Hello everybody. I have some desire to be an eunuch, but I am also interested in becoming an air traffic controller (ATC). I have read that ATCs must be healthy and must have a lot of concentration. ATC candidates have to pass medical tests before becaming a professional. Could lack of testosterone make a person unable to do this work? Will an eunuch be rejected in the tests? What do you think about this? Thanks.

I suggest you do further research to determine the precise requirements and expectations for ATCs. It's indeed a demanding occupation. However, there's no a priori reason to think eunuchs couldn't do it.

Patient: Doctor, will I be able to play the piano after the operation?
Doctor: Yes.
Patient: Great, I didn't know how to before.

I dont think lack of testosterone would be the issue. Mental stability might be. I think if you were snipped by choice it would be hard to get though the security checks and background checks. With as much fun as it is to get on a plane I cant imagine what hoops you have to jump through to be responsible for many planes and thousands of peoples lives.
If your castration were a accident and you harbored no ill feelings about it I would think it would be easier to get that type of job.
I just have to believe that most people [ especially the buttoned down federal types ] would view somebody that had their testicals removed for a nonmedical necessity as a bit unballanced. So get the job first then have a "accident".

Perhaps good advice. Most people have a lot o' difficulty accepting that someone might be voluntarily castrated unless they were crazy. Of course, there's no reason to presume that capable ATCs can't also be ballless, maybe even better ones because they might be less horny than other ATCs.
