The National Clinical Gender Identity Network for Scotland (NGICNS) shared the claims of the World Transgender Occupational Health Association (WPATH) that “eunuchs identified” were the “least visible” trans group and would benefit from “Gender-Confirming Medical Care”. . The newspaper was deleted Wednesday night and the Scottish Government apologized, claiming it had been published in error. The document was uploaded to an official NHS website as part of a consultation on the proposed updates to its guidelines, which the NHS in Scotland says it is currently following. It defines a eunuch as “a person designated male at birth whose testicles have been surgically removed or rendered non-functional and identified as a eunuch” and “persons who feel that their true selves are best expressed by the term eunuch”. The eunuchs “generally want to have their testicles surgically removed or become non-functional,” the document said. He added that the eunuchs should be offered “surgery” if there is a risk that the suspension of treatment will lead them to try to perform a medical operation themselves. The newspaper also provided a direct link to a site that includes graphic and sexually explicit imaginary descriptions of eunuch children. When registering on the site, called the Eunuch File, users are asked to select their interests from a menu of options that includes “forced castration” and “smooth display”.
“This is a barbaric practice”
Susan Smith, of the For Women Scotland campaign team, said: “We feel disgusted that the NHS Scotland thinks it’s appropriate to align with any organization promoting ‘eunuch identity’, let alone hosting a newspaper about it on their website. a barbaric practice that, for centuries, has been used to humiliate and mistreat young men and boys. ” Other organizations that support the eunuch as a gender identity are the Royal College of Nursing, which listed it as “alternative” along with terms such as “boygirl”, “girlboy” or “gender queer”. The controversy follows the emergence of the “Nullo” movement, among those who do not want to be identified as men or women. A 44-year-old man known as a “eunuch” was arrested in London in December for allegedly carrying out dozens of castrations in his underground apartment in north London. David Parker, chief clinician at NGICNS and a member of WPATH, this week called on MSPs to support proposed SNP reforms that would make it much easier for trans people to change their legal gender to male or female. He told a Holyrood committee examining the plans that transgender and non-binary individuals were “experts in their own experience” and should be “recognized as their true selves”. Some trans rights activists have called for the legislation to be amended so that a wider range of gender identities can be formally recognized. However, opponents of the plan, which would allow people to change their legal gender simply by signing a statement, fear they will be exploited by male fetishists to gain access to women’s spaces for their own sexual gratification. Susan Buchanan, director of Scotland’s National Specialist Services Services Division, apologized for the documents that were mistakenly uploaded and said her organization would now launch a full investigation into the incident. A Scottish government spokesman said: “This material was published in error. The documents have been removed and we apologize to anyone affected.” NGICNS was approached for comment.
