I also saw several news articles on the Dr. pediatrician who is castrating her son, against her ex-husband’s wishes. The ex husband complained that she circumcised the boy without anesthesia, and she is going to castrate the boy without anesthesia.
Lots of circumcisions have been done and are still done without anesthesia, especially in infants. Anesthesia has complications and high risks, so it is avoided. I think it is not needed for circumcision in infants or young boys. The circumstraint board does a good job of keeping the boy restrained, which is all that is necessary.
Since she is a physician and a pediatrician, she is well suited to decide how to circumcise the boy. She is also competent to decide on how to castrate the boy. It is her choice to use a circumstraint board or similar device to castrate him. It also her choice to decide to use anesthesia or not. There can be allergic reactions to anesthesia. It can also cause heart damage or brain damage. She may decide it is not worth the risk.
The castration can be done as easily as a circumcision. The amount of time it takes to de-ball him is decided by her. She can do it slowly or quickly. She will open the ball sac, expose the balls and then snip, snip and they are gone. The empty sac is left in place to be used in forming a v***** and female features when the boy is transitioned.
It is a mother’s right to decide to circumcise her son and it is her right to decide to de-ball him. It is her child and her decision.
