Trans women sometimes get an orchiectomy. It means…
Oh! I get that there are totally reasons that someone might have a similar procedure done!
Absolutely no disrespect intended, and I don’t mean to be like, “ew what a gross idea!” or anything icky like that– I absolutely am sorry if it came across that way at all to anyone. There absolutely are all kinds of procedures a human could undergo for all kinds of reasons and I’m not grossed-out or intending to mock anyone who does.
I just mean. Who is going to do that… to themselves, at home, with a scalpel set they bought for $6 at Tractor Supply– – – and here’s the punchline, because I can imagine someone having the desperation/determination/guts to do that– who is going to do that that would be prevented from doing it by a disclaimer on the scalpel package. “Oh, I was gonna do it myself with these, but they say veterinary use only, so I guess I’d better re-evaluate my plan!”
Like. That’s where I was going with that.

I’m sorry but “recreational use” was the first thing that popped into my head.
Right? Right? That was kind of where I was going with that.
To be not funny for a moment and kind of spoil the joke: there was also a package of scalpels that did not mention castrating and also had the same disclaimer and that made a lot more sense to me. So it’s probably because of that; they’re scalpels not intended for use on humans because if they were there’d be different laws governing their sale, just like the antibiotics in the fridge next to them.
But again, I can’t imagine a surgeon buying scalpels at Tractor Supply??? ??? ???
