Eunuch Hall of Fame

[Nulloguy]

If there was a Eunuch Hall of Fame, who would be in it?

Categories could include modern, historical, a special EA category, and non-eunuch.

To get it started, here are some of the inductees I'd select:

SPECIAL EA AWARD:
Bboy, Talula, Jesus, Kristoff, Paulo, LoseThem

Bboy, Jesus, and Paolo were not eunuchs. Losethem is a nullo, Talula and Kristoff are eunuchs.

My second nomination would be someone a lot closer to our modern age: Alan Turing, the Father of Modern Computer Science!

Alan Mathison Turing (June 23, 1912 - June 7, 1954) was a British mathematician, logician, and computer scientist who made groundbreaking contributions to multiple fields, particularly theoretical computer science, cryptanalysis, and artificial intelligence.

Early Life and Education
Born in London, Turing showed early signs of brilliance. He studied at King's College, Cambridge, where he graduated in 1934[4][8]. He was elected to a fellowship at King's College in recognition of his research in probability theory[8]. Turing later earned his Ph.D. in mathematical logic from Princeton University in 1938 under the supervision of Alonzo Church[3][4][8].

Major Contributions
Theoretical Computer Science
In 1936, Turing published his seminal paper "On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem," which is considered "easily the most influential math paper in history"[4]. In this work, he introduced the concept of the "Universal Machine" (later known as the Turing machine), a theoretical device that could decode and perform any set of instructions[2][6]. This concept laid the foundation for modern computing and established Turing as the father of theoretical computer science[3][5].

Turing proved that there is no single method that works for solving every mathematical problem, addressing the Entscheidungsproblem posed by David Hilbert[3][4]. He also demonstrated the existence of the Halting Problem, proving that some computational problems are fundamentally unsolvable[5].

World War II and Cryptanalysis
During World War II, Turing worked at Bletchley Park for the Government Code and Cypher School[1][4]. He made crucial contributions to breaking the German Enigma code by developing the "Bombe," a machine that significantly accelerated the code-breaking process[2][3][4]. His work was vital to Allied victory, particularly in the Battle of the Atlantic[7].

Post-War Achievements
After the war, Turing designed the Automatic Computing Engine (ACE) in 1946, one of the first designs for a stored-program computer[2][4][6]. In 1948, he joined the Computing Machine Laboratory at the University of Manchester, contributing to early computer development[4].

In 1950, Turing published his paper on "Computing Machinery and Intelligence," which introduced what became known as the Turing Test for evaluating artificial intelligence[2][6]. This test remains influential in AI research today.

Turing also made significant contributions to mathematical biology, particularly in the field of morphogenesis, predicting chemical reactions that were only observed years after his death[4].

Personal Life and Legacy
Turing was gay, and in 1952, he was prosecuted for homosexual acts, which were illegal in Britain at that time[1][4]. Rather than imprisonment, he accepted hormone treatment (chemical castration)[4]. Tragically, Turing died on June 7, 1954, at age 41, from cyanide poisoning[1][4]. While officially ruled a suicide, some evidence suggests it may have been accidental[4].

In 2009, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown issued a public apology for Turing's treatment, and in 2013, Queen Elizabeth II granted him a posthumous royal pardon[1][4]. The "Alan Turing law" was later established in 2017 to pardon men convicted under historical anti-homosexuality legislation[4].

Today, Turing is recognized as a pioneering genius whose work transformed our world. The highest honor in computer science is named the Turing Award in his recognition[7].

[NaturalEunuch]

Turing would be a great inductee. Ironically I recall wondering about the Turing Award in something I read recently. Never knew anything about it, or that it was named after a fellow eunuch.

[Pueros]

Hi!

Excellent modern choice, Danedlion.

My mind is perhaps too focused on ancient history to remember the contributions of such modern eunuchs, with my 'Mountain Flower' being the most recent, having lived 18th - 19th centuries.

By the way, Turing was also honoured in 2021 by having his portrait featured on the British £50 bank note, on the reverse side from the monarch.

I had often heard the "Boston" was a Eunuch, but wasn't certain that that the story was true. Thanks for elaborating. Nice to know that I am not the only Eunuch who once wore a uniform in modern times.

I know of at least 3 nullos who have worn a US uniform. One army, one navy, one marine.

wish to know more about theirs stories

How did you manged to serve army if you had no testicles? In Brazil, at least, they check if we have them...

[TheRagingEunuch]

I didn't join. I was drafted. Back then they weren't particular about who they sent over to 'Nam. Think "Macnamara's Band"

[Nulloguy]

I know of at least 3 nullos who have worn a US uniform. One army, one navy, one marine.

wish to know more about theirs stories

All three are gay and did their mods in stages, being castrated first, then sometime later having the rest removed. They all did it AFTER they took off the uniform, so they were no longer part of the military when it happened.

Before they did it, the army and navy guys were both hung about the same, with 7" cocks and large-medium to large nuts. However, the Marine had a rather large package, I'd say reasonably large nuts and a cock that was at least 9".

The army guy is a former paratrooper.

The army and navy guys are about the same age, in their mid-50's, and the marine is retired and over age 70.

There are also at least 3 currently active members of the US armed forces I know are planning mods once they retire or otherwise get discharged. I'm not sure about 2 of them, but the third is planning to get nullified fairly quickly once he's released from service in a few years, about a week after he gets out, if he can arrange it.

Good for them, but IMHO it isn't quite the same to do it after leaving the service as it would be to either get castrated / nullified while still enlisted, or even more possibly significant, still being able to enlist and serve AFTER surgery...

I have absolutely NO data about it, but given how many men serve, and of those how many have been gay, (not that it's a prerequisite )I'd be surprised if there weren't a lot more ex-service people that have gotten themselves fixed post-discharge than the three you know personally...

Boston and apparently TheRagingEunuch are different because they SERVED as eunuchs....

(Note that I agree with the comment Heinlein had Lazarus Long make that there are few jobs in the military that couldn't be filled by women or eunuchs...)

Absence of one or both testicles is a disqualifying condition for military service, as is anticipated gender confirmation surgery. So on that I would say, "Good luck" getting it done while in the service, at least the US armed forces.

As for your, "Good for them..." comment, the comment originally posted by TheRagingEunuch was general, stating he was glad he wasn't the only eunuch who wore a uniform in modern times. I did not see a qualification for if that was while in service or not, though in his case it appears he served while a eunuch. I simply provided information on those I know who have done something and once wore a uniform, in that context.

I addressed the comment of the person wanting to know more about those folks, so I filled them in on what I know. It just occurred to me I know of one more who is a eunuch and has a glansectomy, who served in the Air Force.

I would also agree there are probably many more out there who have had some sort of surgery post service, than are listed here. Though I know of one nullo firefighter who had it done recently, and is still performing his firefighting duties. There is also a bonafide medical doctor (MD) who has been nullified, many years ago.

Though this is a "Eunuch Hall of Fame" thread, so I'll return it back to that on my end. I've seen some good nominations.

My list would include:

Jack Yount - He was a rather early eunuch by our modern definition.
Unknown guy - I wish I could find his name. Earliest known video of a eunuch being made. He had his done around 1986-1987.
Nullo Tom - The earliest voluntary nullo I know of. He had his nullification done back in 1987-88
Nullo Marcel - Another early nullo, done in the early 1990's I believe in two steps, castration then penectomy. He recently passed away.
Bboy - not a eunuch or nullo himself, but he founded the original EA, and strongly believe he would have had a penectomy had he lived.
Gelding - Nullo. Also a two-parter, he was a eunuch for about 20 years before having his penectomy in 2011.
Eunuch Bob - A cutter. He was castrated by another, and performed a self-glansectomy. He got caught and is presently in prison.
Theo The Eunuchmaker - another cutter who needs no introduction. Caught and presently in prison.
Talula - Eunuch - Co-Owner of EA v2.0
Kristoff - Eunuch - Co-Owner of EA v2.0
Losethem - Nullo, who was a eunuch for 10 years before his penectomy, and eunuch community stakeholder for the SOC8.
Jesus - Not a eunuch himself, but a lead proponent and author of the work on the SOC8 section for eunuchs.

I am fully aware I included a couple of "cutters" on this list. I do not advocate anyone do it that way. I've also left out a few doctors who I think would be worthy of inclusion, as they stuck their necks out for us providing services when their peers could have given them trouble for doing so.
