Ok, I've had a chance to think. I'm not sure a physical brain removal is
possible
with the subject still living. But with castration of the penis, a person
wouldn't have to die.
 If that is true, then there is no comparison between what I said, and what
you asked.
Now...what is a trannsexual? Here's one definition:

Main Entry: trans·sex·u·al
Pronunciation: (")tran(t)s-'sek-sh(&-)w&l, -sh&l
Function: noun
Date: 1957
: a person with a psychological urge to belong to the opposite sex that may
be carried to the point of undergoing surgery to modify the sex organs to
mimic the opposite sex

If we agree that's the definition...then it proves my orginal question about
castration taking away one's masculinity makes sense.
