My uncle was in the hospital for a long time and when he finally got to go home he was a lot different. for while he talked different, more like a woman than a man and he wasn't mean any more like he used to be. I asked my sister about it and she said it's a big family secret but she told me anyways that he'd been in an accident with chemicals at work and that his private parts had to get amputated off. I was just ten years old and kind of stupid so one day I asked him why a person had to have balls to act like a man. My mom heard about what I said and I got a big lecture about asking people personal questions especially that question since I was a girl, then she tried to explain about my uncle by comparing it to how our dog used to act before he got fixed and all about hormons and stuff like that which I didn't getat all. It's kind of weird but as I got older I felt sorry for him but I also was kind of glad because he used to be mean to us but after he got fixed he was as nice as could be. My cousins and I sometimes talked about it and wondered if he had to pee like a woman. I heard that one of my aunts saw him naked and said it was completely gone so I guess he must have had to pee like a woman does. From what I can see my aunt takes advantage of him and bosses him around and he just does all her work now, that's what I mean that it's kind of sad and kind of funny cause he would never have done her house work before. I also heard that she is actually glad about it because before that their marriage was going down the tubes from them arguing all the time but since he got fixed he doesn't argue with her anymore. he was supposed to get hormone shots once a week but he was allergic to them so I guess he's stuck. personally I'm not really sure if he's actually a real true man or not by the way he acts now and because he doesn't really have the man parts anymore. It's hard to explain but we think of him as an it because he's not really a woman either. If anybody ever wondered what would happen to a guy if he got fixed I can tell you. It really is pretty much like how it is with a dog when it gets fixed. Just like our dog my uncles a lot less agressive and a lot nicer kind of like more tamed. I think maybe some day they'll make a pill that certain men would have to take and it would make them fixed without cutting their balls off. The problem I can see is that if a girl gets mad at a guy she could sneak a pill in his food or something and then he'd be fixed just because he went out with another girl so the pill would have to be under lots of rules like a perscription or something.
