Genital nullification is a procedure practiced in a body modification subculture made up mostly of men who have had their genitals surgically removed. Those undergoing the procedure often go by the name of nullos, and are not necessarily transgender or nonbinary; some identify as eunuchs. The term nullo is short for genital nullification. Though the procedure is mostly sought by men, female genital mutilation may be referred to as clitoral nullification.
