A wacky Washington IT worker has hacked off his penis and testicles in a bloody bid to be a eunuch.

Trent Gates, 23, revealed that he used a razor-sharp knife to do the dreadful deed in his pursuit of being a “nullo” in 2016.

Nullos are extreme body modification enthusiasts who remove their genitalia — and often their nipples — for a smooth look.

Photos of a castrated man inspired him to do the same when he was 15.

According toThe U.K. Sun, many nullos identify as “eunuchs”, some are asexual or submissive homosexuals.

Gates told Metro U.S. he identifies as non-binary, adding that his bait and tackle never felt “like part of me.”

“I have no desire to be a woman. It’s kind of a middle ground in-between the two, an androgynous in-between,” he told the newspaper.

“I saw a photo [of the emasculated man named Gelding] online – it was like, bam, first photo I saw, that’s me, I want to be there someday.”

He cut off his penis at his Washington apartment and then a year later removed his testicles in a North Carolina hotel room. A friend watched to make sure there were no medical complications.

In both instances, he was taken to hospital and stitched up by a doctor. He was also referred to — surprise — mental health workers.

Gates used painkiller oxycodone during his do-it-yourself castration.

The headshrinkers apparently declared him sane.

He now uses a catheter to urinate. Gates added that sex with his boyfriend is now “more intense.”

Both his parents and boyfriend have accepted his body transformation.

However, his mother threw out his frozen penis which he left in the family freezer.

“I feel happier. I feel more me. I feel, I guess, freer in a sense,“ he said.
