors about being a eunuch or wanting to be. It just doesn't have the "out there" appearance as the other two groups that you speak of. And because of that, I don't believe it will be viewed in the same light. Hell, there are hundreds of thousands of males (one estimate puts it at 600,000 in north america) who are eunuchs because of prostate cancer, and I've never heard of them before I started to research the subject myself.

I consider eunuchs to be a nonbinary transgender, but I agree that, while I have a nonbinary gender *identity* (which defines me as trans), I am gender conforming in gender *expression* (I look like a man). This combination seems less common amongst other trans people (binary or nonbinary), and is the opposite combination to that found in gender nonconforming cis people. I found this useful:

I'm a eunuch in northwestern Pennsylvania and would love to find some other eunuchs to talk to and get to know. I was medically castrated in march 2019 and it's been hard dealing with it alone. There aren't any support groups around it's an ashamed condition here and I know there must be alot of us around here. When I was younger I had a friend who lost his testicles one at a time because of testicular cancer and he was the nicest man I knew and would talk to me about it and answer any questions I had.

I agree it would be nice to know other eunuchs in person I do not and never have kept it secret! The more it is in the open the more accepted it hopefully will become. Most who know me know I am a eunuch family, friends, coworkers and even a number of church members and have never had a negative experience!

That is the key. Get it out in the open and it will be more accepted. Just be cautious and not tell every single person because there lots of ignorant idiots out there who might give you a hard time.
