Hooray! We are ho we are, and not a fixed label maybe.

Perhaps being castrated speeds changes in identity too?

It has been 20 months now since my castration. If anybody would have asked, I might have said I'd consider myself a castrated human being, former biological male, now genderless. Recently I learned the term "agender", which I like better, maybe if someone asked for details I would say "really agender". And I would add non-binary and genderfluid, since I do notice differences of sometimes feeling more masculine, sometimes more feminine.

I present myself as me and don't really care, sometimes feeling a little disapponted when I'm looking at myself in the mirror, but if you would ask most of the heteronormatively informed majority, the would see me as clearly male. I have a trimmed full beard, and as long as I would have to shave twice a day and one still would notice the shadow, that beard probably won't go.

I don't really like categorizing and drawer thinking, so I do hope that one day we will all live in the same single drawer in a cupboard labled "people" or "humans".

Yes. We also become open to many changes. First eunuch and feel good. Then I had the s rotum go and felt very good. Now, I'd be a nullo in a heartbeat. Gotta get those letters asap! I really want it soo much.

But who would have thought it just a little time ago?

I've said it before - I was a man.

Some travel through this road (castratration) through various routes (PC, accident, etc.). I would not want to minimize their male-ness - stuff happens.

Me, I travelled this road 100% via choice - and while I am "no-nuts", and not perhaps a "man", I am very definitely male.

I am nearly three years post-orchiectomy. I began on low dose estrogen, and gradually increased the dosage. I found that the more feminine my body has become, the happier I am--even though my outward presentation is largely what most consider masculine (starting with the fact that I keep my beard). I identify as third gender. My birth certificate has been corrected to state my sex/gender as "X." My driver's license was changed one year ago today to state my sex/gender as "X." Unfortunately, all federal documents, such as passport, require me to indicate "male."

Hi, realized I hadn't really answered question. Internally I ID as androgyne, physically I see my gender as eunuch. Justine x

Genetic male trying to be masculine but becoming gradually feminized. My balls are are gone so I if I'm honest about it my gender is eunuch

10-year anniversary coming up. I was born male, now castrated, and still present and feel like a male, but with zero libido, which is what I wanted.

As far as I am concerned, I only have a gender when I'm filling out a form or using a public bathroom. In those cases, I prefer "Other" and "Gender Neutral" respectively.

Individuals may wear whatever clothes they like, use whichever bathroom they feel most comfortable in, and insofar as practicality allows, be treated however they prefer.

I don't understand exactly what the terms "gender" or "gender identity" mean, but they seem to be very confusing words that mean different things to different people. I don't think I will ever need to know what they mean.

The least grating term that another person has used to describe me is "not man not woman." The "non-binary" label is in theory innocous, and should simply refer to the regular word non-binary--neither male nor female, or not solely male or female, but not at all describing exactly what. It could be anything. However, the word seems to be very confusing to most people, and has become a label that some take to mean something specific. Additionally, I could say that my gender is extremely binary--it is 0, or false.

Overall, I'm not fond of strangers using unfamiliar words to describe me in my presence, and if someone asked me what my "gender" or "gender identity" was out of curiousity, they may have better luck extracting such a thing from a concrete wall. The wonderful psychologist who wrote my first surgery referral used "he" pronouns without ever asking me about it, and I never noticed until the second practicioner I saw pointed that out. The second practicioner had me fill out an insurance form when I first came in, and told me I didn't have to fill out anything I found uncomfortable or confusing. Naturally, I skipped right over the pronouns box. I later found out she didn't notice, when she called me asking what pronoun she should use for me in the referral. I told her I didn't mind, and she accepted that with some confusion and told me she'd use whatever seemed fitting. Apparently, she eventually decided on "they."
