Content: The surgical methods and the effects of castration were everywhere  for the ancients' to see. It's use in the domestication of animals  quickly taught ancient people that removal of a human male's  testicles at a young enough age would prevent his masculinization  too. Such a person would forever be childlike - or "girly". These surgeries were also often forcibly done upon captive adult  male slaves in order to "domesticate them" as "eunuchs". Performing such surgeries on normal post-pubertal males does  not change their gender feelings or gender identity, although  is lessens their sexual drives somewhat and sharply reduces their  ability to develop male musculature. The accumulating knowledge about the effects of castration  was further extended to help MtF transsexuals: Untold millions  of transsexuals over thousands of years have voluntarily sought  and undergone surgeries vastly riskier and more dramatic in effect  than mere castration. In these surgeries transsexuals are completely  emasculated by total removal of the testes, penis and scrotum. In addition, the external pubic area is often roughly shaped  to look like a girl's vulva. No one knows precisely how it started,  but such transsexual surgeries were well known by the time of  ancient Greece and especially in sexually-permissive ancient  Rome, and were often traditionalized in various "religious  rituals" that provided the resulting "women" with  a place in society.
