Ladies and Gentlemen...

I agree that the horse-race of a discussion, replaying the Scopes Monkey Trial in this thread, is fun. It is, however, a digression.

YodaNell posted a fascinating response in this thread, about being a straight castrate who's finding some unexpected (but not unwelcome ...

Dear Friends:


What this has to do with is my ability or inability to "commune" with Christ and that is the only motivation that has ever driven me.

The unsolicited advice: stay in the church, but not necessarily the fundamentalist denomination you're in.

There are many ways to stay in ...

I've read about "L-Tryptophan" and wonder if anyone has tried it? Little help please!



I think it's made with an enzyme that's in turkey, in small doses.

It makes you sleepy. Over-the-counter for the longest time in health food stores in the US (might still be) and works very well, with no ...

Ever since Pavlov and his dog we have known that it is possible to condition certain physical reactions via rewards and punishments. Does anyone know if is possible to condition onself into being impotent?



Some have taken shots to destroy the penile nerve, causing the cock to be useless for ...

In other words, if Todd presumed that adults could consent to the procedure then it is reasonable that parental consent would cover children.

Secondly, from my understanding (maybe wrong) the "parents" had to repeatedly ask Todd to do it, so he may appear reasonably considerate on the manner ...

Okay, so back to the original question.

My suggestion for a eunuch standard of care is as follows. Start with the one for TS. However, the minimum age should be set at the age where people are finished their growth (maybe 21?) and are also age of majority. Furthermore, the eunuch should "live as ...

I'm sorry, but I don't agree. You seem to be saying that the way to deal with gender inequity issues is to treat everyone equally, when that's simply not possible.

Sometimes the distinction falls along gender identity (okay, let's just

call it "plumbing" - because that's a better description ...

Boots, two points here...

First, I think you have a good point about the posts being a bit more pro-Philly than would make sense for a non-commercial board. I'll say more about that below.

Second, I do think you might be reading a bit more into the response than was intended. The response didn't ...

Dunno, but I'd be happy being able to get to the IRC channel for this place. I left a window up that had "/join #gaycastration" (and a couple of other ones) in the startup scripts, left over from a previous IRC server I'd connected to, and when I returned I'd been banned.

That was over two months ...

Steve's English is better than most. I can't complain.

This brings up a really good question. (I admit to being one of the more paranoid people writing posts; a previous paranoid posting started a shouting war that took forever to die down. Sorry about that.) How do you look for someone, especially ...

Shit! I read the first posting in this thread, in a "show threads with new posts", and just sent in another PayPal donation today.

BBoy, take my new donation and use it for whatever expenses you think are appropriate. If you want to just take it and blow it on something you've put off because of ...

gynomastia isn't always THAT noticeable.

That said, the answer to your question is probably this:

The guy would be arrested and then they'd let him go, but it'd make a big stink in the media.

Just a clarification, herein.

My post wasn't taking anyone to task, just using a very black-and-white delivery to say that it's all modification, even the little stuff that people admit to on Jay Leno's show, and so we're not talking about whether modification is good/bad/scary/fun, but how MUCH ...

Women must wear tops, in the U.S., because there's the perception that a woman's breasts are sexual organs, while a man's are not.

The straight guys who write laws probably never had anyone, not their wife, not their mistress, not their frat-boy-but-I-was-drunk friends, ever squeeze a male nipple ...

So? Tattoos are mutilation, piercings are, even coloring your hair is a form of temporary mutilation.

I'm still a fence-sitter on the topic as far as my body parts are concerned, but you speak of modifications as if they're bad things.

Eisenhower had his appendix removed, voluntarily and without ...

You skate remarkably closely to a near-answer, I think, to the question of whether one can change one's sexual identity. (I've deliberately tried to change the wording to make it, I hope, a less ambiguous question.)

In describing one culture in which such a passage is part of the culture, I suspect ...

Everyone will define these terms slightly differently, and ultimately, someone is going to get offended or get their feelings hurt.

I would, however, strongly argue that anyone who believes that becoming a man or becoming a woman is solely a matter of hormones, is a creep. (It might be that simple ...

I think the question, does having surgery change your sex or gender, is impossible to answer.

The terms, the words, the concepts are so ill-defined, all of them, that there's no answer that will be adequate, complete, and non-hurtful.

If the question is, does it change your identity, my answer is ...
