All chinese admirals, etc, were eunuchs?

I didn’t say “eunuchs”, I said "girls posing (not passing, you’ll notice) as boys.
Anne assured us that she does not have a package. She wishes to be a admiral, in China. I’m hoping she’ll read that book before going, so she’ll reconsider that wish.

I know you didn’t mention eunuchs, the OP did. You mentioned Marines, and I equated “girls posing as boys” with cross-dressers.

Maybe that was wrong – I don’t know enough of the subtlties of psychology to say if the terms are equivalents.

Damn, I’m trying and failing to come up with some witticism regarding Marines, eunuchs and cross-dressers. You’d think something like that would practically write itself.

I am almost certain that Cecil did a Straight Dope column on this subject, but I dont know how to find/link it…

Here is Cecil’s column: What are the pros and cons of becoming a eunuch?
