You are making an interesting point. The first eunuchs in China castrated themselves to show loyalty to the emperor.
"Look, I can't create a family of my own! I live solely for you."
This would lead to them acheiving greator rank and salary. The Eunuchs would often give that money to their extended family.
Later on Poor families would castrate on of their kids while they were children. And then sell their eunuch son to the emperor. Like a farm animal.
This was absolutely terrible.
It's clear the emperor just wanted to spread his genes and prevent competition from other men.
There is one major thing that makes the eunichs of the qing dynasty different than the trannies of today.
1. Back then it was only men. Now lots of girls are chopping off their tits. That is new as far as I know.
