Content: Maybe for men, it causes more problems or more illness in the long run. Nope, between men and women, the side effects of having sex organs removed are almost identical. We all get hot flashes, weight gain, and mood swings. There can be an increased chance of weakening of the bones and muscle loss. These are all things that can be managed with some hormone therapy if appropriate. This seems to come down to a stigma that men associate with castration because of the portrayal of eunuchs through history. What they forget to mention is that most eunuchs were castrated early in life, before puberty, and then it makes a big difference. Conclusion
I will admit I came at this a bit biased, besides being a girl I somewhat assumed this was another of those slanted health issues. After talking about this with Shaunta Grimes and reading her article I was a bit ready to light into some doctors. Now I want to light into them for a different reason.
