My recommendation was "eunuch", with a side note stating that while the vast majority are o.k. with the word eunuch, it's important at the first therapist meeting (or during intake) to have the patient self-identify how they view themselves for this purpose.

Indeed, that is not a short noun. Please consider my posting non-existent.

For a more thorough discussion of this topic, if desirable, has anybody read or even participated in the formulation of the current WPATH SoC?

Not entirely sure, but I believe JessicaH was referring to "Barren" as mentioned by Eunuchorn. (I love the name Eunuchorn by the way. Maybe that can be the noun. We can all be eunuchorns.)
