Columbia University researcher Cat Bohannon claimed that castration could extend men’s lifespans and questioned the ethics of impregnating women if artificial wombs were created.

(LifeSiteNews) — The annual Hay Festival of Literature and Arts, once described by Bill Clinton as “The Woodstock of the mind,” was held from May 23 to June 2 this year. So: what did the intellectual elites of the West at twilight have to say?
Well, this headline in the Guardian summed it up nicely: “Men and other mammals live longer if they are castrated, says researcher.”
The researcher in question is Cat Bohannon, a Ph.D. from Columbia University who penned the bestseller Eve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution and has stated, firmly and bizarrely, that “trans women are women” – which makes one wonder what Bohannon means when she says “the female body.”
During her talk at the Hay Festival, Bohannon referred to testicles as “two little death nuggets” and suggested that an “orchiectomy” – the surgical removal of the testicles – could make men live longer. According to the research, she said, castrated men live longer than their “regularly balled peers.” There is much we don’t know about all this, she added, although “a lot of good science is being done in this space.”
That, of course, leads to a question: What exactly is “this space”? Irish comedy writer Graham Linehan nailed it with a brutal, one-line analysis of Bohannon’s comments on X: “Castrating children is Good Actually”:
Linehan is right. If you’ve read the term “orchiectomy” recently, it is either in an article or paper about testicular cancer – or, more likely, in a description of “gender affirming surgery” being pushed by transgender activists. The horrors being perpetrated by the transgender medical industry on gender dysphoric boys were described in a recent documentary by Jennifer Lahl titled Lost Boys: Searching for Manhood.
One young man talks about his castration, which he says he regretted “straight away.” Another described waking up from the surgery feeling as if his genitals were still there – a “ghost limb” – and then the nurses showed him his testicles in a plastic bag. Two times a day, he said sadly, he has to dilate his “neovagina” for 30 minutes. Another noted: “I’m a lifelong patient. I’m sick to death of hospitals.” The five young men, who represent legions more, are trying to find ways to live the rest of their lives, knowing that medical issues will dog them until they die.

Ouch. Although the Bible does speak about eunichs, (of which there were many), the castration surgeries of today are clearly aligned with gender bending for the sake of denying the biblical truth in scripture, i.e., men are men and women are women.
Gender alteration for the sake of (warped) convenience of “social” identity does not alter that. The minds of folks who do such things is deceptively altered, wherein the person merely “feels” like they are of the sexual identity of choice but their creation, by the Creator, is not altered. The consequences of one doing so is mind and body are damaged as a result. Man has historically altered the Truth for the sake of convenience with the impact on salvation and eternity is dramatic.
Very true. They also deny the roles of spirit and soul in their operations. They foolishly think that altering the body also alters the mind, but it doesn’t. The body, mind, soul, and spirit are preset – by none other than their Creator.
What is likely at work behind the perversity is their hatred of God and of God’s image which he wrought in them. They hate the image of His Goodness and want to transform it into an evil image. Their perversity is thus the works of their Satanic master.
