Way back when there was a story about reds castrating all other squirrels.

My grandpa used to tell me this tale 50 years ago, he also shot every one he saw, regardless of time of year. While I believed him then, I don't believe it anymore. While it may be true that red/pine squirrels are more aggressive over food and territory and will drive the meeker greys outta an area, and may by accident, nip a grey in the jewels when fighting, I doubt very much if they intentionally Burdizzo them.
