Well, this is the Britannica version of history.

Everything old is new again, especially with the dems.

In China, men would castrate themselves to gain position in the palace. Better food and lifestyle. Sadly, not everyone who did this got a job and were left to be a eunuch peasant.

The ancient Chinese admiral and explorer Zheng He started his career as a eunuch.

Well that explains everything. This whole trans-pamdemic has been another virus from the CCP to infect American social order.

When I was in the 7th grade, we were assigned to write a Limerick.

Being a well-read and somewhat smart-alecky young girl, I carefully crafted my Limerick.

I still remember it:

“There once was a fellow from Munich
Who decided to become a eunuch.
He weilded his knife
And changed his whole life
And now he looks good in a tunic.”

That was in 1965, in an All-Girl’s School in Boston.

Man, oh man, did I get in trouble!

Is Potiphar the Egyptian (Genesis 39) supposed to be a eunuch? That might explain why Potiphar’s wife is so eager to get Joseph to go to bed with her.
