Documentary series on The History Channel

[IbPervert (imported)]

Just to reiterate what Paolo has written, I have had an email correspondence with Brent Henderson and had a long telephone conversation with him yesterday. I think that his current direction is a good one. As with all journalists, however, we will need to be wary. Their agenda is not, and cannot be, the same as ours.

I expect to be providing information toward his project as it proceeds. The History Channel is an excellent venue and not overly sensationalistic. This has the potential to be useful to the community.

The one thing that would cause me pause (at this point) is what would the higher up bosses do down the road.

Brent: Will it be in Hi-Def ??

Haha...actually, yes it will be shot in HiDef. FYI, any conversations I share with an individual on the board would be off the record.

This future documentary...

Would it include men who lost their testicles and become Eunuchs on involuntary basis?

Such as: some diseases,soldiers injuries,cancer patients,victims of medical negligence, various sport and other accidents?

Or is it going to concentrate on voluntary Eunuchs?

Not everybody who is one, wants to be one.:-\

ditto, speaking as someone who didn't chose this path but it chose them, i have to say our inclusions will have to depend on your goals. I'm a rare case of true pathologic hyperandrogisim (testosterone far above normal, in my case 3-4x the maximum normal limit). Castration was my method of last resort, but im happy with the results. if some of the percapents will be allowed to remain anonymous (screen, pixulated, etc) you might find more interest. I also take an scientific interest in the subject as im trained and educated in it.

I approached this subject by exploring the biological and psychological motivations for transsexualism/transgenderism. I hadn't really considered the subject of involuntary castrations and the circumstances that caused them. It is a different perspective, but I am curious to understand how it affects a person.

There does seem to be plenty of overlap between the mainstream TG community and the Eunuch community. In fact there are quite a few mtf TG folk here at the EA. At the EA there are mtf folks and there are also mte or male to eunuch, and of course there are folks like me who fall some where in between mtf & mte. Of course the Eunuch community is much more diverse than just mtf & mte folks. I can't really speak to motivations that I don't have, or even have a position on whether or not they are valid, but suffice it to say there are many.

Some of the boys don't have gender issues at all, it's just that they don't like their penis. They feel as male after their castration as they did before. There are also people who's motivation is to control their libido, or are seeking the "Eunuch Calm". There are people who have medical reasons. There are also folks in power sharing relationships with Doms and Subs, and seek castration as part of their relationship, and there are quite a few folks here who are just into this as a fantasy. Many people state this information in their profile.

I guess the reason I am raising this point is that I am not sure if you are focusing on a narrow subset of the eunuch community or are interested in showing the wider picture. Each approach has its own pitfalls and challenges. If you are clear on where you want to take this you may get more traction.

Herr Director,

What, by the way, led you to this site?

It is good to see that the members here are as cautious with cockumentaries as they are with analyzing the gains and losses of contemplated and consummated losses.

Best regards to all in this project, and again thanks to the community represented here that tries very hard to watch out for, and watch over, its own.

NaziNuts (not a Nazi but fascinated by the bastards), and others here I am sure, would be angered by any monkey business misusing eunuchs in the film business.

I found this site through simple research. There aren't many websites that deal with this subject.

WARNING!

I have just been on the telephone with the THIRD PRODUCER assigned to this documentary in the past three weeks.

Brent Henderson originally approached the Archive through an email directly to IEunuch asking how to go about making contact. I checked him out. He seems bright and educable. He had the normal social prejudices, but seemed eager to learn. I was reasonably confident that he would do a fair presentation. I had several long email exchanges with Brent and spent a couple of hours on the telephone with him. The show seemed to be moving in a positive direction.

After two weeks, Brent was replaced by Debbie Blum. She had done her homework and seemed to have a good understanding of the eunuch community. She had read and understood the articles that Richard and I have written. She seemed to clearly understand the reasons that one might want to become a eunuch. She knew that the vast majority of eunuchs are so because of prostate cancer and she appeared ready to produce a documentary that was fair and unbiased. I, again, spent quite a bit of time with her on the telephone.

Today, I got a telephone call from Henry Schipper, the THIRD PRODUCER to be assigned to this proposed documentary by the History Channel in three weeks.

After talking with him, I am afraid that the design of the show has gone off the rails and what is now being developed is far more likely to turn into yet another

FREAK SHOW!

The current working title for the show is

<<WOMEN ON TOP>>

and it is to focus on such topics as Joan of Arc, the Amazons, and Dominatrices who want castrated male “slaves” as attendants.

My advice to all who read the Archive is to respond with great caution. I am willing to continue to work with the History Channel, but have very low expectations. My goal will be to try to redirect their planning in a more positive direction and to try to ensure as much accuracy as possible in what they ultimately present. They will probably go through with the show regardless of anything we do. What’s important is to try to make it the best show we can get out of them.
