'''Emasculation''' is a surgery to take away the penis ([[penectomy]]) and testicles ([[orchiectomy]]), without trying to make the genital area like that of a person who was [[AFAB]]. The result is a relatively featureless groin. As such, it is a kind of [[genital nullification]] and [[sterilization]]. In a [[transgender]] context, emasculation is a type of [[bottom surgery]]. | |||
Before the invention of surgery to create a vagina ([[vaginoplasty]]), emasculation was the main kind of [[bottom surgery]] done on [[transgender women]] and [[gender-variant identities worldwide]] on the [[transfeminine]] spectrum. Some such individuals still prefer this surgery, such as [[hijra]] and [[eunuch]]s. Emasculation may make it difficult to get a vaginoplasty later, because that usually uses tissue from the penis. However, someone who seeks emasculation may or may not want to get a vagina. | |||
