after becoming a eunuch, do you get prideful sometimes. like im proud to be an american, im not embarrassed of it but i wouldnt lord it over anyone.....thats not the pride im talking about. being a eunuch you could get season tickets to the knicks and sit in the arena every night look around and think hey im more than likely the only eunuch in here. im special it takes a certain type of person to become castrated and that is me , me me me.

I don't feel prideful about being an eunuch, and I would highly doubt that looking around the Knicks arena, you'd be the only one there sans nuts. There would likely be several others, whether surgical or chemical. Prostate cancer is not rare, and testicular cancer has a certain flair for showing up on occasion. How many seats does the place hold? 15,000? I'd bet at least 150 are dealing with it in some manner. And most such men I'd wager, in our society, are not the least bit prideful -most I would suspect simply deal with it, and a number would be embarrassed - American macho.

I would say pride is the wrong word for me it would be a land mark I would think of it as my first game in a stadium as an eunuch

knowing the info kris said I would wonder if anyone else there was thinking the same things

No one seems to have ever figured out just how many testicular cancer eunuchs and prostate cancer eunuchs there are in the U.S., but it's definitely over 1% of the adult male population. I would guess somewhere in the range of 1.5%. Looking out over the stadium, you would see a great many eunuchs. Few, however, would be willing to admit to it in public. Krister's "American macho" is correct.

I could probably only muster half pride I suppose.

I am not sure how prideful that I am as being an eunuch. I do take great pride in the fact that I did complete the life long desire of being an eunuch. I never thought that I would ever be able to achieve that goal. So in that way I am very prideful.

I would never want to walk around with a sign on my back proclaiming that I am an eunuch. I do not discuss that I am an eunuch with my family or others in my life. The only people that know are the friends in here and in BME. I think being an eunuch is a very personal thing and everyone treats it in their own way. Many need to tell the world that they are done. Where others have no need or want to tell anyone. The pride of being done goes along in the same way.

Over the years I have reached the conclusion that a part of me enjoys being different from other people. I think in fact that part of my desire for castration stemmed from this desire to be different. I wasn't even the first one to come up with this insight about myself. When I told my brother, who doesn't approve of my being a eunuch, that I wanted to get castrated, he told me, "You are only doing this because you like being different." I realized then that what he said was true, even though I didn't fully admit it to myself at the time.

What further proves my belief that part of my wanting to be a eunuch comes from simply wanting to be different is when people say something like "Being a eunuch isn't as uncommon as you think. O

are eunuchs," I get disappointed. When I hear that so many others have the same identity I do, it loses its appeal. For most eunuchs I imagine that hearing so many others want what you do is comforting. But for someone who wants to be a eunuch because it is different rather than for the intrinsic benefits of eunuchood, learning there are so many other eunuchs is disappointing. For me it causes the identity of eunuch to lose much of the excitement and appeal.

So I guess what I am trying to say is I don't necessarily take pride in specifically being a eunuch as much as I do in being different. Any pride in being a eunuch is only insofar as being a eunuch is being different.

Pride can mean many things to many people. Yesterday evening I walked to my local supermarket, and a lovely lady who worked there asked if she saw me on TV recently. Of course I told her about me. About us.

She was very nice about the whole thing. If she is reading this now, I wanted to say thanks. I was glad she asked me about it. In that way I am proud to be me. I'm different, and what makes us different makes us special.

The problem almost everyone on EA has, is that you EXPECT others to percieve your condition as (1) a private matter (2) a negative thing (3) a difference you chose, and (4) a radical step you may regret (you clearly have deep, underlying mental issues you fucking nut-jobs! lol)

Well, I didn't choose the feelings I had, I feel better for BEING castrated and anyone who wants to know WILL be told...lol... And I like to think I have all my mental faculties about me. (But this may just be wishful thinking!)

I don't go shouting it from the rooftops, but I'm certainly not ashamed to tell someone who is asking. And not ashamed to have my face shown on TV.

To me, this is a form of pride. I enjoy knowing that I am different from boys and from girls. For me it's part of who I am. The label isn't imporant so long as it acknowledges I'm different. A eunuch is what I am. I'm no more or less proud of this than I am of any other label that I come with. But it makes me especially happy when someone knows this and still accepts me anyway.

Most of my work collegues know and still love (or hate!) me just the same lol. I am surrounded by friends who I love with all my heart. They accept me just as I am.

So yeah, I guess I am bloody proud lol.

Since becoming a eunuch I have pride in how I live my life and the choices I make.
