Is a eunuch a male or female?

Question

and don't say 'neither'.

Answer 1

eunuch refers to a male who has been castrated.

Answer 2

In the stricter definition of that word passed down by Patriarchal and Paulian Christians and Orthodox Jews, mostly during times of extreme oppression of transgendereds and homosexuals, a eunuch refers to a castrated or celibate male.

BUT there is plenty of linguistic and historical evidence to more than suggest that Eunuch was a catch all term much like the word "gay" is today. Naturally this changes A LOT of biblical scripture from simply speaking of castrated men indiscriminate of their sexuality, to the demonstrably gay and transgendered throughout the new and old testaments, Torah and Koran.

Answer 3

A eunuch is a castrated man; the term usually refers to those castrated in order to perform a specific social function, as was common in many societies of the past. The earliest records for intentional castration to produce eunuchs are from the Sumerian city of Lagash in the 21st century BC. Over the millennia since, they have performed a wide variety of functions in many different cultures such as courtiers or equivalent domestics, treble singers, religious specialists, government officials, military commanders, and guardians of women or harem servants. In some societies, the notion of eunuch has been expanded to include men who are impotent with women or are simply celibate.

Answer 4
