What happens if someone’s testicles are removed? This professor wants to know
A professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine is actively recruiting 30 gender-dysphoric males to participate in a National Institutes of Health study on the benefits and consequences of testicle removal, also called an orchiectomy.
Endocrinologist Sean Iwamoto is chief investigator of the study titled “The effects of orchiectomy and age on vascular and metabolic health in older versus younger transgender women.”
The National Institutes of Health media office did not respond to requests for comments on the possible results and consequences of the study sent in the past several weeks by The College Fix.
“Transgender women” refers to men who suffer from gender identity disorders and claim to be female. Orchiectomies are typically used for patients with testicular and prostate cancer.
Dr. Iwamoto did not respond to three emailed requests from The Fix on the possible consequences and uses of the study, if he believes men can become women, and if he would provide his definition of a “woman.”
He is a member of the medical school’s Integrated Transgender Program.
The abstract and his past research shows he is sympathetic to transgenderism. He argued the study will lead to a “[b]etter understanding [of the] acute and chronic effects of gender-affirming hormone therapy and gender-affirming surgery in older and younger transgender adults.”
