* '''Penectomy with orchiectomy''', called '''[[emasculation]]'''. Surgery to take away the penis and testicles, without trying to make the genital area like that of a person who was assigned a [[female]] gender at birth. The result is a relatively featureless groin. Before the invention of vaginoplasty, this was the main surgery done on trans women and analogous [[gender-variant identities worldwide]]. Some such individuals still prefer this surgery, such as [[hijra]], because it is a traditional part of their gender expression outside the Western [[gender binary]]. Emasculation reduces a person's options for methods for getting a vaginoplasty later, because one of the most popular options uses tissue from the penis, but it can still be done. | * '''Penectomy with orchiectomy''', called '''[[emasculation]]'''.

* '''Metoidioplasty with [[scrotoplasty]]'''. Surgical creation of a penis and balls, without changing the vagina, if the patient had one. Some such patients choose to get a vaginectomy in another operation, if the patient wants. Other patients are content to have a penis, balls, and vagina at the same time. | * '''Metoidioplasty with [[scrotoplasty]]'''.

This can mean a variety of different surgeries, depending on what the person's body was like to begin with, to take away most or all of their reproductive organs and genitals. Some nonbinary people seek this in order to be sexless. However, one need not have genital nullification in order to be genderless, because gender identity is different than physical sex. | ||
