Coming out as a eunuch

[nullorchis (imported)]

This is an interesting thread. Heck, I still don't tell people I'm gay. I let them wonder. Most figure it out, or suspect. It's like I didn't tell people when I had hemorroids, but they probably figured it out. (not that being gay is anything like having hemorroids).

I guess it's pretty much all to do with our own self image and comfort level. It's not about other people, for we know the world is full of those who are judgemental, and those who are non-judgmental. Where you live and your own personal social circle will determine which type of people are in the majority around you.

In some areas of the country and world, and in some social circles, you have to have pretty good self image and thick skin to be different in any way, straight or gay, eunuch or transsexual. Even hair style or color can be a social separator and put you on the "outside" of the inner circle.

There are those of us who develop to control others and we ARE the circle, neither in it or outside of it. For good or bad, they are the leaders. The rest of us are independents or followers. Being sensitive to the opinions of others develops within us and I suspect will be something that is very difficult to change. We try to change this through rebellion, but the actual hidden way we feel about how others view us remains unchanged.

If you live in a location and/or have a circle of friends that is adaptive and non-judgemental that certainly helps whether you be sensitive to the reactions of others or not.

Should I ever be so fortunate as to finally get surgically castrated this will be a communication bridge I will need to seriously ponder. Right now it is a theoretical subject. Although when I am finally able to afford chemical testosterone reduction (via siterone) next year perhaps that will be something to ponder, whether I tell people or not. Is any medical reason for chemical or surgical castration is an automatic "free sympathy card" where you can tell or leak the information with less fear of social reaction?
