unsex
Unsex refers to the act of depriving or stripping someone of their sexual identity or attributes, often in the context of desiring the person to be free of the characteristics or behaviors typically associated with their biological sex. This term was famously used in Shakespeare's Macbeth, where Lady Macbeth prayed to be "unsexed" so she can commit brutal deeds without the perceived weakness associated with her gender.
